What are the weakest builds you can think of? Give me a "challenge" for Grand Admiral.

Discussion

I've beaten GA no scaling with every conceivable decent build I could think of. Now it's time to start trying to beat it with some intentionally weak builds...

The only build I won't entertain is inward perfection, or perhaps any combination of pacifist/xenophobe, since I simply don't see any possible path toward victory with both war and diplomacy off the table.

So what do you think are the weakest traits/civics/origins to combine into a generally terrible race? Do your worst!

If you want literally unplayable, go ovetuned and pick the traits lowering your lifespan the most

Make a build focused on making every planet a Gaia world. So diplomacy and world building perks

Organic-reprocessor void-dvellers lithoid for starters. Second civic, not quite sure, something useless for that build, ascensionists? Not good, not terrible. Slow breeders, fleeting, weak, also ones that increase housing usage and lower amenities production.

Fanatic xenophobe and egalitarian.

And oligarchy government.

Seems pretty bad, but mostly due to organic reprocessors + lithoid, stupid mix.
