    In Stellaris the Prethoryn Scourge is one of 3 endgame crisis that can naturally occur, they get free fleets and stuff and are really strong. Once they appear a galactic community proposal comes up to ally against the scourge, also 2 out of the 4 types of fallen empires have the ability to awaken when a crisis appears and fight it.

    Russia and Poland-Lithuania working together against a hostile invader was the biggest twist of this campaign.

    About the Stellaris bit, I was surprised to see they actually beat the Scourge. I guess because he is only using a few premade starting empires (excluding Fallen and Marauders) in a medium+ galaxy, they have more space for themselves and thus are stronger individually to be able to face it. Were they like 20+ nations on the map they'd all be ran over by the Scourge with no effort on their part.

The 3rd war however went to Pols. They lost in the sea 4 the first time,but they were able to capture majority of the province of Schlesien. So give credit to saxony,they won the first 2 wrorld wars
