Talk:Empire

One thing I've noticed is that the Empire will always be hostile towards Nudist Tribes. I checked the game files, and it seems that this is due to Nudist Tribes not being whitelisted as non-hostile to the Empire, so I think this is an oversight, but I remember this being a thing in 1.4, too, so I'm not sure.

My understanding was that the Empire defaults to hostile against all non-player factions to ensure the troop permits are useful. That might be outdated however.

Not quite, the Empire is neutral towards the Civil Outlanders, the Gentle Tribe, and the Space Guild or whatever they're called - just like every other faction that starts the game off neutral. This is the only instance in the game of two factions that start off neutral towards the player being hostile to each other, so it comes across as particularly odd.

Hey, apparently Empire characters can't be sanguophages but the Stellarch from the last game I played was one.

I do not use any mods

We split faction pages off into their own pages in imitation of this page.

There aren't distinct pages for tribals, outlanders etc. but also the Empire has unique mechanics that might bloat those pages. If this does warrant its own page, should the table (see Raiders for an example) for Troopers, Jannisaries, and Cataphracts be here or on the Raiders page? Civil Outlanders sets precendent for possibly peaceful pawn types being there as well.

Keep it as a separate page for now, since there is indeed quite a lot of new content and mechanics. The table for imperial troops can however be placed in the Raiders page, under a nwe section for the Royalty DLC.

there could be a merged topic for all the separate types of NPC Factions with seperate headers for the different faction types? Just have the redirects all point to it?
