if you want war so much, go and attack a fallen empire for dark matter power. there's a youtube guide specifically for speed rushing war with a fallen empire within 40 years of game start if you like (infeasible if ZoFE : Hard or Veteran submod is subscribed), you can also adjust research speed to the lowest value at campaign settings if you're too impatient to play the mod as intended.

and if you're still too impatient, just use console commands to unlock the tech requirements, but don't blame me if something breaks from skipping the tech tiers and going straight for ascension theory, dark matter power, and mega-engineering.

command console window ( ~ )

research_technology tech_ascension_theory
research_technology tech_dark_matter_power_core
research_technology tech_mega_engineering

or simply type "research_all_technologies" and pray the game doesn't crash.

if the mod is adjusted so that anyone can become an ascended empire just from being a belligerent war thirsty empire, then every AI empire in the galaxy will be an ascended empire within 50 - 100 years, and you'll end up as a vassal.

the way that zenith of fallen empires is structured right now is surprisingly well balanced for such a large and comprehensive modpack and it doesn't need any "radical" changes from you. this mod is made for everyone, not just for you.

Oh, some misunderstanding has arrived. Now it's give player guaranteed tech from the event, i want to say that its to fast. Anyway, the question is not that: "just for me" - the question is: "Are there those who are also interested in it. ". The answer is obvious,pitiful solipsist.
