War is raging all over the universe, the Darloks are hitting the Silicoids very hard while the Humans accepted our alliance and the neutral Bulrathis finally declared war on us (though funny we are out of range of each other), i guess our over-usage of death spores in the big war against the rocky guys probably pushed them to stop playing diplomacy with us.
The Silicoid was the biggest threat, because of their ability to colonize worlds in any kind of state, as while i was going happily in my corner of the universe, an Amobea and a Crystal entities were ravaging worlds after worlds.
And resulting hostile dead worlds are no problem for Silicoids recolonisation.
The Humans were also hit very hard as they lost so many worlds to the space monsters that they couldn't recolonize without the appropriate tech they obviously didn't had , so i was helping them by intercepting those Silicoids colony ships.
But what was a problem for the Silicoids was my particle canons equipped fleets, as their super planetary shields weren't able to stop them much (particles canons being good with shields) once we finally got rid of their big fleets, all their new small crafted defense vessels were just steamrolled, and my many worlds were also sending assault transports on worlds that were under my fleets blockade after we destroyed their missiles bases to invade more of them.
Surface invasions were hard because the Silicoids was as high as me in the tech tree so it was only with sheer numbers that i could get a world from their hands
So with the Humans we started to finally get the upper hands while the Silicoids were by now only delaying the inevitable.
The Bulrathi were angry somewhere in their out of range very small part of the universe.
Then i saw a problem, i was counting on getting worlds to improve my vote standing and in the end become elected as the emperor of the universe, i was facing the Silicoids that were losing vote power while i was gaining more.
But i overlooked my ally, as i had bombed to death several Silicoids worlds that i didn't colonised after, as i was busy destroying clusters of Silicoids worlds as fast as possible to avoid them building more colony ships, the Humans took many worlds and took the 2nd place in vote power from the Silicoids.
I guess i'll have to try to kill both Silicoids and Bulrathi as fast as possible (before the Humans may have a chance to break our Alliance) to get an allied victory as the diplomatic one isn't possible now (not possible before a long time and i would have to wage another long war with the Humans).
Anyways.
On a recently conquered world (i took it from the Silicoids that had originally wiped out the Psilons before i ever got a contact with them) i got a nasty surprise, the Amobea that had been busy killing Silicoids worlds (before they recolonised them few turns after) showed up.
I had a medium fleet there, i wasn't expecting miracles but hey maybe i could get the space beast down.
It actually started well, positionning my ships in a way i could get the 1st attack i noticed my shots were really damaging the Amobea, oh maybe i can win this.
Then the Amobea moved in range and moved on top of one of my groups and *pouf* apparently the amobea just digested them all.
Next turn, my 2nd battle group because food too.
Wow, i hoped the numbers would help but the Amobea didn't care about how many ships there was in a battle group, they're just food and the beast is hungry.
Looking at my diplomatic status, i checked the Silicoids and got a smile out of it
