Space monsters

from Stardock Forums
Anyone agree with me that Space monsters tend to be waaaay too tough? I mean early in the game a monster with an attack of 134 pretty much wipes out the whole galaxy. And the funny thing is that usually they don't come alone ;)

Anyway off to start a new game, second time in a row space monsters ruin the whole galaxy.

An attack of 134? I've only seen them with attack ratings of 40. Then again, I'm not usually the one who deals with them. I usually let the computer do that. :)

If you dont like a random event, cheat.Set your autosave to every turn and reload the previous turn. These events are usually totally random, even if another event is triggered it will nearly always be a different one.

In this second game I considered loading an earlier save but then I thought that my last major opponent could handle those monsters (three of those attack rating 134 monsters escaped from his zoo). Guess what, those monsters wandered through the whole galaxy just to enter my tiny little area ;)

Anyway I tried to kill even one of those by combining my whole fleet but I managed to drop the hp to 200/300.

No they're not common nor tough enough. I disagree. Things are getting way too nerfed in this game.

I haven't even seen one yet. I know my opponents are fighting them though.

Since the nerf that prevented them from showing up on the lower levels, I haven't seen them early on. I did see them late game, a couple of games ago.

Just reached being able to occasionally hold my own on Normal, so it should be interesting with the space monsters.

Normally, if it wasn't a mass outbreak (repeated turns of space monsters), I'd just use a few scout craft to lead them to my opponent's territory. Let them shread the AIs ships and starbases... When it was multi turns of new space monsters, that tended to kill the game.

Actually, so did them turning up just when space fighters or corvettes had been researched, but I haven't seen that since the nerfing... :D
