I notice you just land with a colony ship and the planet with 500 million aliens seem to be very happy to be in your empire.
Is this concept going to be developed more.Will they defend using armies,can you use politics to incorporate them into your empire peacefully.Will they add unique benefits to your empire.
It seems a waste of good art and backstory to be nothing but free population.
Minor races.

Re: Minor races.
Some of the minor races (specifically the Gaiads) are slated to have special encounters associated with them. And as Arioch mentions, most will eventually have special economic impacts of one sort or another. In fact, most minor races do currently have unusual economic production numbers, which you can view by clicking on their art in the population pane of a colonized world.Ashbery76 wrote:Is this concept going to be developed more.Will they defend using armies,can you use politics to incorporate them into your empire peacefully.Will they add unique benefits to your empire.
Re: Minor races.
On a somewhat related note, will we be seeing improvements to how we can interact with independent colonies of major races? In my most recent game I came across two independent colonies of my own race and I found it frustrating that I had to either bombard or invade them to allow for colonization when I should have be able to either just land a colony ship and absorb the natives or do a little diplomacy with them to get them to join my empire willingly.

Re: Minor races.
Yes -- there will definitely be more interaction possible here. Arioch's actually already written a lot of the dialog trees that you should be seeing during these sorts of encounters. I just need to get them plugged in.echo2361 wrote:On a somewhat related note, will we be seeing improvements to how we can interact with independent colonies of major races?
