Any ideas on how to deal with the Grox?
Timoram:
I made a real deal with the Grox... I didn't made a screenshot by myself, but I found a picture somewhere on the web. Take a look.
Note : you'll have to be Omnipotent. If you're not, Grox will hit you even if you become Omnipotent !
I didn't use an ambassy, 'cause the Grox always shoot on it before ally. I gived them a 500.000 § gift, and I destroyed 6 planets. I used so many fireworks, and I accept 5 missions.
When you ally with Grox, they give you a spaceship, the best UFO of the galaxy. Oh, and all relations score with all empires of the galaxy will be down to -200, and you'll receive a special badge, "Dance with the Devil".
To destroy the Grox, you'll have to terraform all their planets to T1 (they can't live if the T-Score of a planet isn't T0), use many many Planet Busters, or destroy their cities.
The Grox Empire have 600 to 1000 planets, but some players count 2400. Good luck ! You'll receive another special badge, "

I haven't actually met the Grox yet, but I am wondering if I should. If the 'normal' path to the galactic core involves fighting one's way through Grox space, and if the Grox can mount retaliatory attacks on your homeworlds halfway across the galaxy, and if the typical Grox attack is powerful enough to destroy the most heavily defended colony, and if you can't make peace with the Grox afterwards, and if all you get afterwards is a lousy staff with 42 charges, then what's the point? You'll be fighting off Grox attacks forever and you can't even 'sort of' ignore them like you can with pirates. It sounds like attempting to follow the game's tutorials (specifically the 'explore galactic core' one) condemns your race to eventual extinction at the hands of the Grox.
Don't declare war on them and then they'll leave you alone. Turn off your auto-firing weapons before heading to the center of the Galaxy and run in as fast as you can without stopping. Even when you're at war with them, they'll only attack your planets one at a time and provided you don't show up to defend the planet, they don't do much in the way of damage if you've got an uber turret - they might take out a Colony but you can just place another one and replace your regular turrets periodically. They seem to like destroying the spice storage for some reason.
