@Jokerfaic Hey question re: that crisis that spawned in your captial... What's their fleet strength and do you remember what the crisis multiplier you had set was?
I've got an overly high power level modded game with a mod setting me up for a three-way with the warp, tyranids, and necrons... and I've never actually played a game long enough (always died to trade lag) to see one of the crisis factions. I'm wanting to make sure it's not a steamroll in either direction due to my setting the crisis strength multiplier too high/low.

gimme a sec, finishing up a bike ride

No rush at all, I'm at work right now lol

*though half the office didn't get in till 9 for some reason today*

so hard being the only one with work ethic, amirite?

I mean

*I got in at 8:20*

so stones and glass houses

but

Oh and I'd also like a pic of the map too; I seem to recall the 'nids prefer to land somewhere near the edge of the map

but always kinda wanted proof

Ok, so, check it

Crisis that came up was called Prethoryn Scourge, real basic, extragalactic consuming swarm.... so really perfect for modding nids in, tbh

and yes, they land in a rim system

which just so happens to fit the description of my fucking capital

and iirc strength was either 1.0x or 0.5x

first wave strength was around 30,000 or so per swarm, and there were about 3 or 4

so, with two fleets averaging around 50,000, just beat them by skin of teeth

but by nature of it being a crisis faction, their very appearance completely disabled everything in the system, including the big ass shipyard

and while attempting to duct tape my fleets back together, main invasion force came in and just fucked me

I'll see about a screenshot

So combined power of like 190k?

If you go to make a new game the crisis strength multiplier should remember what you last set it it

nono, MY fleets were around 50,000 each

Oh

so it was at like 90k

but omnomnoms ignore shields

=P

(if I were to guess a part of why they rolled you)

but main force were triple-clusters of 30,000, so that estimate is slightl;y more valid

You wouldn't happen to have any Fallen Empire guard fleets you could take a quick gander at the rated power level of, would you?

There's a boost to crisis power for making NSC less an instant win button, I'm trying to gauge the multiplier they gave them.

nope, no fallen or marauders in this match

Aight

Wait, thought you said there was an L-Cluster

Also yeah Prethoryn Scourge is basically Tyranids.
Extradimensional Invasion is basically a warp/chaos invasion.
And the Contingency.... they're really more ME's Reapers than the Necrons, but the Reapers come from outside of the galaxy, while the Necrons just kinda took a nap in it like the Contingency did. And since the other two have WH40K parallels I just kinda stuck with the theme.

>Half Life 3 "Confirmed" Unironically
I've been saying Half Life 3 was gonna be a VR tech demo, just like HL1 and 2 were tech demos of their time.
