Fun fact, if you nuke a holy world not only the fallen empire IMMEDIATLY awaken they also instantly become 3 times more powerful

[@voidwalker9746]

Fun times accelerating the fall of the galaxy

[@PDjargon]

How? Like what do fallen empire's how that cause them to be sleeping.....uh not giants that's too small....space whales? I don't play Stellaris so no idea about background knowledge, just that no one wants to mess with them and I see why now....but not why/how they are that powerful with such a small area of space that they own.

[@voidwalker9746]

@@PDjargon Basically, the fallen empires are the remnants of a hyper-advanced precursor civilisation that once controlled a much larger area of space, but they have since retreated into what you see on the map and focus on defending their core systems. Until they awaken, at which point they go ham on the regular empires.

[@PDjargon]

@@voidwalker9746 But what in their owned systems/researched tech allow them to put out such powerful fleets if they aren't just spawned in by game trigger/code resulting in a player never able to match them?

[@XHachimanX]

​​@@PDjargonThe fallen empires used to be great civilizations of the past, who were highly advanced, after a massive war between the civilizations which led to many being wiped out they all agreed to seclude themselves and resort to peace. After Millenia of peace they slowly became weaker and weaker, which gave rise to new empires such as the one you play as. If you commit a grave atrocity against a fallen empire it essentially sets them to function as they once did, using old technology that can destroy planets and what not. Although you can surpass them in technology given enough time, you must remember that they have had eons to research in seclusion and have fought wars spanning the galaxy, so you can only beat them if you vastly outnumber them with allies and whatnot

Completely on brand for Kleaper to essentially make the mass effect Reapers

[@minibotas9496]

Can also RP as the Collectors via the Necrophage origin. Enslave species and turn them into yours. However you will need other species because your kind suck at menial jobs, but excel at complex jobs Unless you’re a Hive Mind, where you can only use slaves as livestock and your drones do not suffer penalties for working the mines. You can also use the food that Livestock produce to make ships with Catalytic converter. There’s also an ascension perk, Nihilistic Aquisition, which lets you kidnap enemy pops. However, because it’s a Paradox game, everything I said are separate DLCs.

[@blu7384]

Or the Vex from destiny literally just consuming any & all life until they’re all that’s left 💀💀

[@spartanonxy]

No WAY WAY WAY to smart to be the Reapers. The Reapers relied on the entire galaxy running on the idiot ball approach to reality. Kleaper didn't.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

More like the Necrons tbch, but Reapers fit too.

[@5peciesunkn0wn]
