Question about Xeno POP Ethos

[Brods]

In the streams we have seen military ethos being divided into Empire modifiers (Rivalry, Alliance cost, Army damage) and POP modifiers (war happiness). If you integrate another species who are militaristic, but your empire are not, would all but the war happiness be entirely lost?

If so, army damage should be a POP modifier, so a puny science oriented race could enslave or integrate competent warriors into their fold.

From what little I've seen, I think army damage is based off of the species you make the troops out of.

so yes if your empire's main species are weak pacifists, do use very strong fanatic militarist aliens as groundhuggers. They would enjoy it far more anyway.

Right, the very strong trait has +army damage and that is surely a POP modifier. As for the military ethos it seems to only give +5%/10% war happiness, but it will do.
