Play your diplomatic game right, and you'll just be able to sit back for the ten turn countdown until you win without anyone coming after you. While launching the doomsday project will instantly cause war with everyone not in some kind of pact with you, anyone who IS in a pact with you will be inexplicably on-board with having the atmosphere set on fire, or being subjected to mind-melting psychic waves of evil, immediately forming alliances with you. Complacent Gaming Syndrome: The Doomsday Victory is one of the easiest paths to take: not only does pursuing it give out some of the best Doctrines in the game, but its defensive-leaning strategy of turtling your guys near your cities and doomsday machines is much more straightforward than constantly trying to conquer with huge, energy-sapping armies or the annoyingly tricky path to a Diplomatic victory.The third expansion, Star Kings, gives us the track From Within the Void, a quieter, more atmospheric yet equally catchy combat track that sharply contrasts with most of the other, more bombastic, combat themes, providing a more foreboding and tension-filled vibe that goes surprisingly well with large battles. The other combat theme from Invasions, Element of Surprise, is also pretty catchy, but never seems to play during normal gameplay, either it has been Dummied Out and only exists in the game files, or only plays during a specific event in the Invasions campaign. While Invasions' main combat theme, Carnage Abyss sounds worthy of its name and can give off a strong sense of urgency, desperation or ferocity depending on your situation in a fight. The expansions add some new music of their own, the main menu theme of Invasions arguably stands out among the other menu themes, and fits the insidious nature of the Shakarn.Mechanized Assault is also pretty epic and can really capture the feeling of a massive invasion if it plays at the start of massive 3v3 stack battles. Wave of Hostility, is a fantastic, high-intensity electronic tune perfect for huge colony fights, whether you're trying to punch through the opponent's defenses and claim their colony for your own, or on the defensive side and trying to hold of waves of enemy troops trying to take what isn't theirs. Some of the combat soundtracks stand out, however. Awesome Music: The overworld soundtrack can be a little forgettable, but still atmospheric.
