Origins Civics – Unbalanced & Untested
"Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create" – Jana Kingsford
This mod introduces several Origins Civics that couldn’t make the cut for a balanced multiplayer experience (Unbalanced) or are still being developed (Untested). I’ll support these to the best I can, but please understand that they are meant to be broken to some extent. The AI will never randomly use these civics.
You need Origins Civics to use this mod.
