Playable Fallen Empire

@minilaaaaaaaaa,

Check out the previous comments or come to the ZoFE Discord server to find me.

There is a bit of an explanation there.

why is a single ring segment my capital??

ahh thank you so much

@minillaaaaaaaa,
You can make your custom empire spawn in the game as a fallen empire (through this mod).

Does this make your custom empire spawn in the game

@KaptaynAmerica,
Well, I am thinking of putting an option to players who don't want to play with any kind of debuff and another option for those who kinda of wanna do.

Currently, in this version, if the Player is not able to awaken himself before endgame, then before endgame approaches, they get 5-6 ascension perks (so that they can awaken using those APs).

Also, since Hive Mind FEs are also coming, I may have to flesh out the mod a bit more.

Again, thnnx for your valuable feedback. Generally, people don't give much feedback.

Piracy immunity is interesting. I don't think an FE should be immune, but perhaps just a reduced chance? I wonder what that change was that you mention. I've tried my hand at Stellaris modding and it is difficult, so I appreciate the work you're doing :)

I wouldn't remove the debuffs either- an FE should have a good amount of trouble reawakening but it shouldn't feel impossible (at least that's how it feels to me). Just a reduction in how bad those debuffs are may be the way forward, just to take the pressure off a little.

@KaptaynAmeryka,
Yep, I do think the buffs are too much.

One or two versions ago, the FE's had permanent immunity towards piracy, empire splitting off etc. But now something changed, and I can't figure out how. I will reduce/remove the debuffs as the next update (Stellaris 4.0) rolls out.

Thank you for your feedback.

Regarding compatibility, I haven't notice anything significant. I don't know what the load order with ZOFE is supposed to be but I do have this mod and the patch following ZOFE:

PFE-ZOFE Patch

The initial debuffs received as a fallen empire make it exceedingly difficult to progress at all and climb back to ascension. These early debuffs often seem to result in colonies splitting away from the main empire. The debuffs, if any should even be applied, should be less than half of what they are now. The incredibly expensive production costs and lack of unity and other resources often lead to unrecoverable scenarios with piracy, crime, deviancy, instability, and ultimately failure.

I would like to see some reductions to the debuffs to make the early game a bit more realistic. This is a fallen empire that is trying to reawaken, not some civilization on the edge of apocalypse.

Other things I've seen: Many early technologies can still be researched. Spelling/grammatical errors.
