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!

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!


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
