That strange moment RNGesus is having fits

[krios41]

It took the game 85 years to spawn the Great Khan. Can you believe this?
Who bets that in 15 years, when the endgame starts, i'm gonna have to deal with the Greath Khan AND whatever crisis spawns? (i bet your ass its going to be the contingency again, it always is)

 

[Methone]

Good news, no crisis coming in 15 years. Awakened Empires start spawning when the endgame begins. It's only 50 years later, to let the AE have their time in the sun, that the Crisis even tries to start spawning.

Also, I haven't gotten the Contingency once since they reduced its spawn chance sometime pre-2.2.

 

[krios41]

Well... so far the great Khan has been a bit of a pushover... gues thats what happens when it waits this long to spawn.. everyone is having battleships already (i even have titans).

 

[Dustman]

20k fleets at this point is a joke. I like keeping marauding clans intact as long as possible, mainly for their admirals, and occasional directed raiding of your rivals.

Oh, I think you are looking at the glass half empty. Consider the wisdom of Dilbert for this situation:

the Great Khan sadly didn't last long. 5 years and he was done for

I once had WIH start so late, the Unbidden arrived before the second FE could Awaken, resulting in the second one not counting as WIH progress and trying to beat the Unbidden.
Meanwhile AE #1 and all his subjects totally ignored everything and attacked the others, resulting in pacifist me happily strolling to the literal other side of the galaxy to save their butts.
...
And I was greeted with closed borders halfway on the trip home.

I, on the other hand, haven't seen anything but the Contingency ever since it was added to the game. =/

But on the topic of the thread, the Khan really shouldn't be much of a problem by 2385. At least if one would have at least somewhat decent fleets, which OP though has for some reason not.

i'm the biggest boi in my part of teh galaxy, am part of 3 defensive pacts (none of wich are actually beneficial for me)
I simply don't need a larger fleet, as not even the nearby hostile federation can actually stand up to me (maybe they could if they gatherd every single ship, but i easily smash their 40K federation fleet). I'm currently building a matter decompressor to feed my Ecumenopolis (wich isn't even build up yet, so my alloy output will more than double over the next few years). If the crisis or a WiH hits i can mobilize increadibly fast and build 2 more fleets with cutting edge tech if i want to, all of wich will contain a titan ofcourse.

ps. the great Khan didn't last past 5 years

Fallen Empires are about to awake in 15 years. They will absolutely wreck your tiny navy.

Well, I'm not sure what settings you are using, but I wouldn't look at 14k in alloys in the stockpile as enough to create a fleet capable of warding off a WiH or Crisis, assuming my shipyards could build it all within a few months, which I'm not sure 6 shipyards could accomplish in this situation.

Of course, some of the Crises are buggy, but the last time the Unbidden showed up on my very doorstep the moment they entered the galaxy, I had probably lost 40k in alloys worth of ships in the first two years. I don't feel prepared for a Crisis unless I'm sitting at 1000 alloys a month in surplus with 20-30 shipyards ready to replace losses.

Well, i have an ecumenopolis thats being built up that is going to add double my current alloy output, at least. By the time a crisis hits or a WiH my matter decompressor will be done and if i'm extremly unlucky i'l be in the proces of making a dyson sphere, otherwise that one will be done too.

i got dis. (famous last words)
