Stellaris Ascended

Description
Stellaris Ascended

Doesn’t it feel that society might change a bit if we were suddenly all immortal robots or had telepathic capabilities? This mod aims to capture the empire transformations that could occur after empire ascendancy. Each combination of Ascension Path and Empire Type has access to Two Civics unique to them, all which aim to be flavorful role playing wise and provide unique powerful benefits. However, each of these Civics only activates if its corresponding Ascension Path is completed. Additionally, Psionic and Genetic Ascensions are given their own authorities, each with an accompanying edict.

This project was originally started before The Machine Age DLC was announced and thus before Paradox had expanded on the original ascension paths. While that DLC added wonderful features to ascensions, I still feel that their impacts are limited (and additionally psionic/genetic didn’t get any love). This mod aims to mend that gap, adding Psionic and Genetic authorities, edicts, events, and governments which can be unlocked after ascending and completing an event chain (modelled after Cybernetic and Synthetic authorities in the Machine Age). Hopefully this should also contribute to a more excited midgame as new strategies come online.

* Currently the Hive/Machine Intelligence Cybergladiator Civics aren't complete, but they will be added shortly

Check out the Names, Abilities, and Edicts of the Psionic and Genetic Authorities.

I'd love to delve into all the content within, but that would take way too much space, so here are some Highlights:
- 40 New Civics
- 27 New Authorities (Along with 27 Accompanying Edicts)
- 40 New Events
- 28 New Governments
- 20 New Species Traits and 15 New Leader Traits
- 13 New Buildings / Holdings / Starbase Modules
- 1 New Relic and 1 New Ascension Perk
- And More...

The mod is currently only available in English and Russian (thanks Xsio!).
(translators welcome)

Compatibility

No DLC requirements.

Minimal Base Game Overrides (Should be compatible with almost every mod)

Completely Compatible With Existing Saves (Ignore my previous comments, this mod has since been updated)

Is it updated to 4.0 yet?

I look forward to being able to play with this mod again in 4.0

I mean with how Borked 4.0 seems to currently be, maybe leaving this mod alone so folks who roll back their Stellaris can be a good idea?

Rip to this mod for now it was realllyyyy fun and made me want to try every ascension and government type, seriously. Hopefully the wait for a 4.0 update isnt too long !

@Zeizei Pumpum I have plans for future updates, as well as plans for a 4.0 patch. However looks like Paradox is going to take a moment to figure this all out, so I'm going to wait to update this until things are sorted.
