Description:

For patch 2.6. A conservative civic and government overhaul mod.

A lot of the civics in Stellaris have effects that I don’t consider to be all that interesting. There are the standouts like Inward Perfection and Driven Assimilator, but many are just small, flat modifiers to your empire that are easily forgotten. While these civics make for good seasoning to an established empire, I wanted something a little extra to give my galaxies a bit more diversity.

• This mod overhauls almost every vanilla civic. For some civics this just meant tweaking the numbers or adding an extra modifier, while other civics needed an entirely new mechanic to truly shine.
• New civics! Mostly for corporate authority, as I haven’t seen many other mods tackle them yet. More to come.
• New jobs! Some civics replace some of your culture workers (or regional equivalent) with new specialists: Ideologues, Innovators, and more!
• 3 Civics instead of 2, allowing for more empire variety from the get-go.
• Minor changes made to jobs like Entertainers, Priests, or Ruler-tier jobs to give certain civics further definition.
• A lot of under-the-hood changes, like a more robust Raiding war type for Barbaric Despoilers that plunders all basic resources (not just energy and minerals) based on the enemy empire’s population count (instead of their planet count).
• Pop ethics shift rate is significantly increased, helping modifiers to ethics attraction and suchlike to make a real impact.
• Leaders can reach up to level 20 (from 10), helping significantly with the vanilla leader level bloat.
• Megacorp branch offices now get a building at 0 pops and every 20 pops thereafter (instead of one for every 25 pops), making early branch offices significantly more lucrative.
• I’m not finished with this mod! I’ll be adding new origins and touching up other vanilla civics (Cutthroat Politics, Static Research Analysis, etc.) as time goes by.

• If you want to use this mod with my other mods, with Starnet, or with the Unofficial Hive DLC, use this compatibility patch.
• The Unofficial Hive DLC fleshes out hive minds more than I could ever hope to myself.
• Planet Raider to further flesh out planetary invasions (with additional benefits for Despoilers and Genocidals!)
