Star Control 2 Empires (complete)
Sorry for the blank image, I don’t know why it’s not being displayed, as far as I can tell I did what I was supposed to do. Now, on with the mod..
This mod brings the races from Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters and brings them into Stellaris.
No additional mods are required and the only DLCs that may be needed is Federations and Corporations. I’m not sure if you can add AI empires that use data from those DLCs, just not use them yourself. Worth a shot, let me know if you know the answer. It should also be compatible with any mod although any changes to the default traits could have unintended results.
There is no custom content in this mod, and I’ve chosen appearances, traits, governments and so on in a way I best feel both represents the race as well as making them fit into Stellaris’ mechanics. 22 races in total have been created, with the exception of the Chmmr, which I decided to leave in their pre-joined states (Chenjesu and Mmrnmhrm) so if you want to play with the Chmmr, you’ll have to create them yourself.
I suggest the following settings for the galaxy generation for the most authentic experience:
-No Fallen Empires
-Zero or very few primiitves (already a lot of races)
-No Marauder Empires or Caravaneers
-Above Default AI aggressiveness, this is a galaxy at war
Click the icon to the right of the empires to force their spawn in your game, minus the one you choose to play and select the total number of empires to be generated to the number of AI empires you force spawned (not including your own) which would be 21 AI empires if you choose to play with all the races added by this mod, with you being the 22nd.
Let me know if you enjoy the mod or have any suggestions!
