Worthy Ascension Perks
Worthy Ascension Perks
Stellaris: 3.0.*
Ah, Ascension Perks. Your rewards for finishing entire traditions trees, “defining characteristics that emerge as a product of the socio-cultural evolution represented by the Traditions intertwining with the empire’s identity” (wiki).
They’re a pretty big deal. Or at least, they should be.
It’s pretty common knowledge that not all ascension perks are created equal. Some are extremely valuable, while others are… there… if you ever need them for something.
Let’s be honest, we only have so many slots for Ascension Perks, so we should be using them to the maximum. But some of them are not worth picking, let alone considering. So I made them!
I present to you… Worthy Ascension Perks!
