This module of Biotech Expansion focuses on a few complex xenotypes, all bearing immense power from their archite born genetics to manifest the might of mythical beings! Due to the complexity of these xenotypes, this module will not have as many xenotypes as other BTE mods, but will instead focus on a few of them with their own special mechanics. Some possible xenotypes include dragons, phoenixes, and other candidates! This pack has special resources such as Aurum, ultra conductive mechanites that feed on silver and gold, which can be used to power mighty dragon wings, burning claws, hides and scales tougher than armor, and fiery and explosive fire powers!


Important Note: The only way to see these xenotypes is to enable their faction when starting a new game. Due to their general strength, they have a low chance of appearing even when their faction is enabled, and their raid point modifier is extremely high to prevent them from popping up too early in the game. Alternatively, befriending them's a good way to see them too! Occasionally.




Aurum - User must eat gold and silver based foods. Abilities revolve around fire and electricity. Aurum can be increased from aurum idols, obtained from quests and occasionally shaman merchants.

Reverence - User must have other pawns worship a totem, which generates reverence for them to eat. Abilities revolve around psychic powers. Royalty/Ideology is *NOT* required but STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Ideology rituals can also be used to refill reverence. Revered motes also regains psyfocus for anyone. Reverence can be improved and new abilities can be obtained from building higher level totems.

Originally posted by Mythic House of Fire:

A tribe ruled by a clan of extremely powerful draconic xenohumans. With a strong preference for warmer climates and an endless lust for gold, the glintscales in control of this tribe rarely leave their den of decadence, instead sending "lesser" xenotypes to obtain gold for their draconic masters. However, places that have proven themselves especially wealthy may attract the notice, and ire, of a glintscale, and they may send themselves along with a warband to confiscate what they see as rightfully theirs.

Glintscales only rarely appear on raids compared to other xenotypes, and have extremely high combat point modifiers, as a result they will not be seen until the colony is fairly rich or enough time has passed. Or you somehow get very unlucky.
