Ascension Perks Broadened 4.0

Ascend even further beyond as your empire becomes the powerhouse of the galaxy with these powerful new ascension perks!


This mod adds over 70 new Ascension Perks to the game, 8+ of which are further extensions of vanilla perks, 10+ of which are entirely new creations with different effects, and 50+ of which are tiers 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the other perks. You can choose at the start of the game to enable or disable the tiered perks and if you change your mind you'll find a new edict that lets you make the choice again.

Currently this mod has up to date Japanese, Russian, and Chinese translations.
Here is the Italian translation mod updated by another user so it may be out of date.

The Chinese Translator can be found here if the translation has any issues or needs updates: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/profiles/76561198330568006/

If you want to provide a translation for this, please leave a comment on the mod comments, or leave a comment on my profile page with details.

I highly recommend you grab a mod to expand your ascension perk slots. If you want a mod that allows an amount of customisation in the difficulty of getting new perks, check out my mod: Repeatable Ascension Perks - Here, for a mod that provides a customisable experience for unlocking new ascension perks

This perk will increase your navy capacity and fleet command limit by a flat amount, slightly decrease your upkeep costs, and then additionally increase your navy capacity. Don't complain if you end up with too many ships.

Executive Overhaul - Edicts can be pretty expensive, with an overhaul to the way executive administration works, you can squeeze in one or two more edicts before your unity takes a hit.

Prioritised Diplomacy - With this perk you'll gain extra envoys, and a boost to your subject trust cap.


Please direct balancing feedback and any issues with bugs or compatibility on their respective discussion thread

This should be compatible with most other mods as it shouldn't overwrite any other files from vanilla or other mods.

This mod hasn't been balanced very well, it's mostly designed to make your empire more fun to play. Some perks may be too strong, some too weak. If you wish to give input on balancing please do so on the discussion thread labelled "Balancing"

More Ascension Perks which provides some cool perks that do things I've not seen other ascension perk mods do.


Expand planet uses a vanilla icon. I couldn't come up with a nice looking icon so I just re-used the hydrocentric expansion icon. Might cause an issue if you don't have the DLC, but I think it should be fine.

Thanks to everyone over in the Stellaris modding discord for the help they gave in helping me figure out how to make a mod more complex than changing some vanilla files.
