ENDLESS™ Space 2 is turn-based 4X space-strategy that launches players into the space colonization age of different civilizations within the ENDLESS™ Universe. Your Vision. Their Future.
In fact, the population affinity of the Pauci is a consequence of their role as counselors and philosophers who try to make everyone around them more appeased and to create ideal societies without forcing people to obey them. Their seclusion is more linked to the fact that their lifestyle and organisms make them quite difficult to live with. In short : they are precious neighbor who lives their way but are eager to help others.
On a more gameplay-focused point of view, I though it would allow interesting mechanics to restric their population affinity bonus to the planet where they aren't present : it makes them less exploitable by other players through conquest and gives them this "tall but spread" playstyle that, I think, fits the most a diplomatic-centered faction.
Edit : I've modified their population affinity, so now they act as a nice counterpart to Cravers in their way to increase .
I also wanted to add that their proficiency is a good explanation of why they benefit other factions.
I like adding your inspriations and how you suppose the faction will play the game. I think a lot of ideas aren't focusing enough on that angle. I also REALLY like that you didn't actually give them a boost to diplomacy, but just encouraged them to be diplomats through other means. Organically making them prefer to be peaceful diplomats is a lot cooler than "bonus to peace and diplomacy". (It's actually funny, our ideas both include influcing other peoples elections, slow-growing population, and colony ships that don't take population from their home system, but they're still both radically different!)
One small comment I would add is that "secluded paragaon" doesn't really make me understand, from a flavor perspective, what's happening. I mean, if my neighbor is a really smart guy, but doesn't leave his house much, I don't randomly start finding dollar bills in my pocket, you know? I bet you could find a better way to make it clear how the Pauci are benefitting their system-mates.
