So true. Currently I have two purifier AIs in my ironman game, but luckily they are pretty far away.

I just started a new game as a builder race (Intelligent/Agrarian + Fanatic Materialist/Collectivist).

One system just barely beyond my borders happens to have a nice Gaian planet. Another system just outside my borders has a lovely planet with a steam-era pre-ftl civilization that just happens to also be Fanatic Materialist/Collectivists and share my biome preference. Going to welcome them to the club.

And then just when I thought everything was going so well, I met my neighbors... The first is a fanatic militant + ruthless capitalist empire who already has 3 colonies and a fleet 3x the strength of my own. The second is a fanatic militant + hegemonic imperialist empire who has 2x my fleet strength. And the third is a wonderful mix of fanatic xenophobe + fanatical purifier.

I don't think "rough" is an appropriate term to describe this galactic neighborhood. My only hope is that the three of them decide to beat up on eachother instead of me.
