How to deal with awakened Marauders?

[Sumbi]

So my first Marauder Tribe "awakened and he was my neighbour. I was the strongest Race but the Marauders had still 3 Times or more Fleet then me so i decided to surrender to them.
Is that the way to go?

[Sumbi]

It seems like they become unstopable now. They have more Fleetpower then fallen Empires if i count all Fleets together.

Is the khan leading them? The khan turns them into thier own nation and they become very difficult to defend against. You're supposed to surrender and become a tributary until the Khan dies, similar to War in Heaven. However, players have apparently become dissapointed by how fast this happens.

[Sumbi]

Yes its a Khan. Thats what i meaned with awakaned. It seems like those Khans are destroying just all and then forcing them to surrender. The Ai also dosnt surrender immedieatly. So they lose alot fighting a senseless war.

[Sumbi]

So can the Khan die after some Years and after that you can beat them or how does it work?

[Winger]

In my game, the Khan died of some random illness within 20 years of unification (awakening) . Beyond that I did not have much experience with this situation. I think it's safe to surrender to them and wait until the Khan dies.

ehmegherd, its star trek wrath of khan

Ok the Khan in my Game died now too.
After that 4 Factions evolved out of the old Marauder Faction.
Iam also free and dont have to give them more stuff (Energy/Minerals/Fleetpower).
Until now i cant say Marauders are good for the Game. Especially the Ai Races cant handle them. I will see what comes now.
