Here's my thoughts...

May 1, 2005 8:15:47 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
ok, now i know everyones not looking for ideas, but i thought i'd better get it out there before i forgot. I'll probably post something similar to this later when the "ideas" come into play. But i just wanted to say that i don't understand why my people would ever want to give up there freedom to become part of another civilization, especially if we're at war with that civilization. I can see maybe that there influence from their products, such as clothes and food. From all that i could see a drop in profits from our own products (so net income might drop). However, i don't think a civilization would just say," i give up my human freedom to become a torian". It just doesn't seem correct to me. I haven't been here a while, so if there has been this discussion somewhere in the boards i sincerely apologize. thank you all

Actually, I think the cultural defection is more metaphoric. It is the cultures and ideas that they switch to, hence, it is the other race's economy and culture that gains, until the loosing race's economy and culture dwindle to nothing.

Actually I believe this has happened quite often (not that I'm going to study it). Three examples in American history come to mind, Hawaii and Texas statehood, both due to American emigrants coming back to America. Then, West Virgina, didn't want to join the Confederacy so they broke away from Virgina and came back to the Union.
Again I haven't sat down and studied history for a long time.
In GalCiv I population was very abstracted. When a switch occurs I'm sure there is a good deal of another civ's population living there. That's how I always thought of it.

Interesting, Mo. But in the United Planets 6th proposal, it proclaimed that almost no civ's actually saw eachother face to face. (ie Galactic Olympics)
