day...maybe try reading comments before commenting. It often has the answer.

By the dev Tovius "Welp, looks like 3.8 removed mandates and agendas completely, so I won't be updating this mod any further."

Does this still work

Hi Tovius, Just dropping by to let you know that the term limits feature of this mod does still function. I've had about 5 deep runs with this mod and have noticed that the Leader is barred from running again after the second term.

The non-mandate related changes (such as political retirements and term limits) will probably make their way into Expanded Events.

Welp, looks like 3.8 removed mandates and agendas completely, so I won't be updating this mod any further. I will keep it up for now for people who are still playing with 3.7.

Small patch for Expanded Mandates , More Emperor & Custodian Resolutions, and Galactic Unification , Resolutions Expanded .

Quickley made

@Ben_D
It looks like 3.8 will be removing the ruler class (they retain their previous leader class instead), so next patch will neatly resolve the issue.

Just a heads up: when I next update my mod (probably after the 3.8 comp patch), it will require Scripted Trigger Undercoat, so I would recommend downloading it now. Place it on the top of your load order (but below any other patches)

Good to see some progress on that issue.

I've figured out how to preserve chosen one, psionic, cyborg, and synthetic ruler traits when a ruler resigns.

Unfortunately, if I don't reset the traits, the leaders end up with ruler traits instead of their previous non-ruler traits.

This mod would be fantastic if it didn't remove all the good traits the scientists had before their 2 terms were up. This mod even removes the Chosen One trait when "retiring" these characters. Is there any way to preserve the traits and simply add the retired traits instead?

I've updated the Uplift Mandate to better interact with the changes to primitives. Please let me know how it works in your games.

I bet you can do some fun new stuff with the primitive features. Maybe Xenophobe faction wants to invade/enslave some primitives. Maybe xenophiles want you to reveal yourselves and guide them, as some examples.

Mod updated to 3.7. I might come back once I finish updating my other mods to see if the new dlc lends itself to any fun new mandates. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thank's. A fix will be uploaded shortly.

Little typo syntax error in expanded_mandate_events.txt. Line 542 has a "." at the beginning of it.

Updated to 3.5

The mandates in this mod reward WAY too much influence, making Egalitarian empires basically OP. I'd reduce the influence rewards to somewhere around 50-75% of their current values in this mod, or increase the influence costs to balance the game. I agree that the vanilla influence rewards are too low, but the rewards in this mod are way too high. These high influence rewards mean that Egalitarian empires can now expand way more in the early game, call-in favors basically as much as they want, call for ideas in the galactic community as much as they want, make claims on foreign territory as much as they want, make as many diplomatic pacts and agreements as they want, modify subject agreements as frequently as they want, and integrate subjects anytime they like!

Does it have russian localization so if I launch this on russian version of the game i will get english text instead of errors?

I can't weight mandates, I can only turn them on or off.

Heya, so yeah I got one of the new ones about 2260 in to my game, one question I have is shouldn't "Interstellar Expansion" be weighted to be appear near the beginning of the game? The first time I got interstellar expansio, there are no more places to settle anymore. Everything is taken and I'm hemmed in.

It's working, there are just a lot of mandates, so you might not see any of the new ones sometimes.

Here's a save with the only mod being this mod on a vanilla democratic empire preset, I ran the command democratic_election (or however that command is spelled) and it still only gave me orbital researcher and etc. This link will probably expire after 14 days as I have not registered the account. {リンクが削除されました}https://www.mediafire.com/file/lwqaku6mz0thhbi/autosave_2200.07.01.sav/file

Here's an image of an election with the mod on. https://i.imgur.com/y8WEpGE.png

Hey there, I was trying this out but for some reason I am not getting any of expanded mandates, only orbital researcher, and mining stuff. I tried the game with only that mod and it didn't work either. Links in upcoming comment

Updated for 3.4

Yaaaay! Thanks!

Good news: I finally squashed the "retired rulers get ruler traits" bug for good.

Due to steam acting up, I had to reupload Spaceborne Civs Expanded. You can download it here:
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790961377

I don't touch agendas, so it should.

Does this work with "Your Ruler can select Agenda"?

I'll look into it

Am I supposed to be able to just apply the awoken trait to my robots? The flavor text seems to reference some event but I can just slap it on through regular template modding.

Thanks for updating!

Minor Update: ignoring term limits now cost unity instead of influence

Updated for 3.3

Hi!
I had a bug, when in a democratic empire, the ruler maxed out his terms (2nd), and could not be voted ever again (I dont used the option with the forced additional term).
He came back into his previous leader role, but kept his ruler traits, and did not got back his old leader skills.
But when a ruler was not re-elected after 1 term, they go back to their old leader category (governor, scientist, etc.), with their previous leader traits just fine.
Could it be a problem whe they have a mod specific mandate in their last term or the bug is from the basic game?

I have tried this mod with a friend, and he reports a lot of missing text that we suspect is because he's a French speaker and this mod has no French text...

Because I would actually like to play with my friend, I humbly request to be given the orgininal in-game texts and be allowed to give you a translation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you!

Mod Updated to 3.2

Mod updated to 3.1.

Can confirm, democratic rulers that step down with active term limits in place keep their ruler traits. I've already converted five of my governors that way, and I'm honestly considering firing several of them because I'm starting to run out of research bonuses...

Not sure if it's this mod causing it but when my leader steps down after the two term limit, the leader still has their ruler skills and not any appropriate skills for what their new job is like science or admiral or governor.

I'm considering to get this mod solely for fixing the dumb auto-failing of successfully completed mandates if the leader happens to die during their term.

But I wonder: was it really necessary to buff the unity output, and then add another bonus on top? That's kind of a triple-stacked buff to democracies, compared to vanilla. Doesn't that make the other government types too weak in comparison?

I have a feature request. Would it be possible to add an option that would allow you to toggle between fulfilling mandates and having some sort of passive bonus? Basically you could assess if you are able to reach your current mandate goal. If you are not confident you could reach the mandate in the 10 year period, you could active a policy or edict that would instantly fail your mandate but then provide you with a lesser passive modifier instead (maybe something generic like +5% unity bonus empire wide or something more specific that directly ties to the mandate you passed up). The reason why I though of this is, some mandates (and to an extent the whole mandate system in general) become cumbersome as you exit the early to mid game phase. After having put hundreds of hours into playing as a democratic government type, it would be nice to have an alternative option that was a bit more streamlined even if weaker.

Cool mod concept! Just curious, is it save game compatible?

thanks a lot !
