Do umbiddens scale with difficulty/galaxy scale?

[alteration]

I guess not but they should, I'm currently playng on 800 stars galaxy hard difficulty, they spawned and immediatly got devastated by another empire.

Unless something has changed without my knowledge, they do not. (correct me if I'm wrong please)

It's why a lot of people complain that when they show up in a max size galaxy, they barely get noticed because their presence is essentially a non-factor when compared to the whole galaxy.

Conversely, some complain that they're too strong in the smallest galaxies, because there their presence can be overwhelming.

Yeah, in the previous game I played in a smaller map and the unbidden almost wiped everyone, untill the awakened ascendancy stepped up and we managed to destroy the portal. After that tho the galaxy was half destroyed xD

I have turned off crisis when playing on medium maps. They warp in with 75k fleets, dominating the map. I got tired of this ruining my games, so I deleted them.

I'm really surprised that this wasn't implemented by the dev team. No wonder I, always playing on the largest possible map, always find the crises to be pretty underwhelming overall.

Yeah in my last game, they showed up when I was at roughly 45k fleet strength (i was the strongest power in the galaxy).. by the time my fleet arrived at the gate, they had like 4-5 50k fleets.. so yeah. they showed up early and ended the game.

I defeated the Unbidden in my current game, which is a medium galaxy. I was in the middle of a war with 3 large neighboring empires, so I wasn't at full strength and it took a while to get to the portal. I had three 40k fleets and waited until all but one fleet left the portal, then attacked from the direction closest to the portal. I barely pulled off destroying the portal, since their fleets are quick to respond.

I think a mod could be done, to increase/decrease unbidden's strenght depending on the map size

The Unbidden are usually fairly slow to expand, which makes them manageable even if you're not strong enough to defeat them militarily right away. Unless they spawn in or near your core systems and start immediately crippling your economy, of course.

I've never seen it happen, but later on two more factions of unbidden are supposed to spawn and fight each other.

I've personnaly seen it, but by using console commands, it triggers when the Unbidden have conquered 15% of the galaxy apparently, but it seems to be a bit random wether it triggers immediately or not.

Unbidden are still not working perfectly.
Even when separate faction of them spawns, its usually instantly crushed by one that appeared first, since they prioritise fighting each other, and the one that was around longest has strongest fleet.
