AI attacking Fallen Empires

[Shireknight]

Could an AI faction attack a Fallen Empire and accidentally wake it up and unleash it on the universe or are they hard coded to leave Fallen Empires alone please?

Pretty sure attacking a fallen empire wouldn't make them attack everyone, just the one's who artacked them.

I don't think we knew enough about the AI to know how they calculate interactions with the FEs.

When a fly bothers an elephant it simply swats the fly. The elephant shouldn't be expected to rampage across the savanna.

Well, but what if the Fallen Empire get attacked by a Federation? Perhaps the Blorg can be very happy, that their fungoid friends are far away from the FE and will most likely not expand in that direction. The Penguins instead...
Maybe we are looking forward to an very interesting release-stream (if the Blorg-Adventures will be continued then).

Taking on Fallen Empires is one of the main reasons I'm interested in Federations.

As far as I know FE are just really strong factions with some built in AI constraints, sort of like China in EU4 with its factions and artificial constraints. So if a regular faction becomes powerful enough I think it'll go to war with a FE, just like how politics work in EU4.

Definitely.
If you've already jump yump drives and Tachyon Lances then the FEs would be just like everyone else.

What I think will be interesting to see is when a FE gets out of its "fallen" state, not sure how that actually works though? What causes a FE to start expanding again?

Don't let them hear you say that tho, or we'll be in big trouble.

Something like this.
