I believe that when a friendly empire (same family) takes over a planet from another friendly empire (still same family) that they should not act like genocidal bastards and murder 99% of the population. Instead, the leadership structure simply gets replaced by the new owners and the population continues to exist!
Stop the genocide! Protect the poor!
I do agree - but then again, it can’t always be true.
My brother might well be viewed from the outside as ‘friendly’, but from my perspective, he’s a murderous b*stard.
You’d have to also change some income formula stuff to make pop bankers worse because there would not be a single CF banker left in the game if this change happened! Research building pop bankers and preserving pop is a combo that would be absolutely insane.
Despite any other implications it might have in the gameplay, this idea does make sense when looking at it from a real-world perspective.
