Campaign Spoiler Questions: CORE, Carmina or Neutral Route

[Vind7]

CORE send 2-4 stacks of buffed up autonoms (around 6 stacks of 2500+ on turn 100+) which appear from thin air near your borders closest to capital. You can leave 1 closest sector unoccupied and they will spawn here from now on. Then i switched side to empress Carminia in last mission she didnt wipe out enemy AIs at all and it looks like this works only then you are not on her side or some other requirement needed. From my 3 playthroughs of last mission neutral is simpler than Carminia side because she will reduce core players to dust given time and then Autonoms can be bought to neutral status.

and then Autonoms can be bought to neutral status.

Are you sure about that? Because in my CORE run I tried to buy paragon to neutral, they took my ressources and sector, but then said "We'll gladly accept your gift, but we'll still fight all that oppose Carminia." and just remained at war with me
So I thought autonoms will react the same.

If all core/carminia players a dusted, their NPC faction might return to "normal".

Plus technically you can get even you bespoke NPC ally to hostile, if you just deny enough demands.

Okay, my Carminia Campaign went to the final mission. While some of the commanders stayed neutral despite my best efforts, it is still a easy for Carminia, Hard for core. And oddly Easy for Neutral (wich i asume is a bug).

Now one interesting part is that Carminia apparently has the ability to send non-allied comanders "into the cornfield":
She says something about having a "special dimension" for a given commander.
Then the void swallows their capitol
The commander is defeated.

I asume that only happens because I supported her that much, making her very strong.
If so, what does cores variant of this look like?
And what if I went heavily neutral? Does something similar happen to non-neutrals?

Carminia does that when you fight against her as well.

NPCs can be bribed to peace then all AIs on their side is eliminated. Now is this a bug or a feature i dont know. Achieved peace with Paragons on my neutral run this way.

That sounds so specific, it is propably a feature.

It's worth noting that this is generally only an instant defeat for that commander if they're in their capital at the time (or in the void), although the AI is bad at surviving after losing its capital and its usually inevitable that it will get itself killed shortly afterwards.

Wich would be trivial to check with the scripts
