Minor Factions

Category page
Sign in to edit

Minor Factions are independent empires with limited power. They cannot make colonies nor declare war, however, they can be wooed over and assimilated for essentially a free partially developed system containing the minor faction's main population, along with a powerful assimilation bonus that gets added as one of your empire's faction traits.

By improving your relations with another minor faction, you can rise to higher diplomatic levels that provide access to more options and bonuses.

  • If your relations are “Cordial” and, compared to others, you have the best relation with this minor faction, you will become the faction's Suzerain and get access to a special action or effect.
  • If your relations are “Friendly” the minor civilization can propose a quest, allowing you (if it is completed successfully) to assimilate them into your empire.
  • At over 100 points of relation, and if you are the Suzerain of the Minor Faction, the “Assimilate” action will replace the “Praise” action, and you can assimilate them directly if you have sufficient Influence.

Every minor faction falls into 3 categories: Temperate, Pragmatic and Warmonger

  • Temperate: Produces more Dust Dust.
  • Pragmatic: Produces more Science Science.
  • Warmonger: Produces more Manpower Manpower.

There are three ways to assimilate a minor civilization: Peacefully, militarily or by completing the aforementioned quest. In all cases the outcome will be more or less the same, though the choice will have an effect on the politics of your population and your empire.

Once they are assimilated, you will obtain their system as part of your empire and their assimilation trait will be added to your empire traits.[1]

Each minor faction is assigned only one of two available assimilation traits, at the start of the game—they're picked randomly, but we list the random weights here on the wiki. Some of them are a relatively even chance, but others make it so that one of the two traits will rarely be seen. Also note that if multiple instances of a minor faction are present on the map, they will always have the same assimilation trait; however, multiple instances of a given assimilation trait do stack, so there's usually full value in assimilating multiple copies of a faction.
