Barbaric Despoilers (or nihilistic acquisition) is so much more fun in 2.2

I just tried a slaver empire with the barbaric despoiler civic aiming to play tall.
Boy I'm having a blast. Raiding all my neighbours capital cities until there are only 2 POPs left is so satifying. The amount of POPs I get is insane.

I'm having so any POPs that I don't even have enough planets or jobs for them all xD

I've found that sending the more useless races (my people are good enough leaders already thank you very much) to the voluntary labor camps is a great way of getting extra food and minerals. Though try getting some of those sweet sweet evolutionary mastery trait modded pops and you're golden!
