Synth empire

[mork77]

if you follow the synth ascension path, and you already have Synths in your empire by the time your people upload their brains and leave their body, do the synths already existing become equal, or is there still a difference?

I finished a multiplayer game with a synth-based empire and the regular synths still stick around - you can't build any more of them, though, as the "build synth" button is replaced with one to build a primary species pop.

If you outlaw AI after becoming a synth empire only your old synths get purged as well, your primary species robots won't be affected.

But other than that fact they're functionally identical.
