8 days fighting non-stop, burning through over 100 medicine, just to call for reinforcements to handle some inferno cannon centipedes and they decide to poke the dormant cluster... Got myself into an unwinnable situation.
Well, lessons were learned.
If anyone out there is trying a Royalty victory:
The stellar and his guests will, for some reason, come with tattered appeal and lacking clothes. Have a royal set of clothes for him when he arrives.
(uncertain) the stellar and his guests have HORRIBLE traits: from depressive, pyromaniac, gourmand to a pure humanist with five implants.
Get everyone in at least marine armor. Get those EMP hammers.
Get those new implants. Faster healing, less time sleeping, tougher skin, anything to allow your guys to keep on fighting.
Farm favors. You will probably want to be able to call royal aid while on cooldown. Just make sure there are no sleeping mechanoid clusters nearby as they will awake then.
Hoard antigrain warheads, rocket launchers and insanity lances.
Have some hauling animals deal with the dead bodies. Your colonists will go absolute mad having to haul hundreds of bodies out of the battlefield everyday.
Place firefoam poppers anywhere you think you might fight centipedes (emember to not build them too close to clusters).
Your soldiers can use a solid diet of wake-up, beer and tea to keep fighting. Maybe even some go-juice.
In other words, be as prepared as you possibly can.
The stellar and his guests will, for some reason, come with tattered appeal and lacking clothes. Have a royal set of clothes for him when he arrives.
Yeah, sorry about that, there was a bug that caused this. Still investigating to make sure it's fully fixed (since it only happens after really long playtimes, not direct testing). But we implemented a fix that should at least solve issues with the stellarch. I'm not 100% sure about his guests though.
