Bug in pacifying ecumenopolis

[LordFist]

Hello,

Can anyone help me? Why does this below not work?

Using the colossus has very specific requirements to be used;

"A Colossus cannot always be used in any form of war. There are certain limitations in which a Colossus can be used. One of them being, is that they can only be utilized in war initiated by a Total War casus belli. Additionally, you can only utilize the Colossus for as long you are either the Attacking or Defending player in a war. If you are engaged into a war that wasn't initiated by or to you (For example, by the means of a Federation, or a Defensive pact), the Colossus will be unable to disable/destroy planets."

Since when? I could do it in 2.1, in a federation war.

I believe it's a bug where you can't use Colossus weapons on ecumenopolises. It might be fixed on the beta branch, but I don't think I saw it in the patch notes.

I dunno, I just looked up the colossus info for any explanation, that's all I found that could explain it. Or it could just be a bug.

So, here is the thing that happened:

1) War in heaven started and I became neutral in war
2) I waited and built for about 10-15 years
3) I declared war on one of the awakened empires
4) Used colossus for all of their planets successfully
5) Failed to pacify ecumenopolis that is also their capital (thus this image)

Ah. Yeah that is not a technicality thing, that is just a bug.
Unless Ecumenopilises aren't supposed to be blown up? (for whatever reason.....)

Most likely a bug, they didnt include ecumenopoli in the eligible Targets list of the collusus. Make a bug report in the bug report Forum.
