Hello guys!
I create this thread because, as it is written in the Title, I want to make a suggestion about the End-Game Disasters. From what we currently know, theses Crisises would be mostly military : Invasion from another Galaxy, another dimension or an AI rebellion. But what I thought is that we do not currently know about more administrative kind of threats. We don't even know if there is some!
So my suggestion would be about a Galactic-wide economic crisis. It has been suggested on the DD topic but at the time nobody cares about. So let me explain my idea.
The crisis would basically makes your upkeep of everything far more costly and gives you less money, due to the population which become less and less rich. The greater your Empire is, the more difficult it would be to keep it at bay.
The ploutocratics regimes would be severely weaked, as a great part of your Pops would be then poor and will hate your wealthy elite. You can appease them by give them food ,IE : give them money and use your influence. But your money itself is important because you are losing it pretty fast. So it is a choice : do you want to bet on your citizen's resillience, or do you prefer to do the safe thing , which could enventually accelerate your economic collapse ?
That would also turn your towards different beliefs , and the effects of the crisis would be accorded to the beliefs they have.
For exemple, a Collectivist state would at first, have less problems than a Individualist state. But as the time passes, more and more of your Pops would become more and more Individualistics. The Materialistics Empires would have a hard time. But the Spiritualists ones may see a lot of Pops become increasingly Materialists as the crisis hit them. And if they are Fanatically Spiritualists and that your governement is a theocracy , they can attempt to kill your leader and lead large rebellions, because your leader is viewed as accursed.
So , Materialistics and Individualists societies would be hit hard to the beginning, but that wouldn't increase as the time passes, while Collectivists or Spiritualists would endure it at the beginning, but drastically change their views after some time.
Furthermore, the entire galaxy would be reshaped, because the greater Empire would have a pretty difficult time to maintain such an administration and an army while losing so much money and facing internal discontent. That would pretty much rebalance the power of the entire Galaxy. An Empire which roflstompped all forces in the Galaxy and which thinks he was Napoleon or Julius Caesar would be seriously weakened, and eventually free to be attacked.
The Xenophoby can drammatically increase, as it does in Germany in the end of the 1920s , which led to Hitler, more or less. The Pacifists Ideals could be reversed, as well as the Militaristics, as it can be seen as the reason of the Empire's economic collapse.
The main goals of the conflicts to come would be to secure economic vital ways , and the main targets would be the most wealthy planets of the Galaxy. A Pacific Empire could react to the crisis by sacking the capital of his wealthy neighbour in order to prevent its economic collapse. If your capital is a Space Constantinople , you should get prepared to receive some 4th Crusades by your angry and envious neighbours.
This crisis could led to a resurgence of the Fallen Empires as well. A fanatic Materialistic FE which patronize a civilisation could try to help the said Empire to not collapse. A militaristic Fallen Empire could decide to profite from this galactic collapse to retake its glorious place . Fanatic Spiritualists could, I don't know, try to help the theocraties or something ? I didn't thought of that in the first place, but that could be interesting as well.
So, it would be more like an administrative crisis to handle, which would favorise little Empires , and even maybe Pacifists ones. Because, you know, handling a Tyrannid or a Chaos Invasion would be cool and such, but let's be honnest, you wouldn't stand a chance as a little, peacefull trading Empire. This kind of crisis would diversify a little bit the Late Game Disasters.
So, what do you think about it ?
P.S : I must apologise if I made some english mistakes, because I am not an everyday English speaker, so , please be indulgent about that
