So my 100k+ fleet of 50 capitals and 200 cruisers managed to take Utopia. A glorious day for the Hive! Unfortunately, no happy ending - no fancy cutscene, no boring credits list, nothing - the game just went on.

How do I trigger the evil insect victory?

And yes, this was AFTER the Mechanoids had presented the oh-so-surprising fact that they're actually Shakturi.

This will be a stupid question but when you set up the game you checked the victory conditions no? This is not a sandbox.
If so, once you met any of those conditions you'd get the victory screen. Btw, what conditions did you choose?

Probably my own fault for starting a new game after each beta patch, but I've never got to the point of the Shakturi actually returning or being able/wanting to take on the mechanoids, so I don't appreciate people dropping spoliers in for no purpose.

Data: Yes, victory conditions are enabled. 50/50/50%.

Howard: Perhaps you shouldn't open a thread with a title such as this one if you're worried about spoilers.

Howard don't carry on reading this thread but the statement "AFTER the Mechanoids had presented the oh-so-surprising fact that they're actually Shakturi" isn't even true so don't consider anything to be spoiled.

Yeah, I fortunately didn't explain that too well - I'm sure those of you familiar with the storyline can tell whom I referred to. The Guardians are obviously not the Shakturi.

So, spoiler complaints aside, has anybody managed to side with the Shakturi and win the game that way?

I haven't got there yet, taking my time and having other things to do.
Just to make sure no one else is affected, a spoiler warning in the thread title should solve this nicely.

On my coming Boskara AAR we may see this happening. Oh, we may see... *evil snicker*

An evil victory?

Build one or more world destroyers. Squash all alien bugs, IE make sure that they are wiped out to the last cockroach, then...claim victory when the human race is the only surviving species in the galaxy.

That probably fits your definition of an evil victory.
