Description:

Ascendancy Redux is a species mod that adds species, flags, and empires from the classic Ascendancy (1995) PC game. I always loved this game and its unique setting, and I believe it was one of the main precursors to Stellaris, alongside the more famous Masters of Orion II. With this mod, I aim to bring some of that 90s nostalgia into Stellaris!

The mod includes:

• 21 upscaled static species portraits with sound
• 21 flags (reused from the Ascendancy Races mod by Zaaset)
• 21 new empires with custom start screen messages

Please note the prescripted empires are set to always spawn.

Recommended DLCs:
To fully experience all prescripted empires, I highly recommend the following DLCs:

• Utopia (for the Ungooma Swarm empire)
• Synthetic Dawn (for the Minions)
• Cosmic Storms (for Kambuchka)
• Humanoids Species Pack
• Aquatic Species Pack (for Mebes and the Fludentri)
• Lithoid Species Pack (for Shevar and Orfa)
• Plantoids Species Pack (for Arbryl and Oculons)
