Lum's Extra Traditions (Beta) 0.4.0

Update 3 (v0.4.0) - 2/12/2023

 

Author's Note:

Holy revamp! There were a lot of changes to Stellaris which made me redesign a lot of features, notably relating to the Patriarchy leader traits. The foundation of Nymphomania has been laid and I intend to make the tradition finisher more interesting. The current finisher bonus is just a placeholder until then. As usual, please report any bugs as I didn't have the time to test the changes in a long game. (100+ years)
I mentioned in a previous post that I didn't intend for this mod to be gay-male only but, to be honest, I don't want to spend hours of my time to trawl through straight porn for the sake of inclusivity so I'll be shelving the Matriarchy idea.
I'm also shelving the Homosexual-Centric tradition because, while the "gay society" is an idealistic fantasy, it's actually really boring. You know what doesn't sound boring? Making sexy pacts with extradimensional shroud entities! Look forward to it in a future update.

Update 2 (v0.3.0) - 06/09/2023

 

Author's Note:

The new leader traits follow in the theme of utilising large pops and boosting Ruler stratum. I had a lot of ideas on how to do this with the Admiral but it would take so much time learning how to creatively use events that I just went with something basic. I really like the General trait because it actually gives them a use when you're not using them and it's a very strong trait as well since it mitigates a lot of the stability issues with high pops on the planets the General is stationed on. This will also give people an incentive to recruit more leaders up to the cap, something I never do in my campaigns.

I'm really happy with this one and the new finisher has a lot of horny energy for people who like to read the flavour text. Hope you all enjoy!

Update 1 (v0.2.0) - 21/08/2023

Author's Note: I came up with most of the concepts the day after my initial upload so it all came out of nowhere and wasn't even put on my list of planned items, but because what I had come up with was more complete than anything else I'd thought up at the time, I made it a priority to complete it first. Creating them and implementing them took way longer than I had anticipated, and it became glaringly obvious how little documentation exists for Stellaris modding. Most of what I learned came from trawling through old discussions on the Stellaris Modding Den.
