Description:

This mod is meant to provide you (and the AI!) with more options for running your empire. It includes only internal-facing changes, and doesn’t change xeno diplomacy or relations with other empires.
Note: Should be compatible with virtually any mod.

– Added a few more repeatable techs.
– Fixed bug where gestalts were getting Trade-related techs.
– Added a Tech Focus policy. Requires the research of a tech to be able to focus on the an area.
– Put some of the new features behind technologies.
– Removed Agendas since they are no longer in the game.
– Fixed Bioconvergence turning Machine and Lithoid pops into Biological pops.
– Removed some features that are now in vanilla (e.g., tech cost penalty based on empire size).
– Updated for 3.13.x compatibility, including topbar_traditions_view for new crisis path.
– Fanatic Ethic edicts now have an initial cost.

• The tradition penalty for being over the empire size is larger.
• If a tech was one of the alternatives last time, it is more likely to remain a research option.
• AI now pays full cost for gene/robomodding projects.
• AI can expand up to 99 jumps away (instead of 2).
• Many new repeatable technologies
• New Edicts for Fanatic Ethics
• New Leader Traits
• Leaders can now gain traits when levelling up if they already have 3.
• New Ascension Perk (bioconvergence) when you don’t want a million species in your empire.
• Added Conscription policy.
• Added repeatable techs for Encryption and Decryption.
• Increased maximum growth from immigration.

• common/defines/00_defines.txt (specific defines only)
• interface/topbar_traditions_view.gui (replaces the Traditions view to display the 4 additional Ascension Perks)

I used some content from the following abandoned mods:

• Like_A_Stone’s Stone’s Politics Xpansion (last updated 20160601)
• Scarecrow’s Trait Compendium (last updated 20180223)
• Arky’s Conscription (last updated 20190726)
• Dazz Aephiex’s Trade Value Repeatable Tech (last updated 20200512)
• Alex1590’s New Leader Traits – New perks and tradeoffs (last updated 20210428)
