Glamdring Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Draco Alert!! : Intergalactic merchants, spies, rumormongers and other sources of occasionally-questionable intelligence have reported that an empire-that-shall-not-be-named wandered into a system claimed by the dreaded Death Machines, was warned to leave under the threat of severe penalty, and instead chose to poke about in the system, resulting in the utter and complete annihilation of his forces there. Subsequently, DMX forces in the entire region that were otherwise in a somewhat dormant state began to stir.... Somebody had better confess. Who is to blame for bringing this plague upon us?

Sakarissa Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 My guess is that this was a pre-programmed event and that no player caused it. He gave us around 13 turns or so to get things up and running and now we have to start dealing with the Non-Player adversaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco of course is to be more dangerous so I suspect we will see them more commonly than Andromeda. When we're them will resistance be futile or does anyone have tips on how to beat them?

rfouasnon Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Death Machines will have very strong troops , they can colonize many planets that biologicals have no chance of colonizing , and are very adept researchers . They will prefer to use MDD's to kill population , rather than taking population . You get to be Unit Prime based on how many biologicals that you first kill , and secondarily enslave . Should be fun to watch to see if Pete has given a non player race real teeth . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfouasnon Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 The main Death Machine.....all Death Machines compete to be Unit Prime , with the Unit Prime getting some nice bonuses that the non unit primes do not get . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGPete Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 My guess is that this was a pre-programmed event and that no player caused it. He gave us around 13 turns or so to get things up and running and now we have to start dealing with the Non-Player adversaries. A good guess, as there are certain events that can be triggered, and others that can be triggered after that--but always caused by player activity. Somebody was caught snooping about in a bad place, waking a slumbering giant. I had wondered how many turns would go by before it would begin.

General Miles Avatar Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Too bad those death machines arent more active in andromeda. Now THAT would be even more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfouasnon Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Pete would have to make the size of the DM much bigger than in the new region . Would probably not be so easy , while in Draconis the positions are still small , so a small DM would be formidable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm still wondering if the offending player intentionally poked the bear (IE- had some sort of warning and still proceeded) or if it was a hidden landmine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
