**SPOILERS** Paranid Plot Question

[Majestic Blue Falcon]

Do a united Paranid go on a rampage against the other factions before stabilizing the galaxy? If so then is it possible to keep the conflicts brewing or is peace guaranteed? I want them to fight other factions under a single banner. I want wars and for sectors to change hands. If the galaxy goes peaceful then I might as well spare my CPU/GPU and play the game through Excel spreadsheets.

Get the war overhaul mod on the most popular mods section of the workshop. It basically makes the game the warzone it should be. But to answer your question, no it just makes it all peaceful between the related factions. Basically ending all war in the south of the map, xenon excluded.

There's an "ARG vs. PAR" mission given out in Argon Prime for me. It looks like the questline you're after. There's also the Yaki questlines and the Split questlines. They all have the ability to trigger a large-scale conflict.


That being said, you can stop being a confrontation avoiding wuss and just go punch the Paranid in the face yourself if you're really spoiling for a fight.

thats what im trying to achieve right now ( last mission left to unify them ) , from i what i read here some ppl were saying they gonna start fighting terran and they should make peace with ARG/ANT. So after that also gonna initiate ARG/ANT war against TER by completing TER questline.

Yeah I've been contemplating modding my game again. I wanted to try out vanilla, but ♥♥♥♥ me is this ♥♥♥♥ boring and dead. It feels like 4.0 neutered the combat aspects of the game. In 3.5 I actually had to keep an eye on my traders because of random attacks and I actually saw factions fight each other from time to time.

Yup, 4.0 just made the whole damn game peaceful as hell. Which is incredibly boring from both a war profiteer's view, and an combat enjoyers view.

you can get a united paranid faction to declare war on everyone.
That what I did to spark some war in here.

Once you have completed what used to be the final stage of Unification, after a period of time (I don't know the amount of time) Dal Busta will call you back to the HQ and let you decide who Realm of the Trinity declares war on... everyone is an option.

How did you get them to go to war? I just killed them Duke boys' Behemoth. Is it an option when you go talk to Dal?

It's kind of funny that this is the first playthrough that I've even bothered with the plots, but what else is there to do when you play vanilla...

Ah ok. Thanks. I was holding off on advancing much further because I was going to go the other route if everyone started holding hands and singing Kumbaya My Lord even more than they already are.
