Each pacified village in a region you own, brings you 1 new population (+1 pop per pacified village
not destroyed). An assimilated Minor Faction can bring an empire-wide bonus (the bonus depends
on the number of pacified villages of the assimilated faction that you have in your empire. This
bonus is capped at 5 villages) as well as provide military Unit designs for your armies (Each
pacified village on the region will bring you a construction bonus for this particular unit).
To pacify a Minor Faction village you have 3 choices, some of which require preliminary scientific
research:
Attack: Face the army inside the village and defeat it. The village is destroyed, which
prevents it from giving your city a population bonus until it is rebuilt.
Bribe: Pay the minor faction a hefty sum of Dust, and the village will be pacified.
Parley: Start negotiations with the village, which will result in a Quest you must perform
for them. If you succeed, all of that faction’s villages in the region will be pacified.
To trigger these actions, simply right-click on the village with an army, or click on the
corresponding action in the Army Control panel.
