Some times you know you have to fold them.



I suggest we have new diplomatic state where a player can demand from another or request upon them self the subjugation from another player.



A subjugated player will be permanently aligned to the other player unless the dominating player allows the release of the subjugated player. The subjugated player mush share all technological advances with the dominating player, they must also share half of all of their net dust and science with the dominating player.



The players will now share their influence rings with the subjugated players influence being only shaded across the dominating players color background. Once a player is subjugated their remaining systems will go into full rebellion for a few turns as to prevent a quick assembly of two empires. However should the dominating player win, the subjugated player will too, however the Subjugated player cannot colonize new systems or win the game for himself.



Subjugated players cannot be released for a long time after it is declared, as to prevent players from using it as a means to an end and then dumping them all for a solo victory.





I for one, welcome our new alien overlords!

Been suggested before, but not in such detail.

Then I am glad I could contribute!

As long as some incentive for continued play is provided to the subjugated player (as you suggested, either a chance to break free and/or joint victory), this is a good idea.
