Lost colony

[Dietrich]

Can I unite with my second empire when I chose the origin * lost colony *?

*** I'm sorry for my bad English ***

[Mansen]

Not peacefully, no.

So I can only unite through war?

Yeah, I'm curious about this, too. What is all the glamour of playing the lost colony? I haven't tried it yet. I don't get what's supposed to be the cool-factor about it?

Roleplay reasons - Players have been asking for an origin like this since release, with how there are two human Earth empires.

But does the empire you are lost from function just like all the other Fallen Empires? Like, is there no other way to interact with them diplomatically other than accept or deny their request when they happen to offer one? I'm thinking I should just start a game and try it, now as I'm typing... Even though there's no cool factor. :(

Isn't this origin meant to be played if you're like a fanatic purifier?

[MissedHurry]

Well, an hour into the new game, I see that they are not a F.E., just a more powerful empire that you run into eventually. Seems like you can do all the same diplomatic interactions you can do with other empires.

Potentially. If you were to do that then it would mean that there were some pops out there that you could integrate into your empire, instead of having to purge. In the right circumstances, that could be a big boost to your strength.

Well, actually, it seems like you could potentially form a migration treaty with them, so in that sense, if some of them move into your colonies, that's a form of uniting. Maybe there's a scenario where you can become more powerful than them and make them a vassal, I don't know. That would be kind of weird, huh? Very space-opera-ey.

Haven't checked yet, but wouldn't it be possible to have diplomatic relations with them as well?

I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure.

You could become their vassal willingly, and after some time they'll annex you.
Game over for you, but you did rejoin your original empire ^^

Or you could just become far more powerful and hope they're willing to become your protectorate.

so in my first game AI empire had origin * lost colony * and my empire i played by Earth was same species so they was my lost colony and was cool i form federation with them on the end

[OuchThatHurt]

Yeah when i did this origin the humans spawned by it were a hive mind but the same population as my non hive mind peoples I formed a federation with them and we went on a killing spree but i could have taken their planets and intergrated their pops i guess
