The minor races were way too exploitable in 2. I could just constantly buy all their tech and influence to keep myself ahead, while giving them the tech in the direction I wanted them to research (there was a fun trick to it). There was one game that a random event caused a minor race to take a huge amount of planets from all the major races. They easily became the biggest race by far, but were still considered a minor race, so they didn't do much. I hope instances like this are fixed at
