Tone Down the Freaking Peacekeepers

from GalCiv3 Forums

I generally play the peacekeepers in my games until an AI declares war on me. Then I will defend myself and even go on the offense. So the big bad freaking overbalanced peacekeepers showed up and wiped out 5 of my 8 starbases in one turn. Why? Because they were being the "peacekeepers". But, here is the frustrating thing about it. I was playing a race I created that was similar to the Terrans. The Drengin and Yor declared war on me before the peacekeepers showed up. I saw them attack my bases and left a large Drengin force alone, even though the Drengin would have been obliterated. So, I reloaded a past save and gave away a bunch of crap (credits, techs, and resources) to the Drengin and Yor to entice them to a peace treaty. About 20 turns later the Drengin declare war on me again and the stupid peacekeepers wiped out my bases and left the Drengin alone AGAIN!!

So, the peacekeepers suck out loud! I think it would be awesome to have them in the game IF they would only attack the AGGRESSORS!! Or in other words, they should attack the race that declared war, not the race who was originally at peace! Please fix this! As it is, I quit that game immediately. No point in playing it further, it was no longer fun. It completely ruined the entire game for me, that I had spent hours playing, in literally 1 turn of peacekeeper attacks.

Thanks,

Damon

Good feedback. I've sent it along to the team to evaluate.

Awesome! Thanks Frogboy. Hopefully the peacekeepers can be balanced out and not be a game changer.

Yeah,But their supposed to attack everyone with spaceships aren't they? that's what they use to do? and only playing 1 turn with them active? unless I misunderstood?

Ah, sounds like the peacekeepers I love and remembered from GC II. :D :D :D

There's a reason why they elicited loud and persistent curses whenever they showed up. ;)

But they're supposed to be a game changer.  That's the whole point of them.  >_>

The Peace Keepers are supposed to be game changing, however they my be to aggressive at the moment. Especially if you get them earlyish in the game. I will look into "Toning them down" a bit. We will be doing a balance pass on most of the mega events in 1.2.1 as well as adding a few new ones. So let me know if they still feel to crazy after that comes out next week.

Thanks Mormegil for looking into it. I have no problem with the peacekeepers being game changers. But, I have a significant problem with them being game crushers or game enders for the Human Player. I was no where near the most powerful player. In fact, I was 3rd or 4th in a galaxy with 6 major players. And as mentioned in my original post, I was the one attacked even though I didn't attack the other races. I was the peaceful race. Why did the "peace"keepers attack the only peaceful major race?

Thanks again for looking into this.
