[1.82] Minors are colonising

from GalCiv3 Forums

In my current game 2 minor races are colonising other planets. Is this WAD?

It's from the Benevolent tree. Outreach 1 gives them a colony ship to use.

Yes. Minors do not build colony ships. But if they received one either from ideology or trade they will use it.

Also I believe GRM gives the minor races Colony ships to start? or was that pirates?

They can also get them from exploring anomalies, though, since they don't start out with a Survey Ship (and won't generally research the tech on their own), that avenue is pretty rare.

But, yeah, I've seen Minors colonize additional worlds for at least 4-5 months now. Don't remember where it first started showing up. It's just pretty rare because their avenues to getting a "gift" colony ship are fairly narrow.

The minor's Benevolent route to getting a colony ship was reported as far back as the Beta.
