BUG REPORT

[crawfish]

um so I am on turn 122 and all of a sudden the amoeba empire culture spread over half of what I own, and I don't have open borders with them and they own only like one arm of a medium spiral galaxy with eight arms, and I own the rest of the galazy but two systems due to the fact of the United Empire owning those. I also know that is not a tech because when I saw this I went through every single tech in the game and found nothing that could change this so drastically.

149 hours on the game and have never seen this happen even against the amoebas

You dont really provide any information that could help you figure out what happened so I m going with guesses.

How powerfull an faction is is mostly determined by how evolved its systems are, not how many it has. In technical terms it always comes down to FIDS and its possible to generate more FIDS with 5 systems then a lower-tech enemy with 20 systems even tho in the end you are correct, more systems usually equal more power (when technology levels balance out across all surviving factions)

Are you playing classic or Disharmony?
What game speed are you playing?
What difficulty are you playing?

Disharmony has a special invasion system which classic has not. It involves troops and enables an enemy faction to instantly take over systems if the systems defense values are low enough. This would generate an ingame message tho (along with any other notifications)

When you say "spread over half of what I own" what do you actually mean?

Moving into your empire?
Putting half of what you own under siege?
Flipping half of what you own?
Are their fleets sitting on system orbits of yours or are they "flying through"?



As you can see, your report makes it impossible to give an answer but generates a lot more questions. Got any screenshots by chance?

i have a screenshot but its not letting me post it

Maybe he means that Amoeba evolved faster than his faction and he is annoyed about. I can say if enemy faction play fair, there are no surprises. Every game is different, it's depend what you do in the game, how many star systems you owns. I can see that AI factions evolve fast and very well. You need to have more star systems than AI to have more scores.
