I highly recommend checking out GAPS: Gwen’s Additional Play Styles 3
it has some of the best civics and origins to transform your game completely with barely to none incompatibilities.

From the first spark that initiated the digital age until now, our people always dreamed of one future.
A future so grand that it defies every common sense, and so great that some people may think it’s impossible.

Then we discovered FTL Technology and everything changed. Suddenly the dream could be made real.
Suddenly instead of shrinking, the dream got even grander.
First contact was made and our people were ecstatic to learn about other intelligent species.
But the dream was always there, guiding our thoughts and forming our grand ambition.
For what is man without Ambition.

When we found the first Ruins of Galactic Superpowers that spanned the whole Galaxy, we were afraid.
But through all our research and experience we learned one thing:

There is always a bigger Fish out there.
Never shall we lose ourselves in arrogance.
Never shall we grow to complacency.
Always striving to be better, always cautious.

But always taking one step after the other toward the Great Plan, the grand Ambition.

Hello there my little schemers,

long have you waited, and now it’s finally here: The Great Plan III – War of Wits

First and foremost: This Modpack is for Stellaris 2.8.1 and as such is highly incompatible with any version before and after this one.

With that out of the way let’s get to the main points.

The Great Plan III is a direct continuation of TGP II, and as such many of the mods you already know from before can be found again. Naturally, one mod remains since the very beginning: I AM THE SENATE.

But I have also curbed unnecessary mods and added new ones I thought might mix well together. Examples would be Ecology and Real Space.

  • The complete Real Space Collection except for System Scale(FML compatibility)
  • Ecology – take care not to produce too much waste, we recycle
  • New Origins and Civics (I recommend ‘behind the scenes’)
  • All Shipset Mods have been replaced by "Grand Naval Dockyard" by Kepos. This makes it easier for me to manage these as well as outsourcing a bit of the work. hehe
  • Merged Leader levels for a complete Overhaul of all Leaders
  • Living Star Systems – enriching your systems with civil ships and Space ads
  • and many more

    Stefan’s balance mod was removed as it wasn’t designed for big modpacks and had no further use than causing incompatibilities.

    For those of you that worry about performance: I’m working on a solution at the moment. I belive !!00 Production Revolution should fix that problem, but that requires further testing, as earlier versions of it were highly incompatible.

    Overall I’m happy how TGP III turned out. I myself have to work out some kinks here and there when it comes to updating this, but that’s a problem for future me.

    Credits

    I want to thank Kepos, as he was a huge help in testing this modpack, as well as helping me fix certain issues. Grand Naval Dockyard and a patch for exalted Domination are his work. The latter of the two gives the AI a spine, causing them to not throw themselves at your feet and instead have high resistance against vassalization or being made a tributary.

    I also want to thank all modders for their work in creating these fantastic mods. All used mods will be in a collection linked below.

     

    That’s all for today. I will make a guide in the following days, showing how to best configure all those mod windows at the start of the game, as those can be quite overwhelming. Or I can make a Video. Comment down below if you want one.

     

    Yours truly,
    Empress Supreme Chancellor ShadyDemoness
