So I’ve been playing remake for quite awhile now as the rebels playing the clone wars sub mod and one of my biggest issues with the galactic conquest is the minor ai factions, like the hutts, hapes,Csa etc. there are too many minor factions and they all expand like crazy to the point that as the rebels I am never actually fighting the empire I’m only just fighting the minor factions. Plus in my head cannon it makes sense for some of the factions to not want to seize power but instead hold on to their systems

So far in the xml files I’ve learned how to increase unit caps for space battles but I can’t figure out how to change the ai behaviour, there has to be a way as the pirates faction in game do not expand and simply hold on to what planets they have to start with. Any help would be appreciated!
