I would argue that it was never strong, i unleashed this thing all the way back in June 2017 (too lazy to check what version of the game it was at the time) and it was still defeated pretty easily. There are many problems with it and not least of all the fact that it can attack only one ship at the time and prioritizes corvettes. So usual tactic of "use a swarm of corvettes and bunch of battleships" works too well against it.

I named it Cadia, had like 40k armies on it and had like 3 fortresses and 5 orbital cannons that would slowly destroy any bombarding fleets. Literally had a 300k enemy fleet sitting on me and we slowly chunked them until they retreated as I just outlived the like 200 years of orbital bombardment.

[@justinfrazier9555]

Take it from me champ. I have 2500+ hours of Stellaris on Steam. Most of the time I don't know what is going on either. But the beauty is you begin to problem solve without even realizing it. Stellaris is one of those games where you can discuss strategy and how to win all day but in reality Stellaris is a 20 sided die. There is a rule in Dungeons and Dragons that is unspoken. Anything less than 100% is 50%. Anytime I do anything I always keep that in mind. Other than that the best way to learn how to play this game besides watching a tutorial video which is the most boring thing you could possibly do...download a cheat mod. There is one on the Steam Workshop. I believe it was called "Better Cheats" and it has been outdated. Follow that mod I believe the top comment is a link to the author who picked it up to update the mod. It will allow you to modify your resources, build speed, technology speed, and other options that make combat impossible to lose. I believe all cheats are edicts activated under the government tab where you set up your council. You can't lose when you build ships in a few days and a single planet gives you +200 to all resources. Learning the game this way is much more interesting than a tutorial video but don't get stuck having to play that way or you will never learn how to beat the computer only how to familiarize yourself with the system. I recommend this over console commands because most of the console commands also grant the AI the same bonus. The cheat mod however only affects the player empire.

Immigration push and pull only affects other empires if you have a migration treaty with them. If you don't, it's just within your empire's planets.
