what @rostedthegamer said.
What if i am an empire that is less fond of talking .... exterminate -- exterminate ... more raiding less talking

would it be possible to add a CB so u can war for a empires relics as well rather than through trading.

Vanilla only

Does this only affect the Vanilla relics? Or would it hypothetically work on other Modded relics?

yo you can trade the key relic wtf

@TheChuckler
Gullis Modifiers is what you are searching for (you could probably extract the war for relic feature out of his mod)

@mczu no it isn't lmao that's only for The Galatron

@thechuckler im pretty sure we can, its in base game

it would be great if we could also go to war over them ;)

@Era [FR] thank you for your awesome mod! ^^

@alankraskow Thank you very much

Hey I noticed that relics from Grand Archive are missing. I made a list and will add them to my edit, but I figured out I'll post it here in case you would like to include them in your mod too ^^

r_the_modularium
r_flowmetal_alloy
r_crystallinus_diffuser
r_everchanging_stone
r_pulsestone
r_gavel_of_the_tribunal
r_entangled_relay
r_prototype_vir_core
r_propagandosphere
r_executus_compendium
r_the_pattern_maker
r_vaporous_mega_orchid
r_tiyanki_matriarch_nerve_core
r_preservation_chamber

r_celestial_chart_0
r_celestial_chart_1
r_celestial_chart_2
r_celestial_chart_3
r_celestial_chart_4
r_mutated_voidworm_nest

It definitely helps if you're a machine intelligence and have Baol or Zroni as a precursor!:P
and exchange it for a relic that will be of more use to you!
In a game session with more than 4 people, this is worth GOLD! :P

makes perfect sense, thank you

Yes, but it will require a very large investment.

can we request relics from other empires?

merci chef
