Cheap way to AVOID the dreadlords.... (precursors)

easy i found to avoid being killed by them... i got crushed the first time, second time, when they hint on who is looking for the orb, just use espionage on the civilization looking for it,(i put it halfway, its quicker) and when u get to advanced, keep it there... when they DO find it, your operatives will stp them :)

Evacuate and destroy the colony.

Doesn't work!

I destroyed the colony last night and then built a new colony a few turns later. It was still taken over! Luckily as it was brand new it had a tiny population and no industry so couldn't build ships quickly. I had a transport and avatar there within a few turns.

don't come back until you have a transport or two nearby. Note: The dreadlord event doesn't trigger while someone else owns the colony, just while you do, from what I've seen.

Oops, should have been more specific, if you abandon and destroy the colony, the rest of the system will still be yours. However, as long as you don't have a colony on that planet, you're fine. Had a game where I had that happen in the middle of a war, with the only planet I had left in the primary sector of the war. I pulled out and the Torians settled that planet, and nothing happened until it culturally flipped back to me after the war ended. By that time I had secured the sector, so had transports waiting for the event.
