Default subjugation and colonization limitations

while in earlier patches, it only slightly useful to force a race into a treaty of subjugation or protectorate, it is now far more advantageous.

say you selected 'only colonize own planet type' or 'only breathable' as options. if you forced that race to surrender, or you took over his worlds with troops, sure you would get some stuff you would not have been able to colonize on your own, but what about the rest of the systems in your empire? you are missing out on all that realestate that you cant colonize. why not subjugate that race instead, and help it to colonize more planets by giving it lots of colony ships. remember, you can build colony ships of other types, you just cant use them. so help that little AI race expand, and you get 40% of his resources while you do it.

THEN go ahead and blockade his planets and and force him to surrender

Hmm... good strategy. Why don't you submit it to SpaceEmpires.org?
