Apart from being a meagcorp and a trade focused empire, what are some interesting combos/synergies/interactions you can do with multiple empires that you would not otherwise be able to do?

A tall Rogue Servitor empire can have insane alloy/CG output off a small number of Ecumenopolises, but Rogue Servitors are nothing special when it comes to primary resource production. So you could have Rogue Servitor (with Catalytic Processing), and then another empire supplying them a lot of (food)+minerals in return for a share of the alloys/CGs.

This is probably beaten by a machine empire with Catalytic Processing and 0 food, but I don't consider that a legit play, it's just that the 0 food penalty is still way too lenient for machines.

If you want synergy in multiplayer

Everyone joins one trade federation.

A single merchat will output insane trade to the whole trade federation via the free commerce pacts

As an example a single merchat produces 15 trade multiplied by your trade buffs lets say 100% so that equals 30 trade for you and 10% for Every member of the federation

So if there were 10 other members that would equal another 30 trade in total split between them

That 1 merchant would be creating

In total for the federation 30 ec 15cg and 15 unity

This keeps scaling the more members you add
