Necrophage, Fanatical Purifiers

[Xenith_Shadow]

I picked up necroids at same time as new dlc and made a necrophage fanactical purifer.
Unfortunatly my presapient speices was imediatly set to undesirables and purged, so i guess that play through is a bust.
Kinda expected to mecrophage to prevent you from selecting purifiers and vica versa. As syncretic evolution is already banned in combination with purifier.

Nah, that's how I play on purpose for my necro-FP games. You just need to go 100% alloys and conquer your nearest/weakest neighbor. At that point, you'll be one of (if not the) strongest empire in the galaxy.

Then, just keep conquering/eating.

FP necro conversion is so fast. Once you get rolling, it's even stronger than normal FP games.

It's just that the beginning is tricky. With 3.0, though, I would *definitely* take Corvee as a civic (to avoid the influence cost of moving pops). You simply *must* be able to move massive populations numbers around after conquering a planet. It requires a bit more planning than normal FP games, since your population grows in big bursts after each conquered planet.

Haven't actually done this, but I've read that you can prevent that from happening by making your prepatent species a subspecies of your founder species (same portrait and name) that just so happens to not be slow-growing Necrophages, but some variant with, for example, Fast Breeders instead. This enables you to play similarly to how you'd likely normally play Necrophages.

Necrophages have a unique Purge type that will quickly turn any Purged pops into your primary species. It's very powerful.

This exploit should be fixed in 3.0.1.

Oh so if im a purifier it will just insta conver the presapient species and then i need to invade more world due to my low pop growth?

Pretty much yeah. Make sure you set your purge type to necrophage though that should be default.

Will that affect the same species name and same portrait in general?
Because I really liked that. We did a 40k MP game where we used different types of empires with the same species. Would be really sad to see that possibility gone completely.

This makes a lot of sense for balance but I'm sad to see it go, it was really fun. Any chance of us being able to go Necrophage Hive-Mind for the Flood RP experience any time soon though?
