How to win with the unfallen?

[Clawhammer]

Since they are so peacefull? What strategie should i take? I read something about wonders, how to build them?

Thanks for help!

Peaceful?

They have some decent tech in their story to blast fools. Having a ton of planets due to your super high happiness means even more production planets to supply ships.

Point is they can really pump out damage.

So i still can blow everythink up to win the match? Lol :D
Ok, but i want to stick to the pacifist roleplay, what other ways do i have to win a match and how can i get them?

Easiest victory for the Unfallen is "Conquest". Seriously. I did it totally peaceful. Made peace with everyone, spread my vines to all corners of the galaxy. Then just collected influence and spread my colonies.
At the end i was at 30 colonies and i needed another 20 for the Conquest victory.
A fully entwined system of another faction that is at 100% conversion only costs 250 Influence to buy out and flip to your side. So i just bought 20 enemy systems in one turn, pressed END TURN and won. Does not matter if the other factions are ticked of at you or your approval is at the bottom after getting all those new systems. You still win instantly that way.
Was very fun.

EDIT: Supremacy is even easier. Just need to buy the enemy home systems that way all in one turn.

How can i "buy" my enemys? I was able to assimilate some sub factions, but was not able to find out how to do that with the big ones? Oo (Still in my first game)

There is a technology in the 3th or 4th, not sure, in the government branch that lets you buy other players systems with influence.

they are peaceful at the start of the story but that doesn't mean they don't learn. I suggest making allies and trading if you don't want to fight

Yeah unfallen aren't opposed to using fire to restore balance.

The AI Unfallen always declares war on me almost as soon as we meet. In fact, all the Pacifist AI factions are constantly declaring war, more often than militarist factions. I can be at co,d war with cravers for a long time, but the preaceful factions are war-mongers.

That said, make friends/peace with everyone, send armies of unarmed vine ships everywhere and tangle all the home planets. Acquire the "buy through influence" tech, (tier 3 or 4?), and you win. It's stupidly easy.

Alternatively you could just grab all the systems you can, and then just focus on science for science victory, or money for the super easy Economy victory, or just rush to the wonder victory (I don't recall what tech is needed to build the wonders). Keep enough military to make the other peeps stay away, and you may not have to fire a shot, save to deal with pirates. When in doubt, make a sizable donation to a faction that's being aggressive, and they tend to leave you alone.

Every System their vines entwine slowly falls into their influence. On the map those systems will have a small yellow "peace" symbol next to their name. If you click that you can "buy" the system with influence. Each turn your control over the system raises 2%, the buyout cost gets cheaper the higher your control is. A newly entwined enemy capital system costs like 10000 influence to flip, at 100% its 250.
So the Unfallen strategy is, quiet, slowly and peaceful. And then buy the whole enemy empire in 1 turn.

ok thanks for the help i will now run for these 3 strategies:

1. Buy them all :D

2. Science victory, but i dont know how this works, do i have to research plain everythink or somethink special? Is there a way to boost the research speed?

3. Wonders, but how do i build them?

1. Good luck :P

2. Each of the 4 research tree categories has a "Endless" tech at the 5th and final tier. "Wisdom of the Endless" "Wealth of the Endless" "Power of the Endless" and so on.
You need to research those 4 Endless techs for the victory.

3. For the wonder victory you need to build 3 "Obelisk of All Space Time". As soon as the third is finished you win. But those take a lot of rare resources and a lot of time to build.
You also need to research the tech first, cant remember which research tree, i think the left one.

k, thx i will look into this :-)
