No World Destroyers...Random or not?

Post by HeresiarchQin »

So I've a game going on, in which me and my allies are getting decimated by the Shakturi. I have no hope winning by fighting normally, so I wanted to blow up their home base and call it a day...then I realized on my current game there's no world destroyer, no war test field, no ship graveyard, etc.

I wanted to check what conditions I've set for the game, but apparently there's no such function in DW. I *guess* that I've chosen Age of Shadows Classic, as pirates are absolutely running rampant. But Age of Shadows is supposed to have no Shakturi story elements in it...

So what's the actual switch for making world destroyers and other claimable ships appear? I don't mind trying to fight Shakturis in future games without world destroyers but I feel it's weird that they don't exist in my game (btw, the Shakturis themself do have world destroyers and have destroyed two planets of mine).

Having the original storyline enabled will enable world destroyer wrecks to spawn. However, the AI will also attempt to salvage these wrecks, but most of the time it gets killed while under construction by sabotage.

It's also possible on small or tiny maps for no world destroyer projects to spawn even when you do have the storyline enabled. I don't know how likely or unlikely it is, but it can happen.
