Conversion like Necromonger style?

[Folio_Nov9m]

Hey guys! Do you remember The Riddick Universe?
There are brutal spiritual race of Necromongers, which dont use henocyde, but converse a planets. Any ideas how to reproduce this procedure in Stellaris? I see a assimilation of gestalt consciousness, but maybe its possible without gestalt consciousness?

Many thanks in advance!

spiritualist empire seems the way to go, and then use their conversion superweapon to make everybody spiritualist too. they didn't literally assimilate afterall just convert everybody to their religion.

if you want more literal assimilation machine or synthetic empires can do that but that doesn't strike me as fitting the RP of necromongers.

Do you mean a Colossus Weapon? As I understand this is endgame technology.
But thanks, I think about spiritualist empire too

yeah its colossus and its fairly late game.

but you can still convert people the normal way before you get it, it just takes a bit more time and effort. bunch of tech to help you along the way with that.

and ofcourse if you take psionic ascension you can assimilate people into psionics a bit earlier, which also gives a lot of spiritualist attraction.

I'm newbie in Stellaris, could you clarify me please about 'convert people the normal way'? I didnt play for spiritual empire yet

certain things you do in game make the people more likely to become of a certain ethics. for example if you build a temple, it has a little note on it that says "increases spiritualist attraction".

in the factions window you can see what is influencing these things in your empire if you mouse-over the ethic icons on top.

so if you do a lot of things that help attract government ethics and/or the ethics you want to have, they will change to that over time.

you can see a list here if you expand the "pop weights" sections. https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Ethics
(though if you are new it might be more fun to not read up all the details)
