Don't get me wrong on this one; I think the minor factions are great. I'm just curious on the level of depth for customization of minor factions in this game. Can we remove them completely? Can we exempt certain ones? Will there perhaps be custom minor factions? Thanks in advance for any information on this subject.

Wondering too if you can ever assimilate more than one at a time? Anyone know? Seems weird that you can't (or at least i can't seem to).

The GDDs stated that you would be able to assimilate up to three minor factions (see here). At present you can get at least two--there's a tech in Tier III called "Native District" that allows you to assimilate an additional minor faction. Caveat: I have never researched this tech to see if it actually works correctly.

You can. You need to research a tech that will open a new slot for assimilating another minor faction.

The bonuses from city state allies are sort of extreme right now. I hope they don't go too far with them.

A lot of them are just +5% bonus to whichever relevant FIDS resource plus a mirrored collateral benefit for the city where the minor faction tribe is located. All major factions have access to minor factions, so I don't see how it represents a real imbalance problem. I'm more concerned about them being balanced amongst each other. It would be sad if one minor faction were used largely to the exclusion of others. So far, I've found them rather enjoyable and they make region settlement choice more meaningful.

I agree.

Minor faction is a nice system, you have to choice regions not only for strategic ressources, but for bonus and units given by the minor factions.

Choosing minor faction before start would be like banishing neutral town (don't remind the real name) in CIV 5. Players would always ban the same (too agressiv, too weak etc).
