Can the AI summon The End of the Cycle, or undergo the Horizon Signal?

[San-Kyu]

I've always wanted to go up against the Elda-- an empire succumbed to the eldritch temptations.

[Apeironic_Entelechy]

I'm fairly certain they can't undergo the Horizon Signal, but I have no idea about The End of the Cycle.

[San-Kyu]

Oh well, a shame I wouldn't suddenly go against them (then again that might be to my benefit). I probably should've started with whether AI empires even encounter events like humans do.

They can trigger the End of the Cycle, but its only a 2 percent chance.

[San-Kyu]

Ah I see! Thanks for the info. Wow this topic of mine is quite old, haven't touched Stellaris in a while. I'll look for mods to increase the chance of the AI trigerring it. Makes for a more "living" universe if you catch my meaning.

[Dionysosss]

you mean you just want to see it burn?

[San-Kyu]

There's that, but I just want the AI to be playing under the same rules as myself, nothing I can't or can do that they likewise.

I experienced the end of cycle last night. then I realised that my foot just hit the power strip.

i do agree with ya if i can screw up and be inresponible with greatpowers so must the AI they must have the same freedom as i do!

Problem there is, If the AI screws up and ends the cycle then you are playing this constant game of chance that the game is not suddenly come to an end because of events that happened on the other side of the galaxy, that you no knowledge or warning of.

Much like my power strip incident, the end would come without warning and it wouldn’t really feel "fun" as it would frustrating. Maybe thats just me though.

In every game the player is generally expected to win. Dwarf Fortress taught me that the reverse can be fun as well. Besides, its not as if the End of the Cycle CAN'T be beaten back. The timeline to everything being destroyed can be fun to review as well.

I believe AI can go through the Horizon Signal chain, I've seen around ten people saying they've seen an AI go through it - one of which was supplied by pictures of one of the AI empires, which, indeed, did match the description for the end of the Horizon Signal chain.

4.Manualy make it do the end of cycle contract

They cannot start the Horizon Signal event chain it won't even trigger for them. The only way for an AI to do so is for a human player to take control, receive the event chain and then let it be up to the AI to decide what to do.

Just like AI's cannot do the Infinity Machine event (they will however destroy it if they can... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bastards).

Oh? That could be fun...

Would also be cool is if at the start of game-gen you could set it in the options so you can experiences all the crisis events sequentially, instead of only one per playthrough.

Facing all these things would make for one hell of a battered but victorious galaxy.

You can do exactly this. I've beaten all the crises sequentially with a century of breathing room in between to rebuild and it was mega fun. Topped it off with another empire summoning the end of the cycle. It was stronger than expected and we went out in a glorious blaze of fire.
