The foundation for this game is the idea that historically empires aren't built by genocide and aren't mono-cultural.

Master of Orion and Alpha Centuri games had option of diplomatic wins, election is held every x years with 2 largest empires as choices, win 2/3 of score vote/pop vote and you win.

An empire that doesn't vote for you gets hostillity in return. Perhaps in Stars universe that may mean must set as enemy, no trade (till next vote).

A race that surrenders to you in Alpha Centuri will always vote for you.

gain control

In my experience, a weak power who no longer thinks he can win may still be willing to stick in if he is mad and wants revenge. After some revenge he may drop without notice.

...

Throwing this into real game senario, who would perhaps have gotten control of your empire in TWW after you couldn't pull off the early kill with your quick start? Micha and Eric launched a joint attack against you, and micha had potential to undo his crippling deterraforming attack if he had remained major power.

You had some early treaty with Pieter and I suspect secretly were friends with Wizard. I had in end perhaps had been friendliest, eg had NAP till end.

So who gets control? If you have 2 equal powers near you, one that trades with you but hasn't saved you and one that is bombing you, who do you join? Or what if also power #3 looks like the game winner, but is further away? What if power #3 offers to find some of your colonists a new home?

Perhaps the guy who controls your HW? If so perhaps I should be an IT race that is friends with everyone, ready to gate some pop over and take HWs over. "Give your empire to me rather than that meanie who is bombing you"
