StellarStellaris
Compatible with 3.6 Orion.

This is updated from the old Civics Expanded+! New updates and information will be here.

Empires Expanded, previously known as Civics Expanded Plus, is a mod about revamping your Stellaris experience while still preserving that feeling of vanilla Stellaris to an extent. There is a great variety of options for the players and AI to choose from, from civics to ascension perks, scaling from minor to game-changing.

Your feedback is highly appreciated! Any balance suggestions, bug reports, ideas, and other assistance is very welcome!

ModDB version will be updated in the future.
Mod is currently not on Paradox Mods; it will be in the future.

Features

This mod adds:
- 30 default civics
- 10 hive civics
- 5 machine civics
- 10 corporate civics
- 5 ascension perks
- 4 policies
- 6 edicts
- 3 origins
- 9 traits
- Relics, buildings, techs, federations and much more!

Add-ons & Variants

Some of the content of this mod, namely some of the new civics, might be stronger or more in-depth that some of the vanilla Stellaris civics. As such, it is recommended to use Empires Expanded: Vanilla Overhaul (Submod).

Want a version with just the new civics? Check out Empires Expanded: Civics Only (Variant).

It's recommended (but not necessary) to use a mod that adds an extra starting civic slot, like 3 Civic Slots.

TL;DR:
Civics only version
Vanilla overhaul submod

Compatibility

There is inbuilt compatibility with a plethora of other mods, namely ones that alter certain basegame policies. These are:
*Ethics and Civics Classic
*Ethics and Civics Alternative - Redux
*Ethics and Civics: Bug Branch
*Stellaris Evolved
*Expanded Traits, Civics, Pops, and More
*More Authorities
*Most forks of Petruxa's Ethics and Civics
