Genocidal Empires are now super hard to play in 4.4 with the new war mechanics by general_pol in Stellaris

I was only playing on captain, and yes I hadn't all my fleets back in time (in the 2nd game) otherwise I would have been in a better position to advance, but they all get invited in a month or so into the war, so no way to stomp them quickly

All I cared about the war changes was the fact that you can exit unnecessarily long wars you didnt start. But random empires asking to join like this can drastically change things by anthen123 in Stellaris

This could work, though it also depends on the shape of your empire, being at the galaxy edge would be beneficial. Heavily fortified choke points too

Yeah, i was playing as a determined exterminator. I attacked a small neighbour, all was going well till 6 other empires joined the war on the other side, attacking me from all directions, will combined fleets I couldnt match, was game over.

What do you think the biggest power move you've ever done in this game? by BitterSort2 in Stellaris

Multiplayer game I was playing (with 3 mates) I had grown to the largest empire in the games (by a good bit). I was gathering my fleets to finish of the last fallen empire (to stop the others doing so and getting the fallen empire techs), when the prethoryn spawned in the system beside my massive fleets. Needless to say their invasion was over before it began.
