Now I don't know about you guys, but i've been craving for new Fallen Empires that embodied ethics that are not already used, such as egalitarian, authoritarian, pacifist and militarist.
With the addition of absolute ethics in the Willpower DLC, I wonder if such fallen empires would be added? This is all guesswork, but to me it would make sense if fallen empires had absolute ethics & thematically I think it could make sense.
Perhaps a stagnant egalitarian/pacifist fallen empire would influence the ideologies around the galaxy. With the Hive Mind FE being able to influence the GalCom, perhaps a egalitarian FE could do so as well in order to ram through Universal Prosperity Mandate, like a stagnant and overconfident version of The Culture.
Then we'd have 8 ideologically entranched fallen empires including the machine and hive mind FE's.
Anyways, what are your thoughts?
