Should we be allowed to chose the government form for new empires after liberation wars?

I get that this kind of war is to spread your ideology, the thing is now that you are producing more megacorps when you are one yourself. Normally you would want to produce more potential customers, not more competition.

I think the question at this stage is should corporations have access to liberation wars? It seems more fitting to either have a hostile takeover and conquer your assets, or simply a subjugation war to make them subsidiaries - which ultimately is what you are trying to achieve as a megacorp when liberating a population.

Otherwise, it’s working exactly as it should - you want to spread the tenants of capitalism to another empire aka make them into competition.

Makes sense

Agree, and in that light they should not.

"Install Friendly Regime" would be a better war goal for a Megacorp (and for some other non-liberation-oriented empires like Authoritarians).

As much as it’s complained about, liberation wars and megacorps make perfect sense. If you want your neighbour to be weaker than you, make them a subsidiary or take their assets. If you’re not a ruthless capitalist, but instead a trade league type play (or even a pacifist mega church) you can liberate neighbours to also be corporates and then make a trade league federation.

Agreed, we should be able to choose.

If it needs to be limited, let us have just a couple of choices then, related to our own ethics. For example, a democracy doesn’t have to create kingdoms.

Though I don’t see why not, our own history is ok with it
