Changing Ethics (through embracing)

[Luziferjones]

Hey :)

I just have a quick question about changing ethics through embracing factions... I started as fanatic militarist and spirutualist... But due to how the game turned out I want to switch my ethics.. I already embraced my spiritualists..so now I'm fantatic spritualist and militarist...

I also have a xenophile faction.. If I embrace those now... How ill my ethics change? Will the basics militarist change to basic xenophile or will I become fanatic xenophile and basic spiritualist?

I didn't do that yet but you can just save-scum and try it out ^^ If you play Ironman just wait til it saved, do it and see if it works in your favor :D

I'm almost sure when you embrace a faction if you don't have an opposite ethic it will reduce whichever ethic is fanatic, and if you don't have a fanatic then it will remove whichever ethic has the lowest faction support. And I'm almost sure I remember confirming that in one of my games. Sorry I can't be definitive I'll try to find where I read that before.

If you are fanatic spiritualist and militarist then:
Embracing Xenophile won't give fanatic Xenophile yet.
You will lose the fanatic spiritualist and be three basic ethics. Spiritualist, militarist and Xenophile

If you wait the cool down then embrace Xenophile again later then you will become fanatic Xenophile and lose either spiritualist or militarist, whichever has lower faction support.

That would make sense... I guess I'll have to try it out ^^ thanks for the answers

Let me know how it works out. Again I'm 95% sure about my answer so if it's wrong tell me.
