What about necrophage in ES2? Those are my ideas (for now) for the necrophage, feel free to add to it by writing comments.

(p.s : sorry if there is some gramatical errors, english is my second language)

Politic : industrialist / miltary

Closed mind: The Necrophage can't research eny technology, instead they steal them from the planets they conquer. The buildings that gives Science give them 75% of the science it produce in Industrial ressource and the buildings that gives Dust give them instead 25% of the value in Industrial ressource. The research tree is replace with a mutation system using industrial ressource and rare materials.

Invasion: The Necrophage don't own ships, instead they can invade ships that are dock in their planets and they can send Hives Pack into space. Those Hives Pack can create an Hive on a planet if the Hive Pack touch them. It work like drones. Those hive cost Man Power and Industrial ressource. The more you send on a planet the faster it will be to invade it.

It's all i have for now, this post was originaly for Idea panel but it's close atm

Why? :(

why?

We don't have any plans for more major additions to ES2 at the moment, and a major faction definitely falls in the category of major additions.

At least you can meet Necrophages as minor faction in community members CaptainCobbs mod called Endless Legend Population (available in Steam workshop).

the reason behind the fact that they aren't making any new major faction is because of Humankind i think. Also thanks i didn't knew this mod

I hope for a curiosity on Auriga to spawn Necrophage exiled minor population - survivors from the hatchery. That would literally be the only way to get them.

Should we petition for more plants? :-D

They may not want to officially add the Necrophages to the game, but mod makers may be interested?

I don't think what Danalieth suggest is possible with the modding system unless get really creative, but if you make something pretty similar to how they were in Endless Legend it's fairly possible. There'd be some jankery with the ships, faction leader, and heroes though.

I'd be more curious about the mykara ... but maybe you could find a modder to work with. I seem to remember myself and other fans of EL have theory crafted a few species over the years. I still like the idea of an Auriga faction ... basically a collective of all the races. Each time your population grows you could get a different population type. I think I suggested necrophages shouldn't be one of the rolls but now that I re-imagine it I don't see why it couldn't. I don't know if that conversation went anywhere though.
