Exigency Beta – Origins Mod

Exigency Beta – Origins Mod

STANDALONE TEST BUILD OF EXIGENCY – PLEASE DO NOT USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MAIN BUILD!

The main goal of this test branch was to rework some of the civics as Origins, and for this reason things are likely to break if you use the two versions together. This version is provided for any brave souls that (a) don’t already have a game in progress and (b) feel like trying out the changes before they hit the main version. Well, if they hit the main version

3 New Origins, 5 New Civics

FORSAKEN EMPIRE
-Origin
Perhaps this nation toyed with forbidden knowledge. Perhaps they angered the one empire in the galaxy that could best them in war. And now this humbled society retains only the tiniest fraction of their former glory.
Gain the Ancient trait: +25% Leader upkeep, -25% leader experience gain, -15% growth speed
+200 leader lifespan, +2 leader level cap, +10% habitability and +10% specialist output
+15% Research Speed
-5% Happiness, -25% Unity production and -20% growth speed
Access to the Forsaken Recovery biology tech path, allowing you to eventually reduce the penalties
More likely to draw this mod’s new technologies

PSIONIC HERITAGE
-Origin
-Must be Spiritualist
Begin the game with the Psionic Theory tech already researched.
Start with the Psi Academy building unlocked, producing +1 Psion Job per 25 Pops
You may also find a couple of new psi techs: these techs are available to anyone with the Exigency mod active but you’re much more likely to get them with Psionic Heritage.
(Credit to Alfray Stryke for letting me see how he added starting techs in his God-Emperor civic mod)

SAPIENT INTERVENTION
