Blocked empires have been updated.
It used to be that blocked empires were protected, and for sufficiently severe violations they were outright deleted.
Now, neither happens. Instead, they behave similar to the Inactive Handling Updates.
Specifically:
- All defenses stand down for intrafam attacks. Planets can be taken with 1 transport and 2 ground as if the defender fleet didn’t exist.
- All infrastructure is preserved for intrafam takeovers, regardless of Networth difference.
- When the empire’s last planet is removed, the attacker receives all resources from the target empire prior to its removal from the family.
Other families will not be able to tell that the empire is blocked, and to them the blocked empire will defend as normal.
