This perk allows you to become a true Fallen Empire, guarding the galaxy forever and creating new empires whenever you want.

NOTE: You do NOT need the colossus perk / DLC to do this! You will get a new ship class to fire "planetkiller" weapons.

Step 1: - Unlocking the perk
The perk itself is for ALL empires available, but you need at least 6 other perks unlocked.
It will unlock: technologies for new buildings, ships, edicts.


Step 2: - What will you get?
TECH: "Irdir"-class
A colossus with new weapons to terraform planets, spawn new empires and destroy megastructures (one weapon each ship, has no empire-limit).

TECH: "Arcane buildings"
These buildings produce a lot of resources and research points without any pops, similar to the basegame Fallen Empire buildings. Available after using the edict "Restart."

EDICT: "Restart"
Needed to use the Arcane buildings. All planets that are not your capital world will get their pops decreased to 1, doesnt matter what they had before.

This makes it possible to continue to play without managing a lot of pops and probably less gamelag when you spawn more empires. The buildings will be more than enough to keep up your entire empire + more. Megastructures not even counted in!
This is only for the buildings, everything else like spawning new empires will be possible without it. Its only for some counter-balance when having thousands of pops in the map.

EDICT: "Matrixintegration"
Removes ALL pops which dont belong to your main species, only optional use.

EDICT: "FallenEmpire difficulty"
Optional use. If you think you are already strong enough (especially in MP), then this edict will stop ANY research progression of your scientists. This can help to balance further fights against your spawned empires for some bigger challenge.


Step 3: - Spawning new empires
The Irdir-colossus has special planet-killer weapons to:
- destroy megastructures in the entire system (target the star!)
- terraform any planet except GasGiants or destroyed worlds into habitable worlds
- spawn new empires on habitable worlds

The new spawned empires will start with a lot of modifiers, resources and over 150 extra techs to have a quick start. It should only take a few centuries for them to rebuild, dependent on the RNG, AI behavior and location.
