Invader Zim - Irken Race

Please remember to like and favorite this mod if you think that it's good! It helps people to see it on the workshop more easily.


This mod adds a new custom race and pre-scripted empire inspired by the Irken Empire from the early 2000s cartoon 'Invader Zim'.

This mod includes the following features:
- 18 custom static portrait images (plus 4 unique ruler-exclusive static portraits), organized under a single portrait group in the Arthropoid species class.
- A new civic, Invader Culture (which dramatically reduces the influence cost and energy upkeep to conduct Infiltrate Government operations against pre-FTL civilizations), and a new origin, Urbanized Homeworld (which causes any empire with this origin to spawn on an Ecumenopolis).
- The pre-scripted Irken Empire, utilizing all aforementioned features, which is set to enable normal spawning in some games.

This mod is not ironman/achievement compatible, as it changes the checksum (this cannot be fixed). It may or may not be savegame compatible, but certain features might be missing unless you start a new game from scratch. Only playable on multiplayer if both you and the other players have the same mod. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are experiencing any issues with the mod itself, or wish to inform me of any compatibility issues with other mods.

This mod may or may not be incompatible with other mods that also overwrite the following vanilla files:
- espionage_operation_types/pre_ftl_operations.txt (operation_infiltrate_government already exists)
If anyone would like to develop a third-party compatibility patch for any mods that this conflicts with, I highly encourage you to do so.

Planned additions for the future, from highest to lowest priority:
- Modify the existing code to allow for less overwriting of existing vanilla files.
- A potential event chain revolving around Operation Impending Doom and Operation Impending Doom 2, possibly giving the Irken Empire certain buffs in regards to invading/infiltrating primitives.
- Make the portraits animated.
- Add new city (and possibly ship) graphics.
