Taz's Challenge!

SO, we all know the way to win; Kill the command center

that's nice and all, but there's an aftergame once you have won....

My challenge is, once you have won, use the showdown devices to "Lock up" the universe. The catch? Clear all planets on a 120 planet map first.

I don't care how you clean them (Spire summoning, manually, nukes, devourer, etc.) kill everything on them (Command posts included.)

Once that's finished, and you successfully clean the galaxy and prevent more AI ships from ever coming back, settle on every planet.

The higher of the difficulty you do this, the more points you gain, following this chart;
LVL 1-6 AI, .5 points per AI
LVL 7 AI, 1 point Per AI
LVL 8 AI, 2 points per AI
LVL 9 AI, 3 points per AI
LVL 10 AI, 4 points per AI

Tl;DR requirements;
-Kill both AI command stations
-Destroy all command posts on all planets
-Use the showdown device to prevent any new AI ships from spawning (MUST BE AFTER THE PREVIOUS TWO STEPS TO COUNT)
-kill all AI ships and colonize every planet.
-Post pictures showing the showdown not activated after clearing all planets, and when you own all planets.

I have only achieved this on a 6/6 game, so I have no clue if this is possible higher up yet.

Top 5;

Doesn't the game stop with "You Win" after you kill both the AI core command posts?

And do you have to kill off every other planet before you achieve the normal victory conditions or can you do it after?  Because doing it after seems cheap, but doing it before means you've got like 2400 AIP...

I'd say "set off a Nuke Mk.III just before winning", but then you don't have the supply to build any more colony pods, do you?

The game "Ends" after you win, but the game is still playable.

achieve the normal victory however you see fit, you have to destroy all command stations before initiating the showdown though. If you want to blow em all up before you win, be my guest :P

and yeah, the MK 3 nuke might not be the best choice. You can still build command stations, but you won't have a metal supply to make all of them.

Does excising planets with Destroyer of Worlds invalidate the achievement?

If it's the homeworld, I say yes, otherwise, i think it's fair game

And no fleet.  You'd barely how power enough to build colony ships.
(I did the math once, you end up with like 54,000 energy total).
