super-late psionic theory for my synth ascended empire. Guess I'll get to mine that Zro after all....
Trying out the most recent versions of Stellaris, I created a bunch of human empires with different origins to simulate a massive human empire which crumbled to pieces.
I'd not given much thought as to why, but that changed quite a bit when I encountered a nearby empire.

Based in Sol, and presumably spawned by a lost colony, I guess the empire shattered because the the population of Earth turned into a cannibalistic hive mind!
They even had a ruined science nexus a system or two away from Sol, which I guess was ground zero for whatever happened.
I actually do plan to have an 'Infected' empire of humans, based in Sol, if we ever get an 'assimilator' Hive Mind!zombie outbreak IN SPACE

So it turns out that if a Fallen Empire draws from one of your pre-generated empires for its main species and that species had the Shattered Ring origin, all their non-static colonies spawn as ringworld segments.
I... actually kind of love this? It's the Xenophile FE, so, it's like they made ULTRA-habitats around their home system.

I didn't know a single being could be considered a nation, but I guess that when you are from another dimension, rules don't really apply.
It's mentioned sometimes that Leviathans are the size of a small moon, which is definitely enough space for a nation.![]()
...... ...... Why did never ever think about making them a habitable world? Like a "world on a turtle on 4 elephants"-Style. I mean, there are pictures of turtles around, which are carrying enough earth on them to home some animals or birds to build their nest there.
Or like the cleaning fishes on some whale!
Well, there is that one planet that's actually an egg of a Void Horror(?). Though it tends to hatch after you enter the system.
It would be funny that studying the Tiyanki could allow you to pacify the Matriarch, and then put a little colony on her. Wander the galaxy on a giant space squid.
Is the gray tempest active? That can bug them out: They'll wake up to the crisis, but there's no endgame crisis so they remain haughty and don't help.View attachment 559859
...Which crisis? Am I the crisis...? Also not even a first event for the crisis has popped up yet. So this is strange
Grey Tempest has been dead for about 130 years - I think the Guardians woke up in 2460 because its a crisis-trigger year. 5 years later I got the coming storm event, heralding the coming of the scourge. But if anything, it should have been the other way around.Is the gray tempest active? That can bug them out: They'll wake up to the crisis, but there's no endgame crisis so they remain haughty and don't help.
Hell, I've seen the Guardians awakening fire for one that's already woken up because I'd released the Tempest after endgame start. It was weird.
