Yeah, maybe its a bug or an Alpha placeholder. 

Besides, if they all start in Terran worlds, why many of them are in major faction homeworlds with a different biome? Makes no sense to me.


BTW having all minor factions tied to different biomes, could help factions that are not so "purists" in their approach, to expand faster by putting such faction pops in colony ships and grab planets they don't have the tech for yet.

That's what I thought. The Hissho used to start on a Tropical world, now they start on a Terran one, it makes no sense to just randomly change it.

Also with this patch all the Minor Factions start on Terran worlds, which IMHO take a lot of flavor out of the game and makes no sense for some of them, lorewise.

I hope this gets changed back in a future update.

Maybe it's even a bug? I mean, Deuyivans should start on gas planets, no? http://wiki.endless-space.com/minor-factions/deuyivans

Weren't Vaulters datamined as a Minor Faction after the recent patch, along with every other ES1 faction left?

There is one file that contains strings like "AffinityVaulter". This is some kind of configuration for GalaxyGenerator and only contains ES1 factions and none of the new ES2 ones. The GalaxyGeneratorPlugin.dll in that directory is the exact same as in ES1. So they probably use the same Galaxy Generator for both games and simply copied it from ES1 with minimal changes to the configuration. I don't think this means anything on what will be in ES2.


With the United Empire update Amplitude decided to delete the xml files for unreleased factions, but they missed the solution file, or more likely accidentally included it :) We can see the names of the (deleted) xml files in XmlEdition.sln:


        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Cravers].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Cravers].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Horatio].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Horatio].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[MinorFactions].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[MinorFactions].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Sophons].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Sophons].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Terrans].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Terrans].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Vampirilis].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Vampirilis].xml
        Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Venetians].xml = Simulation\Battles\HullDefinitions[Venetians].xml


There are 3 lines for Horatio and only one for TimeLords. So my guess is that Horatio will be the next major faction. The solution does not contain some files that were there in the previous version for TimeLords. This could mean that they are cutting the TimeLords or simply work on them on a separate branch.

I try to get something from what I know about Vaulter/Mezari/UE


As I know, the people who play in DOTE are Mezari From Mezar who crash for some reason into Auriga. They succeed to escape the "dungeon" and try to leave underground and Became the Vaulter.


From what I know about Playable Mezari in Endless Legend, that just a reskin for the backer and a Hint about the origin of the vaulter but I don't think they're canon in Auriga, they're just a Reskin or at least a "If possible" 


Also we can imagine Mezar empire die slowly when Auriga was discovered and an other true colonization ship are send to find a new home and find Raian 


So we got two kind of human from one source, if I thinks Vaulter could be on the game ? Yes, As a minor faction or as a different faction than what we got on Endless Legend.


I thinks that because if we take a look on the wiki, Vodyani almost destroy Zolya clan, the clan we play in Endless Legend and who escape from Auriga 


But in counterpart, we know by Endless Space one Vaulter success to survive when they're almost destroy.


So in my opinion, I think we got vaulter as a Minor Faction  (maybe a Special minor Faction) or as a DLC Faction but not from the main faction (Even if that could be a great surprise for a vaulter fan :D)

But I think we got vaulter, Opbot is confirmed maybe as a leader faction or something 


PS: That made me think, that could be fun to find Mezar in  the Universe and settled this planet again

Mezar is the birthplace of Humans,heh.Really the vaulters are bland and small scale and the mezari sound dull and were most likely wiped out ,hence no sign of them in ES1.


I would not like more  human factions when we can have so many options for interesting aliens...UE and the Pilgrims are enough.

I think that it made a lot of chaos in Endless universe's lore. For example, the Mezari description in EL suggests that they appeared on Auriga rather recently, while Vaulters exist from a long time. And the ship from DotE: to whom it belonged? And, the most important, if the main planet of UE is only the Mezari colony, where is the birthplace of humanity?
