Question on Base Defence - or - what provokes whom

[Swedebeast]

DOOM possessed and demons don't wait for a provocation; they attack and raid everyone and everything, including player owned hideouts. They're one of the few crackdowns that just happen like that.

Most crackdowns aren't done be infernal monsters and therefore have rational cause. Without simply listing everything from the .rul file, alien/human soldiers will try to invade your hideouts if you intercept their shipping, or become famous with world wide notoriety (a combination of researching some key technologies and achieving the higher Captain ranks).

If that specific group has no trigger, then that is good to know. I had a hunch that the warning texts from certain technologies that do warn you will gain notoriety weren't for show, and so in my earlier game I avoided such tech because I was cautious I was advancing too fast. Thanks for the explanation!

i usually got dark ones crackdown after doin "doomed farm" mission. I think it is the only mission that is for them as main enemies, along with some of "UAC Vaults" ones and "hot pursuit"
