Twilight Imperium (3.10.4)

This mod consists of 21 prescripted empires based upon the Twilight Imperium game with some minor additions for flavor.

As information sources i used the 3rd and 4th editions of Twilight Imperium and the Embers of the Imperium roleplaying game. When the lore was unclear i went for diversity, spreading ethics, civics and habitability types amongst the empires.

The mod is playable without DLC, but most of the empires require at least one DLC. A detailed requirements list is posted in Discussions. There are fallback versions included so even without DLC you will always have all 21 TI empires.

Features:
- 21 prescripted empires based on Twilight Imperium. Choose one for yourself and set the AI empires slider up to 20 for a pure TI experience
- flavorful additions from the TI universe like unique civics, traits, origins, events and anomalies
- claim the Imperial Throne on Mecatol Rex and draw the ire of the other empires
- discover planets and surviving colonies from the Age of Dusk

Future plans:
- war goal and casus belli system for Mecatol Rex
- differentiate the Age of Dusk civilization from normal Primitives (unique contact events and diplomacy)
- more events, anomalies, relics and archaeology sites
- implement remaining empires from the new TI4 boardgame expansion as a midgame crisis
- content for the Galactic Community (forming Imperium after conquering Mecatol, forming the Council Keleres)

This mod overwrites the following vanilla files/values and might not be compatible with other mods overwriting those same files/values:

That said this is designed to be a lightweight mod that you can mix-and-match with your favorite gameplay and AI mods.

There is another mod on the workshop with TI prescripted empires. Interestingly, we both came to nearly the same conclusions regarding most of the empires. You can find it here:
