Playable Unbidden

Note: No longer up to date.

--------------------------------------------------

This mod adds a variety of features to make the player more like the Unbidden. It includes:

1. A custom Unbidden species including portraits, a ship set (from Yorick's Extra Playable Races mod), a city set, a name list, rooms, and a starting Unbidden Portal system.

2. The Voidhunters trait, which does the following:

• Creates an Unbidden Portal in your home system, which creates ships on a regular basis
  
• Gives the player the option of purging planets after destroying their fortifications
  
• Unlocks Extradimensional Technology at the start of the game
  
• Includes edict for immortal leaders
  
• Makes all other empires declare war on you at the start of the game

3. Seven unique ascension perks exclusive to players with the Voidhunters trait:

• Energy Tuning: increases the damage output of your energy weapons
  
  
• Extradimensional Familiarity: increases your damage output against all Unbidden and the Shroud
  
  
• Riftsplitter: allows you to create Unbidden rift "habitats" near uninhabitable worlds; these rifts can't have buildings, but they provide large amounts of unity and influence; also grants an edict to open a new Unbidden portal for a flat influence cost of 500 provided you don't have one already
  
  
• Peak Power: increases your influence and unity output by 10% and replaces the immortal leader and fleet capacity edicts with versions that costs less influence
  
  
• Portal Mastery: makes it so you get the same number of ships in your yearly reinforcements as the regular Unbidden do
  
  
• Challenge the Aberrant: lures a lesser faction of Aberrant near your system; defeating them gives you permananet bonuses
  
  
• Challenge the Vehement: calls a lesser faction of Vehement to a nearby system; you get different bonuses after beating them

4. An Unbidden Portal that spawns when the game starts. It gives you fleets in waves.

The AI does not use the Unbidden Hunters empire, and it can not randomly select the trait or portraits, but they can be used by user-made empires. The mod does not replace any vanilla files and should be compatible with all mods.

-Known Issues:
-The Unbidden ship set is out of date
-The portal planet types don't use custom icons because I don't want to replace any regular files
