Any ship in orbit provides troop support which is fine, and that troop support will replenish every turn if that ship is in friendly territory which is also fine because with every other factions ships you can fight them in orbit and destroy them to stop them providing support, which is invasion 101.
This isn't a trait specific to the Vodyani though, it only affects them because of some of their specific mechanics. Don t waste your time trying to take planets that are't improved and don't have any infrastructure
Use your navy to cripple their ability to expand. You're complaining that you can't zerg the faction specifically designed to be hard to take in an infantry war. It makes logical sense that defeating projections of virtual consciousness doesn't work that well.Īnd seriously. You kill them and they just port more minds to bodies. Since all your resources come from your population, keeping your population in constant boost (generating +8 instead of +4) should be a top priority.Originally posted by Autocthon:the Vodyani are virtual beings. If you don’t see any system with this resource, then make it a priority to research Galactic Commodities, then buy all of it from the market, whenever there are some available. Then quickly find a system that has this resource, and make it your first priority to send an ark there (or maybe even move your existing Ark there). (remember to keep upgrading all the Arks in the future when you unlock more slots, or “All Must Provide II” etc).Īlso, look from the first turn, which luxury resource is needed to Boost your population (it’s chosen at random at the beginning of each game).
Since your population is so powerful at generating all FIDSI, and Essence is needed to increase your population, it’s better to focus all your arks on generating only Essence, which in turn will raise your population faster, and in turn will generate LOTS of science/dust/production/influence.Īlso, the Arks are powerful enough to provide all the essence you need, so you don’t really need to bother with leeching minor/major factions.

Then pay to upgrade your main ark to the new design. Change every single slot that can host a module, and put a “All Must Provide” in it. Don’t waste production on food-only infrastructures.Īs soon as you have around 500 credit accumulated, go to the fleet screen, and edit your ark. In the meantime, slowly build your main system (starting with Cerebral Reality etc) with what you have available. Try to avoid pirates, and if you encounter any, just flee.
So send your Wheel and your Leecher around, making ample use of your Wheel’s probes (don’t waste them on anomalies yet), to unveil the map around you. With Vodyani, the only things that really matter is the number of planets (your population have a +8 of everything, so it’s always better to have more population, than better bonuses). Ignore anything with less than 4 planets, and don’t pay too much attention on all the FIDSI bonuses of the different planets. When the game starts, your first order of business is to explore the galaxy around you, and try to find systems with 5 planets (or 4 planets if they have resources you really need).
