Question re commonwealths and conquest victory conditions

from GalCiv3 Forums

I have a question regarding the new commonwealth system.  When I create a commonwealth, the conquest victory condition now adds that new "race" as another number (of races) to be defeated in order to achieve conquest victory. 

If that is not a bug, then why would I ever want to create a commonwealth if I have to just go back and reconquer my old planets?  Maybe I'm missing something but as soon as I saw this in-game I stopped so that I could ask...

Yeah, it wigged me out too. As I had just researched the +4 morale tech and had happy buildings on my planets and my morale rate was fairly decent by then - I just hit the 'give me a moment' and began researching the ladder to Interstellar Republic. Not sure what all happens when you create a New Commonwealth - I just knew I didn't care for the mini me that appeared.

If you eliminate all of the non-commonwealth factions you will get a conquest victory.  That just sounds like a bug on that screen.

Commonwealth is just give those planet to AI to taking care of it while you get tribute from them.

Cool, thanks for the responses.  I also literally just won a conquest victory while having a commonwealth.  So it's definitely just an issue with the victory display screen.    

Btw, so far enjoying the new updated game!

Glad to hear that you are having fun.  And congrats on the victory.
