Playing an interesting game.
I am the largest empire but not the most powerful due to my lower tech level. I have about 55 planets and 25k fleet 80 years in, using a bunch of mods so my fleet power is halved. Anyway my largest threat was a powerful Federation to my south with the largest member having a superior fleet to me, let alone his smaller buddy with superior tech. Oh I play on insane, aggressive AI with 7 FE on 1200 stars.
I got a war announcement, it seems the near by Guardian FE declared war on the Federation, a closer look and this Federation seemed to have colonized a planet they should not have. This Fallen empire due to the mods has fleets of 600k. So the poor Federation had little chance and lost all its fleets and lost in the end, giving up a bunch of planets. Nice to see by biggest threat smashed, I was not interested in declaring war on him at that point as I had plenty of space to take from other AI's and my own plans. However a succession of AI's surrounding this Federation did not seem ot share my good will and a series of Wars were declared.
I was excited, talk about kicking a man when he is down. Now the Federation was at war with two AI's on either sided and they had very little fleets to stop them. So I decided I'm not going to let the AI get all the spoils here and promptly dispatched my fleet and armies to the border, declared war and grabed a quick 4 planets including one capital world off the smaller of the Federation partners. My war finished with minimal losses and a nice chunk of space gained which was kind of poking into my empire, it now looks much nicer like an empire should.
The other two AI's are still at war but on the way to large victories.
So in short the largest Federation in the game at the time and my largest threats got ROLF stomped by a FE due to colonizing one planet to many, (Holy world) and then got ROLF stomped by the rest of the galaxy looking for a pound of flesh. The AI was utterly ruthless, poor souls.
Well at least now I at 64 planets due to this and integrating a former vassal and about to declare war on the remainder of another AI I took a chunk out of 10 years ago to finish them off. I should hit 100 planets by year 100 hopefully which is my goal. I need the industrial and economic power so I can fight these FE empires once they wake up, they are very much buffed in these mods and start with 600k fleets let alone what they build when they awaken. I think I need to go change my underwear just thinking about it.
