Better Aristocratic Elite
Mod changing the benefits of the Aristocratic Elite civic
-Improved the Noble Estate building by allowing for a Tier 2 upgraded version of the building called "Noble Court" once you have researched the Colonial Centralization technology and a colony has built the Planetary Capital (Tier 3) building. The Tier 2 version gives 2 Noble jobs + 1 Soldier job (+ 2 housing, to house the nobles but not the soldier). The equivalent building on Orbital Rings has also been improved, changed from giving +2 Noble jobs -> +3 Noble jobs and +2 Soldier jobs
– Changed the Noble Chateau holding from giving +2 Stability to the empire capital of the Overlord -> +1 Stability to each of the sector capitals of the Overlord
This should give the Aristocratic Estate civic some much needed extra value. I included the tech requirement so that you can’t upgrade from Noble Estate -> Noble Court almost instantly on your home planet. The buff sounds pretty reasonable to me, but feel free to comment if you think it’s over- or underpowered.
NOTE: the change to the Noble Chateau holding is experimental. Please tell me if it’s not working as intended (treading unknown modding waters with this one).
Did you know I have made other mods as well? See the mod page for my personal compilation mod Feztis’ Tweaks and Re-balancing that includes all changes I’ve made to the game, with links to the rest of the mods too.
