Great khan end game crisis?

[Sustainab]

Hey fellow explorers :D

Currently trying to finish my first campaign. I just got the Great Khan event. We battled for a while until he died without me doing anything and his empire broke into smaller sucessors kingdoms. So now what? Was that it? Dont remember what dates I put crisis at. Or was that a mid-game crisis and I got even better challanges ahead of me? :)

A few other questions too:

1) I cant seem to get claims anymore, only ideology convertion. Can I still grow using war or am I beyond that point?
2) how do I get more of those points you need to expand your area? No-one is strong enough for me to rival them anymore.

Thanks.

That was the mid game crisis, yes.

1) You can't claim systems of other empires?
2) There are civics that increase influence gain, winning wars of humiliation gives 100 and try to please as many factions as much as possible. Also make sure you're not spending any on any ongoing diplomacy. If you have the energy, have the artist troupe deal on, sometimes they will send a "newsletter" that lets you exchange some energy for influence, although that will stop at some point.

1) Make claims->we cannot claim any of their systems. Get that on all. Can only start war over ideology:(

If they're a fanatical purifier or you are then no claims are needed to annex systems, you just take them during the war and they are yours.

Thanks. I try that

Also make sure your war philosophy is unrestricted. These are the only reasons why it would not allow you to claim systems I can think of.
