Stellaris 4.4 | compatibility patch | requires Ethics and Civics Classic and More Traditions


More Traditions' Philosophy tree (Ethics Bonuses) grants one bonus per empire ethic. More Traditions already ships extra bonuses for the additional ethic axes of Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch - but none for Ethics and Civics Classic, whose extra axes use different ethic keys. With Classic you therefore get the bonuses for the vanilla ethics only.

This patch adds the missing bonuses for Classic's extra axes, mirroring the values More Traditions uses for the equivalent Bug Branch ethics:

• Ecocentrist - +2.5% minerals and energy from jobs, +1 district on natural planets
  
• Industrialist - +2% habitability, -5% consumer-goods upkeep, -7.5% infrastructure (building/district) upkeep
  
• Cooperative - +5% trade, -2% trade fee, +5% leader XP, -0.25 worker political power
  
• Competitive - +4% worker happiness, -5% housing usage, -5% empire size from pops, +2.5% society research, +0.25 worker political power
  

(Fanatic variants count as well. Bug Branch's Elitist/Pluralist axis has no Classic counterpart and is not mirrored. More Traditions' base-ethic bonuses stay exactly as they are - the Classic bonuses come on top, so the tree is slightly more generous than More Traditions' own Bug Branch variant, which also swaps the base bonuses.)


Only if you run both Ethics and Civics Classic and More Traditions and want the Philosophy tree to honour Classic's Competitive/Cooperative and Ecocentrist/Industrialist ethics. Without it nothing breaks - the bonuses simply don't exist.


More Traditions selects the Bug Branch bonuses through the scripted variable @has_bug_branch (default 0) and loads the inline script philosophy/MT_bug_ethic_modifiers_0.txt - an empty placeholder - when it is 0. This patch replaces that placeholder with the Classic bonuses (same-name file override). More Traditions' own base-ethic bonuses and everything else in the tree are unchanged; no More Traditions or E&C file other than this placeholder is touched.

Ethics and Civics Classic (Primitive Nomad Update) | More Traditions

• Adds no new content and no text of its own (uses More Traditions' existing tooltip).
  
• Safe to add or remove mid-game.
  
• Not for Ethics & Civics: Bug Branch - More Traditions supports that natively via @has_bug_branch = 1.
  

All content belongs to the authors of Ethics and Civics Classic and More Traditions; this patch only mirrors existing values onto Classic's ethic keys.
