[Lucanos]

Even though the idea needs to be somewhat polished, I must say I like the discussion because I think the developers DO listen to its customers (you). In fact I KNOW they do, especially if the idea could be developed the way I belive this one could be developed in.

But I think the problem is the NEUTRALS. I mean, why NEUTRALS in the first place? Maybe ALL empires should be NEUTRALS, until they discover required technologies which will enable them to travel through wormholes/warppoints?

Which makes me wonder about "warpdrive" - why is there no warpdrive? (EXCUSE ME if there really is a warpdrive feature in the game I didn't know of) With warpdrive I mean the abillity to travel between solarsystems WITHOUT wormholes - which would require several turns.

Where was I?

When softly applying "Puppet Political Parties" on your enemy's private parts they should form a new EMPIRE (Instead of a NEUTRAL empire).

ESPECIALLY! - if you have chosen "No Random Neutral Empires" in the gamesetup.

That would be so much fun if it happened!

AND,
when initiating more Puppets there should also be a greater chance for them to join that new glorious empire YOU created the Last time your intelligence agents visited your hated enemy.

And this (these) new empire(s) should be your new PARTNERS (treaty) - at least a couple of turns... (please?)

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
