Shakturi

[hfl13]

They have 16 colonies remaining at the moment down from 26. Dd_01 said on top of this page that destoying the homeworld would finish the Shakturi in this game and I am all for that. After the end of the Shakturi maybe some of their colonies break for me and my Alliance partners get little. No one gaining anything would be ok too. That would give a race for the colonies as well as a research race for their two wonders.

Will report my reputuation measured by the Guardian.

Your reputation is shown in the empire screen (the central icon with the flag). In the top left part alongside basic empire info and the war exhaustion.

I believe he is incorrect. Destroying the Shak homeworld won't destroy them immediately. It will hurt them, as the economic loss of their homeworld will probably be disastrous - but in my games, their complete demise only comes when their last colony goes.[/quote]

See Bingeling's post on reputation. I believe what you're referring to is your relation with the Guardians (basically, the state of your diplomatic ties with them). Reputation influences your relations with other races, but it is a separate value.

I mostly notice my reputation in the diplomacy screen, though. Maybe it is even printed there if you select your own empire, but the others tend to have modifiers like "+19 (we are delighted with your heroic reputation)".

Kayoz, I had won several games just by destroying their homeworld - BOOM, Popup message, CONGRATULATIONS.

Dd_01, did they have any other colonies?

Shakturi Spoiler Alert:

As promised I destroyed the moon Efisk when the Shakturi still had 9 colonies and the following two screens poped up a little later:

And than I looked for the consequences of inheriting the Guardians possesions:
Utopia is a nice planet and the others are fine too
I inherited about 400 ships (30 carriers)
My Alliance is still working
All my research is done
I inherited a Guardian leader (mine was dismissed), governor, 4 spies and two generals
no reputation hit

The Shakturi and their end ruined a fine open sandbox game as the screen offers game over even if I set up this game for 100%


This was open sandbox but the end of the Shakturi (still three colonies left)ruined it
