Blorg and small vs 3 blorgs and small

[persovs]

In the Blorg stream i have noticed that the empires down south of the blorgs in the war are not sending fleets to support their 2 fellows fighting, maybe its because AI is not done and i hope thats the reason

They have only warp level 1 and can't reach the battlefield

the members of the just leaque will sent their fleet in the second half of the war

Maybe I'm wrong and correct me there if I'm right - but didn't they? I think it was the most southern (Han'Felir something) empire that sent the fleet that surprised Wiz when he decided to divide his forces to consolidate his hold on the filthy insects. And then they got the hell out of there when Wiz managed to sandwich them with his other fleets.

Either way, to see the AI use that careful tactic gives me high hopes for wars in Stellaris. In CK2 and EUIV they tend to just send doomstacks at you and hope for the best!

yeah - pretty sure the Southern Empires attacked but with a 2kish fleet that lost (lots of missiles)? I didn't quite get why the Blorg's other allies didn't get involved though (Space Penguins and the vassals). I may have just missed that though...

The reason for that was that they only had the most basic warp tech and didn't have the range to traverse some of the gaps between them and where the war was happening.

well they can if the planets arent to far away for eachother for my understandings

That is true but according to Wiz, in this case the planets had too big of a gap between them and so they couldn't support the Blorg.

My suspicion? They don't know about the enemy empires. Contact hasn't trickled through.

Alternately, they couldn't path through all the intervening systems. Either through too low tech to jump the gaps, or really just pathing issues.

In the Streams we've seen that contact is established with all races in an alliance if one of the members has made contact, so they would have known about the empire. Wiz himself confirmed on twitter that it was just that they couldn't cross the gap with their lower warp technology.

 

[Slingshot82]

Ah yes - just trawled back and saw that, thanks Aphil. That is absolutely something I am going to forget and rage about when it releases and my stupid allies won't help me

You can say that bringing a low tech civ. into a war was not wize decicion

Don't waste your time on embassy's and fickle things like allies just assimilate everyone.
