Why can't you assimilate multiple minor factions?

[Hstio]

It seems strange that you can only assimilate a single minor faction. When you click on an already assimilated faction it says it cost 170 influence to assimilate a different faction and you lose the benefits of the first faction. There's no reason to apy 170 influence. Just cancel the existing assimilation and then you get the option to assimilate a new faction for 30 influence. Something seems wrong here.

in Era 4 there is a tech called Native District that allows you to assimulate a second faction, also according to the Devs you will be able to assimulate 3 of the minor factions, the cost for each will likely increase for each faction you try to assimulate. But if it cost 30 influence to assimulate a faction in a way it should cost something to dismiss them.

Indeed, I like the fact that you have to choose who you assimulate as opposed to simply taking in every single faction that you find.. makes it more tactical I think :)

Also, the Cultists can research to assimilate a 2nd in Era II.

Jun 15.! Why did you unbury this one ? D:

It's about specializing, sort of like a cost of changing if you want to have a bunch of economic ones when not in war.. and then when someone declares war on you, you suddenly go all military minor factions.

I can see how it would be abused, just stick to the factions you like or have the most of, no issue then.
