First Post this Sub, War system is confusing me
I have only played a handful of stellaris games as each game takes like 10-20 hours to complete (i always choose the big map) but i am having a hard time figuring out how to win wars effectively. Let me give you two situations that happened to me both ended with an unsatisfied result.
Some info about my current game state: I am late game, I have multiple armies roaming 100k in size
- I declare war against someone and I wreck their whole territory, but only have the unity to claim some systems. they some how force a truce with me (i dont have the option to say no) and all 300 systems of theirs that I wiped out is all theirs again in an instant. uhhhh what? so in 10 years i have to do it all over again?
- fallen empire declared war against me, they only have 4 systems, i wipe them out in a heart beat, take their planet take a second and then they Force a truce with me with one planet left halting the war getting all of their systems back, getting their planet back (WTF?) instantly getting their 60k station back and 60k in ships back!? they declared war on me like 6 months ago and i was trying to destroy all their worlds so they would dissapear but the game wont let me. now i cant declare war on them for 10 years ... UGH
It seems like the NPC can stop a war anytime they want and prevent me from actually wiping them off the map or taking their territory. in the second example i had claims but they forced a stalemate and i have no choice but to accept. Honestly leaves me salty.
