Psi Civics: Soul Eaters & Touched by the Shroud

The mod is currently in development, expansion expected. Feedback regarding the balance for Soul Eaters would be greatly appreciated.

As the name implies, the mod adds two civics. They are easily identified by their magenta coloration:

This is a simple civic designed in spirit of "mechanist", bringing empire closer to psionic ascension, at the expense of civic slot.

From the start, the empire will have free Zro deposit (Increases sensor range and FTL speed, reduced shroud contact cost).
Once empire unlocks its first ascension perk, it will soon get "Psionic theory" technology. In other words, the empire will be streamlined on its psionic ascension path and enabled to contact shroud more easily.

Empire must be spiritualist.

This civic is the main attraction. Unlike proper purifier civics, you are not barred from diplomacy, but you are strongly disliked by most other empires. Your goal is to stay on offensive, as your empire relies on fresh supply of xeno souls to sustain it. The more pops are in your empire, the faster your supply will be depleted, giving your pops production penalties and driving them to military frienzy.

The civic has associated governments and AI personality that is supposed to grow more agressive the hungrier it gets.

Soul Eaters also gain access to shroud-esque "Bleak Vortex" which is the source of their corruption. At the moment you can only purchase souls from it in exchange for planets when you hungry, or trade your soul stockpile for a temporal boon, however an expansion is planned.

Both civics are enabled for the AI (Although how well do Soul Eaters fare is uncertain at the moment. The mod also adds two perscripted empires - Wadwen Hollowers and Council of Allidar Magi that use the civics.

- Expanded Bleak Vortex events for Soul Eaters
- Special diplomatic phrases associated with the civics, especially for Soul Eaters
- Proper balancing
- Third civic - Cursed Refugees
- Submitting the text for proofreading once they are complete

The mod overwrites 2 ascension perks (for synthetic and psionic ascension) and one technology (Psionic theory) to deny it to Soul Earters. This might interfere with mods that overwrite entire files or somesuch.
