anyhoo, war was called, I eventually wiped them out--demolished their home planet, at which point they immediately offered subjugation. I responded "sure, whatever," not really knowing what this meant. I soon noticed about 10-20 passenger ships appearing out of nowhere in some massive swarm, assumed it was citizens of the demolished home planet setting off to find a new capital. i was like "Hellz No! you gonna die!" so I sent my fleet after a few of the passenger ships, took them out...then realized they were all heading to my home planet, then settled...
but then they immediately declared war again...they didn't even have a fleet remaining, let alone a functional warship. While I understand why a subjugated empire would, and should declare war, it seems like there should be a time line for the earliest point post-subjugation that they can do this.
Had you not slaughtered their civilians in those passenger ships, I'm guessing they would have stayed subjugated for much longer.
Subjugation does make it much less likely that an empire will declare war on you again. If these comments that this is not happening are based on the 1.0.4 beta releases rather than the official 1.0.3 level, the only thing I can think of is that when we adjusted the post-war ongoing animosity, we may have broken something with the subjugation modifiers.
hmmm, well maybe their citizens should have considered not getting in my way, first!
I have yet to try any of the 1.04 betas, so I'm still with 1.03 official release.
