Neutral Empires

I think yes I have taken over neutral empires and forund that their ships cant pass warp points.

Unlike SEIV you cant add new full empires into a running game

it Might be posible to Mod the AI the neutral is using to allow it to exit the home system but I am not sure how to do that

Also, you might be able to create a new empire by making one of your planets riot.

You have to make them unhappy. Plenty ways to do that...

I went to look in Happiness.txt in my Balance Mod folder and it seems like hardly any of the negative effects are under your control unless you were to contrive to lose a lot of battles in the system. The only thing you could do is start a plague for -20% to happiness each one, but I don't think you can start a plague on your own planet.

Hmm...can't start a plague on your own planet!? That's outrageous! Oh well...I guess I'll have to just stick to spacing my less favorable populations...muahaha.

I know there is a way to give plantes back you have taken. I have haven't figured out how yet but if you could grant independence to a planet that would work

Being able to grant independence to planets would be great gameplay-wise, but I doubt the game engine would like it; what if a guy with 100 planets were to give them all independence and create 100 different empires?

Anything after the 20th empire was created would be dropped.
