The fact that authoritarians cannot purge (i.e. quickly kill off) pops is somewhat dissapointing.

I know they can displace pops, but wouldn't an all powerful leader who has full control over the government WANT to selectively kill off disruptive pops? I do miss the old mechanics where you were simply able to selectively purge certain pops. It makes sense you would be able to do that, especially if you play an authoritarian empire. Does anyone else agree with me here?

In all honesty, I think that the only ethos which should not be able to purge is pacifist and to an extent xenophile. Any others should have free reign over how they purge.

Egalitarians should not be allowed to purge atleast their own kind, they can of course purge xenos if they are xenophobic as well. Purging just goes against everything Egalitarian stands for here.

People replied to this post I made. Sorry, I forgot to include Egalitarian as a faction that would be dissalowed to purge. Anyone else should that I didn't state should be allowed to purge.

Please explain one good reason why.

"I can't be bothered with managing my empire and just want to kill off any problematic pops instead" is not a good reason.

So... purging is only okay or not okay with the ethos you say it is. Why bother then? Why bother having government ethos, government traits, or any sense of differing societies at all if you're just going to change things the moment the management style becomes inconvenient? Why play a game with rules, and systems, if you don't want to play by those rules and systems? It's llike if I were playing checkers, and I decided I didn't want peices to move diagnol anymore so I'll just move them sideways from now on. Wouldn't be checkers anymore would it?
