So after countless hours and sleepless nights rolling and rerolling empires praying for a good start and not being wedged in-between two ulta militaristic aholes who want to conquer you immediately, I do finally get a good start and I'm rolling along I'm technologically more advanced than my neighbors, superior fleet, etc and then in two months time two empires for no reason just declare war on me after laying claims and we're still neutral to one another mind you, aggression is set to normal, but I'm okay I have bigger fleets and better tech. I'm being attacked on two sides yet again and I have to split my fleets so I do that and shell up on one front cause I'll deal with them later, and I'll focus on the other guys who I can easily crush. This is when my larger fleet decides to fly through a system that I have restricted that had a Space dragon in it and they all get wipped out.. How? I still don't know. At the same time another space dragon shows up and devours one of my developed worlds leaving me with just 3 and now I'm scrambling to build another fleet. Meanwhile the enemy who is building star bases like they on drugs are also cranking out an endless supply of vessels from some inexhaustable supply of alloys while I'm struggling just to build one ship at a time as each month goes by and I have enough. Then like some miracle, the other empire that was pathetic to me a month ago has a fleet twice the size as the one I left defending and happen to have weapons tech that shreds me to pieces with no competition. Oh and one other "good," game I finally got to the end by some miracle only the endgame crisis didn't happen so I spent 200 years just twiddling my thumb. Screw this game, save yourself the aggravation until they fix (which they won't) some serious AI imbalance issues.
