Slaves do not Vote!

In additon, Cravers need a way to use influence to keep the slaves in row. Made a similar post to OP on the steam forums, the slave driver thing needs some adjustment, fully agree. Cravers also need some tools for breeding control - while we are at it. Those slaves are just cattle, hand me a prod @Amplitude!

What I came to notice just now is how weak the Craver Faction compared to all other Factions are at this state of the Game.

Why should a Faction of Slave Driving, Destruction, and Devouring, that has a similar hierachy as an Ant colony, has a "Senate"? Their own Introduction says it "They have one Purpose! To Destroy Planets!" So why in the world do I have to make sure my people are happy? I just got annihilated by Sophons because I constantly had to keep the rising Rebellions under control. (Thanks to the Slave Driving Penalty and the x3 Penalty from Dictatorship on Representatives not in Senate)

The Cravers need a major adjustment. Because the way they are supposed to be conflicts with the game mechanics. And since they lost their Start Tech to build War ships from the beginning they are basicly on par with every other Faction. But unlike the, as example, Horatios which don't need any Happynes Buildings to get on constant Ecstatic the Cravers need all Happines Buildings +  be at war with all Major Factions from the beginning just to stay at Content.

When you don't rush the Enemys at the first 50 turns of the match you basicly slow down in progress and aren't really a threat anymore.

I may make another "Idea" on G2G concerning this and it would be nice if we can talk about it in the Comment section.

I do hope Amplitude changes the Game Mechanics for the Cravers. You can't create a Pure War Faction and give them a Senate with Pacifists.

I don't think salves get representatives.

Problem is that it is unclear how the number of representatives is created but those showed should be all Craver so if slave population increases that number in any way then that needs to be fixed.

Keep in mind that Craver doesn't always equal Militarist.

That representation you have means:

  Craver Industrialists

  Craver Ecologists

  Craver Pacifist (as stange as that sounds)

   and so on....

So part of your Industrial Cravel population (and others) is unhappy that they are not represented.

You population is not fixed on one political part.

It will change based on what is happening and your actions.

Trust me. I played long and looked VERY closely. I had a System with just 4 or 5 Craver Pops and 10+ Haroshems. I played the game very economicly to increase the Devoruing Number as much as possible which means I had only 3-5 Cravers on each system. Most of the time.

Slaves are representatives in this game at the moment. It HAS to be removed/fixed.

Exactly The same system can be used by any other Race when we are able to Edit the Factions at full release. also your idea is interesting. 

If you have more Non craver Populations than Cravers on a Planet/System the Chance of Rebellion rises. If you have a Planet with only Non Craver Pops than they start to build Reaver ships on their own.

Craver Pops can be used as a dumper at that moment. Reducing the Chances of Rebellion and make your Empire safe again. Also some of the Side Quests which can change Politic Ideologys need some Attention for Slave Driving Factions.
