Isolationist suggestion

Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2015

I have been creating quite a few custom races for the AI. Something dawned on me...we have the obvious "Expansionist" option. This makes sense. We certainly want AI Factions that come for us, lol. However, virtually every type of sci-fi centered around space civilizations includes those races that don't want contact. Why is there no "Isolationist" choice. I'd love to come across a faction that is just as advanced as mine, or more or less so, who don't want to join the interstellar community. This would pose a great situation. What to do, go around them, go through them, etc? This would add a nice strategic decision.

Another option: by giving them weak traits, along with "Isolationist," we could creating pseudo-minors.

Anyone have any thoughts? Any chance the developers might run with this?

Thanks for reading.
