How do i Capture a Queen of Prethoryn Scourge?

[Mr.Hmm]

^Title.

Alot of their armies have queens in them but I dont know how to capture them.

I think you can only do that if all of their fleet dies before the queen does, it should turn into a special research project at that point.

[Mr.Hmm]

Heh that's nearly impossible.

The Queen nearly dies always first or in the middle of it.. is there a way to make my fleet to ignore her ? :O

According to the Wiki, a single Queen will spawn somewhere during the Invasion, the first one to capture her will get a "Pet Queen" producing friendly scourge units.

Saying that, I have completely routed my scourge invasion (While the AI did nothing, again - Good thing my entire Fleet was still there from the recent war ^_^) and the Queen has yet to spawn...

Yes I know, I read the wiki too.

The problem is that I cant find out how to capture the Queen. Unless you are talking about a different kind of Queen because every army has 1-3 Queen's in their ranks.

As I understood it, it's a unique unit - I'll notify you if any special scourge units spawn in the infested systems - I recently conquered them ^_^

I see, thanks citatus.

7 years passed and no special unit appeared, well... at least I stop them every time they try to get new planets.

I will focus on destroying my enemies first and wait for the unit to appear :P.

It does seem as if the Scourge aren't really the horrifying scourge they're made out to be. They stopped by and landed smack in the middle of my largest enemy's territory, so I thought "cool, that'll wear him down a bit".

Then I went hunting in the scourge territory and now I've completely annihilated all their forces without even losing a single ship myself.

Sure, overwhelming power and Tachyon Lances work wonders. But still, they should definitely be a lot stronger than that.

I am fighting with Pretothoryns for over 20 years, and no special queen spawned. I could easily wipe them, but I want that achievement. Maybe I need to let them capture several planets ? They never owned more than two systems.

in my plays they overrun nearly a quarter of the galaxy ... because other empires dont see them as a threat ... they need the mutual threat modifier like the unbidden ones

thats odd i just had my federation AI counterpart take the injured queen as i was on my way and completely route the whole invasion while i was building my fleet up :-/

You have to wait about 820 months after the event has started

Where you got that info ?

[AQUAMOO]

from the wiki under crisis at the very bottom.

You don't have to wait 820 months, the Main Time To Happen is 820 months, that's not the same thing. MTTH 820 months means that the event will fire on average once every 820 months, but it can fire at any time during these 820 months, or not at all.

I got the Queen after 30-40 years in a game where the Scourge was contained in one system with one planet. It's an event that fires, you don't need to kill all but the Queen in a fleet or anything like that. Contain them and wait, the event will fire eventually.
