Are these people going to cause ... problems?

[WLFobe]

I've got a nice little Military Dictatorship going. There's a system with three habitable worlds. There is in that same system an inhabitable world with a Machine Age race. How much unrest with they come with? I'd like to infiltrate them.

I am Fanatic Militarist & Materialist. They are Fanatic Militarist & Xenophobe. The Xenophobe tendency has me worried. Should I be?

Orbital bombard them using top bombardment. Eventually they will be wiped out and no one will care

Or purge them for a diplomacy penalty which is quicker.

Gotta chooze your poison here

Which is why i'm glad the indocrination feature will be added. It would be nice if uplifted species get a bonus to ethics convergence, so they're more likely to be loyal POPs.

 

[dying0d]

Yea, it's nice that something that would happen is in there for uplifting.

if you enlighten them they will become hegemonic imperialists, not terrible but not good, why not conquer them? Then you can use them to work the world you would otherwise not be able to get.

Xenophobe on normal level will add a -10% to Happiness while under Foreign rule.
If you got access to Artisan Enclave, a single Monument would drop that to -0% and add +10% Happines.
Between a Vistor Center, Art Monument and the Ministery of Culture you can even integrate Fanatic Xenophobes without penalties from that Ethos angle.

You do not have a lot of options for Happiness and Ethics Divergence right now. The only thing your Ethos combination get's is the Virtual Combat Arena. I would guess the intention for Miliarist is to just station enough troops there that rebelliousness would not mater that much.
