I've been looking for something like this for a very long time. I hope this works for the newest version.

A long time ago I added this mod's functionality to my No Clustered Starts mod. I've had this mod linked in the description ever since, but didn't know it wasn't being updated! Keeping the link because credit is only right, but if anyone wants a mod that does what this one does you can use this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=687226658

It does change how Clustered empire placement works, but that will have no impact if there is only 1 empire (yours) since it does not influence the placement of Fallen Empires or any other non-standard empire.

they said they're not going to update it in the description

I don't think they're gonna update this

still no update? :(

any word on an update?

@oriamikad - reporting as outdated, assuming you know b/c update dropped, but just in case....

Sorry about the wait -- updated now. As always, let me know if the new update broke anything.

need to update again. :(

why would i use this??? im not hating this is a GENUINE question

Oops. I didn't change back something I was testing and I uploaded it without realizing it was there. Fixed now. :P

This mod's latest update make Large and Huge map sizes unavailable. Might wanna look into that D:

Just updated this mod -- if it doesn't work anymore tell me and I'll find the problem. Steam hasn't notified me of comments on my stuff for months -- sorry the mod's been dead. :)

I would love for this mod to be updated. I want to solely own an entire galaxy! :D

i presume this will be updating again soon? it hasn't worked for me since 1.3.2, and i really miss it. :(

@inigmatus THANK YOU for this comment. I was searching for a mod like this FOR EXACTLY THE SAME REASON. YOU WIN THE BEST PERSON ON STEAM AWARD (@oriramikad you're cool too.)

Finally a mod that allows me to play as the Galactic Empire from the Foundation series, where in Asimov's universe, mankind alone went to the explore the Milky Way, and though searching for intelligent life, it did not find any except for one non human species that left long ago. Also allows for the player to uplift other species and allow factions to form and split off. As one poster put it: it allows you to be the first empire to rise in the galaxy, and thus later become the first fallen empire in the galaxy.

Heh. I didn't think about that. I think I'll actually try out my own mod. XD
And it's already possible in vanilla to reduce the number of fallen empires to 0, just not the regular ones.

Sounds... interesting. I assume by reducing the number of AI empires to 0 you're also getting rid of the Fallen Empires. But are there still primitive civilizations and upliftable species? If so this could be an interesting "play as a Fallen Empire" scenario: you are the first species to make it to the stars and thus have a big head-start in tech, then as other primitive species slowly make it you are to them what FEs are to you in the normal game.

LOL, ok. XD

*kneels to the ground*
THANK YOU, SUPREME BEING! THANK YOOU! *crying tears of joy*

I mean, I can sort of understand, especially if you have the Leviathans DLC. There's some conflict in the galaxy already in the mid to late game without the empires. Especially when a crisis happens.

Dunno. Ask this guy: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/discussions/-1/305509857564274463/?appid=281990

but why would you?
