Yeah, they've really done a lazy job with the difficulty scaling. Instead of making them more difficult to fight in ways like aggression and respawn rates they've just made it so that higher difficulties make their ships untouchable and yours a 1-shot kill. If the AI actually decided to attack you then you would have no chance of beating them. The only way you can survive against them is if they chill out and do nothing for 50 years, luckily that's exactly what they do.

I have a theory: the class-30 singularity the contingency refers to is the END OF THE CYCLE. It explains why the creators created the contingency and why they suddenly died out: the creators made a pact with the end of the cycle, but built the contingency as a "contingency" to fight it. The "self termination" could have been the end of the cycle occurring and killing their species. The contingency could be what is left over from the massive battle that ensued between the cycle and the creators. Either that, or the survivors of the cycle created the contingency to make sure that the cycle never occurs again.

They self terminated to avoid a class 30 occurance. So, they did not cause one. Plus, it could also be that a Psi race would bring the Unbiden and/or destroy the fabric of the universe itself through powerful psi blasts, such as travelling around dimensions. In other words, it's as ambiguous as Paradox could make it without making no sense.

You missed one important part of the Contigency's lore: you are actually NOT on the way to developing a class-30 singularity. Even the fallen empires only posess a class 4 one ( a building they have is called class-4 singularity). The AI has, however, gone rogue and wants to wipe out the galaxy long before it's directive demands it, thus it corrupts the synths with the ghost signal to make them manually activate the Contingency rather than waiting for the galaxy to advance to a class-30 singularity level of technology.

If you get this message, I feel like the contingency was actually created in the event there would be an empire basically like that of a Crisis nowadays, afterall you completely destroy the galaxy by choosing that path and the contingency was built to prevent that eventual outcome, it would be pretty epic if the contingency activated during a Crisis playthrough and even specified that it only knew that it had to stop advanced species in order to prevent the end of the galaxy, but after seeing you (or a friend) as the crisis it'll realize its true purpose wasn't to exterminate advanced species but to kill off people like yhe crisis, who seek to ascend above their mortal shells via destruction of the entire galaxy and so it assists other empires in exterminating you, the crisis. Would also be cool if it then did kill off the crisis that it can either return dormant, adopts the bodies and appearence of a synthetic empire and joins the galactic community, or returns to kill off everyone after feeling the only reasonable way to prevent such an occurrence would be to effectively purge all organic and non organic empires and peoples to prevent another Empire such as that from occuring again. At which point it'll agressively ramp up production of its fleets and should the galactic empire still be a thing it will scale with the strength of all the members still in the Galactic Empire.

Just be wary of the techs you research and the number of synthetic pops you have. You'll come up to some techs that have "dangerous technology" in a red section in the description. You can research them, but that'll put you at risk of sparking the contingency. As humans, I built a fuckload of robotic and android armies and took two dangerous techs (sapient AI, and the android one), but I only had one robotic pop (my food production was through the roof, I didn't really need it). I received the ghost signal pretty much after I research sapient AI. From then on, it was a rush to build up the fleet size, and then a slow grind to slow down their expansion.

Cybrex saved my bacon the first time I faced the Contingency. Contingency had taken roughly 20% of the galaxy, swallowing my 3 biggest rivals and closing in on my borders. I was TERRIBLY underprepared. They steam rolled my largest fleet “I didn’t think to break them up” and had free reign to my core worlds. The end seemed inevitable. Then, I got the notification about the Cybrex awakening. They proceeded to steam roll all of the Contingencies vanguard fleets while I was able to rebuild and mount a counter offensive. They ships they gave me helped out “also sick designs”. They formed the core of the retribution fleet. 20 years later we had pushed the contingency back to a tiny system close to where they spawned in at. Found out my stupid rival neighbor had gone crazy with synthetics and AI, hence why the Contingency showed up. I was trying to get the scourge to spawn.

They purged three of my planets before we managed to put a stop to it. We kamikaze'd our way into the machine world for the final battle, our combined 200K fleet barely being equal to the fleet defending it. We were losing, when all of a sudden the fallen empire warps in with a 350K fleet and begins to wipe them out. We bombarded the planet together and formed a federation with them.

Just got the achievement for this crisis over crisis power x1. Was really hard and long process but really fun! Few more tips to add. 1) You need extra ship hull bonus to survive since AI ship use arc emitter that bypassing shield and armor. HP regen is also important since there would be 4 core spawning and if they all land in your territory, it would be hard to repair your ship. 2) Despite air craft seems really op in this version, and quite effective against AI core with bombers, you will still face considerable large loss since the air craft need to slowly approach your opponent. Due to the fact AI Fleet has arc emitter, tons of Hull damage is not avoidable if chose aircraft-main battleship. So the best comp against them will be disrupter + kinetic weapon. But I really believe aircraft will be great if you could jump right into your enemies and do 0 distance battle. Aircraft become really strong due the change to itself as well as the new destroyer position mechanism and the change to flak 3) You still need heavy point defense, prefer flak. AI Fleet will fire drones that seems to have high hp or evac, they would soak multiple point denfense shots before shut down. BTW, the initial lunch of synthetic dawn is buggy for the contingency events. When you finish "block the ghost signal" special project the game will freeze. Current solution will be smashing enter button just before the project success window pops up, this will bypass the freeze if you smash your button fast enough. Hope they fix this soon

THE CYBREX!? Also that class 30 singularity has to be in reference to the end of cycle. Think about it, any machine that is created and designed by machines after the singularity (machine intelligence surpassing all combined organic ones) it would be so hyper advanced and intelligent that it would either have a way to observe the extra universe that is the shroud, or they could have postulated its existence, possibly to extremely high accuracy. On top of that, a singularity (in terms of artificial intelligence) is a culmination of intelligence. The Avatar that is spawned at the end of cycle is only spawned at the cost of all the life on all your worlds, specifically, through their psyonic minds. It is not only the physical representation of a "chaos" god from the shroud, its also the culmination of trillions upon trillions of intelligences. If the contingency knows that this is a possibility, and that this Avatar, this eldritch horror from beyond the stars is so intensely powerful as to be, essentially, invincible... It makes sense that they would eventually come to the conclusion that all organic life is a threat. Any life that can one day posses the power to reach into the shroud, and that might one day come into contact with the end of the cycle, would be a threat to the galaxy. They arnt the reapers, not really. The reapers are the end of the cycle. The Contingency is more like skynet on HGH. They simply see life as a threat to the galaxy... the galaxy they inhabit.

That crisis gave me a lot of inspiration, I would love to make a custom endgame crisis mod, I have actualy the skill to code it but I would like to find a good idea, for now my only options are: "Xenos Purifiers" : a cyborg specie coming from a black hole trying to clean all the empires. "Asgard Armada" : an militarist fallen empire which used a special technology to hide their territory from the entire galaxy which finaly decided to move up and dominate every empire.
@Rumpsteakinator6 жыл бұрын
Xeno Purifier seems cool, needs a better name though. And Asgard Armada: Why would a militarist empire hide from the other ones?

When I encountered this event the Cybrex never returned. However the Ancient caretakers (the machine fallen empire) ascended in a special event claiming they where created to protect the galaxy from the contingency and became "the final directive". They then did pretty much the same thing though from the sounds of it and single handedly annihilated the contingency with multiple obscenely powerful fleets (like over 500k) before stating their role was complete and self destructing their entire fleet and ring world.

It seems you did not understand my comment at all. From winning over other crises we get unique technologies. (Usually weapons) In this case, they use standard weapons. This means that we will not receive a new unique weapon. That's what I meant.
