Annexes

The Annexes page provides all info and functionality related to enslaving empires.

What is it? Enslaving an empire basically forces that empire to submit to you. When this happens the slave empire pays you tribute. The rate is 15% of their net per turn income. They will not pay you if they dont have a positive income. This tribute will then be transferred over to your tribute reserves. Before you can use these credits, you must first transfer this credits to your empire's treasury.

Why enslave another empire? This allows empires to expand differently, rather than just getting more planets. However, nothing comes without a price. When you enslaved an empire you will have to send in reinforcements whenever another empire tries to enslave that empire. Note that when another empire enslaves your slave empire, you will lose tribute coming from particular slave empire. Reinforcements usually comes from your 3rd and 4th stack only. If you do not have any 3rd or 4th stack, then no reinforcements can be sent. Bear in mind that starbases and scouts can't be sent as reinforcements.

How to enslave another empire To enslave an empire, simply change your attack type to `Enslave` in the attacking page. You will have to do a significant amount of damage prior to enslaving the empire.

What happens if I am not enslaved? To encourage empires to be independent (or to fight for independence), all empires not enslaved will generate an additional 15% more income. This bonus does not apply if there is negative income.

Punishing and rewarding your slaves empires
How to reward/punish ?

Select the slave empire, then click on the `V` icon in your `Slave Empire` page

Then click on `reward` or `punish` option

Reward

You can reward your slave empire, by offering them credits. The amount of credits you can offer them depends on the amount of planets that empire have. You may offer 10,000 $ for each planet your slave have.

You would first transfer the credits from your tribute reserve to his/her tribute reserve. You can't transfer credits from your empire's treasury. Your slave will only receive the transfer in his/her tribute reserve.

Reward can be use as a way of helping our poor slave empires. The more you help them out, the more powerful they can become. When they become more powerful, the tribute which they will pay you increases as well.

Punish

You may send private messages to your slave restricting them to attack your federation, or to attack certain people. However your slave may or may not want to listen to you as they have been given the choice of freewill. You can however punish them for not following your orders.

When you punish your slave empire, you perform a public execution on the innocent citizens of your slave empire. This lowers the loyalty of the population on all your slave empire's colonies by 10 points, for each time you decide to punish your slave.

However be warn that the amount of tribute your slave pays you depends on their empire's well being. The more you punish your slave, the less you will eventually earn from them.
