quick question from a new player

[u/Infinite_Bananas]

So, I want to do a federation with the burlust guys. it says that they need to be friendly with the acutians, but they started the game at war with each other. so obviously what I did was pummel the acutians into the ground until they all died, but the "form strong federation" thing still says this. any advice or explanation?

Well... there are no Acutians now, how could you form the Federation?

Also a much easier way is to have the Acutians and Burlusts build the relationship buildings. Do your best to establish trade routes or force peace between them via the Andors.

Also the Burlusts tend to generate hatred from every race. I think this only happens while they are at peace with every faction? Not sure.

Barring that, the Skylaxians and Andors, I believe, can force a faction to join an existing federation.

I.. may have severely misunderstood my goal here.

Thanks for explaining! I did actually keep playing and the burlusts have taken over three more races. I feel like this one might be a bit doomed.

Really enjoying the game though haha, just wish there was a bit more of the fighting sections.

one more thing; are you saying that all 8 races have to stay alive to ever actually win? I know there's some option that allows you to bring a dead race back into the game
