Ascellian Race Extension
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A WORKING FILE. WHILE I HAVE IRONED OUT MOST OF THE BUGS AND KINKS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, IT IS, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, ONLY A BETA AND BEING RELEASED DUE TO MILD INTEREST BY THE PUBLIC.
Created for and intended to be used in tandem with the Ascellian Race mod, found here:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=871702728
This mod package includes the following:
– The enigmatic Nova Outres system, available for budding empires to start in. A 25-tile variation is also available.
– A singular species trait for easy selection of the logical Ascellian traitset, simple titled "Ascellian." Provides a brief description of their culture and physiology.
– Five subtraits that are together equivalent to the Ascellian trait in order to allow for mix-and-match.
– A name list adapted from one of the originals that incorporates previously ship-exclusive names as pop names, and adds optional descriptive titles in place of last names to further distinguish pops from one another. Also renames all ground units appropriately for the culture and gives an assortment of -scellia planetary names.
– An Empire room, vanilla-based building type, and vanilla-based ship type (subject to be updated later).
The Empire room image is adapted from a piece of work by Christian Hecker ( https://www.artstation.com/tigaer https://tigaer.deviantart.com/art/Room-With-A-View-394387969 )
