Wiz's Jan. 27th twittter spoiler

Actually, not much of a spoiler since we already know this one, but hey.

In @StellarisGame 1.5 'Banks', you'll be able to change your empire ethics. Some of your Pops might not be too happy about it, though.

Interesting.

I wonder if you start with a ruling faction?

 

[BlackUmbrellas]

Ooh, nice and straightforwards then. I approve!

 

[smjjames]

Interesting.

Seems like a logical thing to happen. After all, theres already currently the 'loyalists', which gets split up into different blocs, but don't actually mean much currently.

Or maybe you have starting factions that match the ethic makeup of your homeworld.

"Issues"
"Human Grand Marshal"

Does this mean... cabinet positions??

It's the title of the leader under military dictatorship, so, no.

Just means you're not trying hard enough, in my view.

Does "permament change" means we can only do it once?

 

[Zavaleta]

Love that the Stellaris devs are embracing the concept of Vicky in Space!

 

[BlackUmbrellas]

Does "permament change" means we can only do it once?

I doubt it. Seems more of a contrast to the "temporarily boost appeal" options.

 

[smjjames]

Does "permament change" means we can only do it once?

I hope not. I think it just means permanent as opposed to a temporary change, like it'll stay that way, until you change it again. @Wiz clarification on that maybe? I suspect it means just as I said though.

No. It has a cooldown though.

@Wiz Do we lose an ethic when we do this, or could we eventually become an 8 (4 Fanatic) ethics state?

 

[Milten]

Hmm, it doesn't say anything about other ethics. Does it mean fanatism in four ethics is possible?

 

[Wizzington]

You lose/downgrade other ethics to stay at 3 points.

 

[Ex Mudder]

You lose/downgrade other ethics to stay at 3 points.

Do we choose which one, or is it random?

 

[Wizzington]

Do we choose which one, or is it random?

Prefers to downgrade rather than drop ethics unless you have the opposite ethic. Otherwise random.

 

[Mitchz95]

Do we choose which one, or is it random?

It's probably like gene-modding. You choose one to remove/reduce, then swap in the new ethos to replace it.

EDIT: Whoops, ninja'd by Wiz.

Now this is interesting! Any chance we'll have rebellions to enforce an ethic if we let our populace get too unruly?
