Hi everyone


I've had the idea of minor factions mattering a bit more than just regular and that the technology tree might get boring being constantly the same. What if when you assimilated a minor faction you'd get their unique technology to research that gives a different boost or a unique ship/building and so on yeah, the idea might be fun because you add a mixed flavor to the game especially in technology tree.

Then i thought well lets make it more fun, what if you could combine all the military factions and that would chain link a technology that would unlock a  unique  technology (Super ship destoryer or stealth ship [cannot be seen or noticed on the map while traveling] etc) , or lets say you've assimilated the production minories factions you get a unique building or trait "the endless workforce migration" which boosts production in persentage or stats or lets go crazy you can use products to boost food/science/influence in a unique way since you have a skilled force labour.

You can pretty much make twisted things as you like since you have N-number of minor factions combined them by 2 pairs or 3 pairs (which 3 would be the special ones ) or 4-5 a very super rare tech. Players or AI would sometimes go different paths just to deny a specific technology to another civilization making the game or interesting as you have to be aware of what other people are doing in their diplomatic situation.
That's about it, hope you like my idea and let me know if I can rewrite it to make the idea Optimal/possible to implement and more interesting that would catch enough peoples eyebrow to make it possible :)


Have a wonderful day !!!
