Population Management Screen

I actually like the idea very much. But I'd like also to add different actions you can use on different populations.

Every minor population in you empire has another view of things right? Some options to change their mind and their "lifestyle" would be great.

For example:

Hisshos are militaristic oriented. But maybe you just need this one law the indutrialists have, and you need great support for it. Why can't you now somehow change their minds - in a nice, or in a brutal way. These actions could surely cause some effetcs on the empire, if you do it with no harm and slowly, you will get no negative effetcs but if you litarally oppress them with (which is faster) this will somehow affect something.

Another thing:
Ban whole minor factions or do a genocide. This would be especially useful if you have some cravers among your people (They will just eat all your planets, not nice if you do not play cravers themselves).

With these options you could bring in more active minor civilisations, who can cause more if you mistreat them or if they don't like your ideology. You would have some cards you could play against them in this way (So just to "assimilate" them wouldn't be enough, you have to keep their acceptance).

Maybe these elements are planned in a future release, maybe not. But I guess this would bring more depth into the whole minor civilisations system.

I guess I will make a different post :)

There would definitely have to be some negative side-effects to doing something that drastic, but really... assimilating craver planets is a good reason why a population management screen would be useful. The craver assimilation could also be countered by events - something that negates their consumption aspect but limits their FIDS production. But either way, having a management screen to see this data would help.

Yeah, I'm curious how much of this is planned already.  It seems like all the elements are in place already, the player just doesn't have control over them yet. It might be worth waiting until "Update 2" to see what they have in store :)
