Galactic civilizations 3 planetary invasion

Without their starbase bonuses, the Altarian ships are no match for the Wildcat. Kaedrinian Task Force Alpha takes on some Altarians The Wildcats were first used to take out the AltariansвЂ™ military starbases, thus removing their most important advantage. Once the Wildcat arrived on the scene, things turned around in fairly short order. The Altarians even attempted a ground invasion of Drengi, which, thankfully, was repelled decisively. However, during the design and construction of the Wildcat fleet, several hunter class ships had fallen against the Altarian onslaught.

Also, since I had spent some time early on in the game developing a large economic base, I was able to purchase several Wildcats at once and deploy them against the Altarians. It doesnвЂ™t handle any attacks as well as the Hunter handled missiles, but it still has quality defenses. WhatвЂ™s important about the Wildcat is that it can defend against any weapons thrown at it. It was time to develop the next generation warship:ДЄgain, this shipвЂ™s weaponry has not changed much (itвЂ™s smaller, but of the same power and type), but it will still pack a solid punch against the Altarian ships.

The Hunter class battle cruisers that had served me so well in the Drengin campaigns would crumble under the diverse weaponry of the Altarians. WhatвЂ™s more, theyвЂ™ve also developed certain defenses and fortified their territory with military starbases, giving their ships a significant boost in capabilities. They have ships utilzing beam weapons, missiles, and mass drivers. Unlike the Drengin, the Altarians have spread their research into a diverse set of weaponry. The assassination of their leader has set off another war, one which IвЂ™m not especially prepared for. The Altarians declare war on the Kaedrinians! On its own, this would not prompt much in the way of action from me, but a few weeks later, another unexpected event rocks the galaxy: IвЂ™ll need to keep an eye out for these new pirates, who are sure to be intercepting trade routes and generally causing mischief. However, as you might expect from a United Planets type organization, the plan has backfired and the prisoners have escaped, hijacking several ships. This gave the Altarians a boost in production capabilities, as they could use the prisoners as a cheap source of labor. First, it appears that the United Planets (like the UN, but with galactic civilizations instead of countries) had built a prison facility on an Altarian planet. As I make preparations, two events occur that would force another change in strategy. It looks like I could pull off an influence-based victory if I start building and upgrading starbases in key positions. Two new planets are mine, including the Drengin homeworld, which rates a 20 in planet quality (this is the highest in the known galaxy, significantly higher than even the Snathi homeworld).ДЄ fleet of Hunter class starships in orbit around the newly acquired DrengiДЄt this point, I control a significant portion of the galaxy, and my influence is on the rise. A few weeks later, and the ground invasions begin, making quick work of the Drengin empire.

Indeed, the Hunter class ships live up to their name, annihilating the entire Drengin fleet in two weeks of battle, taking only negligible damage. Offensively, this isnвЂ™t much different than the Space Lion, but it has a drastically improved defensive system which should be able to stop anything the Drengins throw at me.

The Drengin ships seem to exclusively use missile-type weapons, which meant that my current generation battleship, the Space Lion, would be outmatched (it only featured a small shielding mechanism not meant to defend against missiles). It did not take long for tensions to escalate into full-scale war. Their military abilities were further developed and this added capacity (once fully utilized) would give them a higher industrial base (one that I probably could not match). They had not declared war just yet, but I could see the writing on the wallвЂ¦ And to make matters worse, the Drengins discovered some precursor machines on the Drengin Homeworld that doubled their planetary quality. However, The Drengin Empire, perhaps jealous over our conquest of Snathi, were not too happy with the Kaedrinians. The Kaedrinians had neutral or close relationships with almost every other civilization. However, it would not be long before the Kaedrinian empire had another challenger. With the conquest of the high quality Snathi homeworld, my empire was doing reasonably well and had secured reasonable long term prospects for success. In the Rise of the Kaedrinians, I recounted the birth of the Kaedrinian empire as well as its first major conflict with the adorable but deadly Snathi. This is a continuation of a Galactic Civilizations II game example I started a few weeks ago.
