This game is going to be freaking HUUGE!, and the genetic manipulation part reminds me of the skitters from Falling Skies and the Collectors from Mass Effect, i seriously cant wait to conquer an empire then turn them into a slave race and use them to subjugate and eradicate all the other races in the galaxy....seriously tho, everything i hear about this game is getting more and more excited by the second, this is going to be one loooong wait! and hopefully when you enslave a species and genetically enhance them you can rename them =D
 
I hope you can uplift presentient races, like Gurps Uplift / David Brin's uplift saga, with the options like valued member of socity / specialized workers / specialised warriors / psionic freak.
 
I'm scared... i already know that i will sink soooooo many hours playing this game :(
A space 4X by paradox (with so many great features), and with DLC expansions and modding this game will get huge!
 
I don't recall enslaving races in MoO2, you just integrated them into your population. Those two things are no synonymous. Now MoO3 did have slavery, if I recall correctly.

I'm not sure on the exact terminology but they were a captured alien population and effectively enslaved.

From memory they appeared differently like with chains around them or something like that and were treated differently vs your normal citizens, but I can't remember the details (haven't played it for about 6 years).
