[Deprecated] The Zenith of Fallen Empires

The Zenith of Fallen Empires 1.0 will continue to work with Game Updates 1.9, while 3.0 will be supported beyond the 2.6 Federations update.



The Zenith of Fallen Empires retraces the steps of the Fallen, their rise to the pinnacle of civilization and military might. Going back several millennia, the galaxy was dominated by massive, technologically advanced weapons with each ‘Fallen’ Empire trying to outdo the other at every opportunity, inventing new weapons, each of them more dangerous than the last. Many great battles were fought - it was to ascend or be wiped out and forgotten. In this mod you will be able to research brand new technologies that will take you, and the galaxy, on the same path once more. You will have a chance to reach the zenith of technological advancement, and perhaps one day, become what the Fallen Empires were.

Q: I didnt get notification that Unbidden spawned and I cant discover them?

A: As indicated in Compatibility, any mods you have that overwrites the crisis events file will introduce incompatibility, and that incompatibility being the scripted contact that triggers for normal empires when a crisis spawns. New empire types from this mod are originally not included in that list, and thus I have overwritten that vanilla file for this specific reason. If another mod overwrites my overwrite, you won't be able to contact crises and the event chain won't fire in the normal way. Either use 'Communications' command or create your own compatibility patch that combines the changes in my overwrite with the overwrite of whichever mod that introduces the incompatibility.

Q: How does Ascended Empire's naval capacity work?

A: I used codes to 'bind' Ascended Empires to Awakened Fallen Empires to receive hard-coded benefits such as diplomatic options, attitudes, subject types and AI behavior. The naval capacity of Ascended Empires is therefore tied to the naval capacity of Awakened Fallen Empires as a result, which I have altered in the defines file to be 2000 instead of 600 in the vanilla game. The trade off has been either a naval cap and all of the above benefits, or no naval cap and no benefits. You are free to alter this naval cap as you see fit, and as of 1.8, AE naval cap now increases by each planet owned.

Q: What happened to your daily updates?

A: Unfortunately, I am self-employed in real life and I don't have a stable income. Mod creation takes time, effort, inspiration, and artistry - it's not so easy to be inspired when you're constantly worried you're in the red. As much as I would like to keep providing good content for you guys, there comes a point where time is costing money and I can't keep giving that away anymore. If you really enjoy the mod and would like to give something back to the mod creator, check out my Patreon[www.patreon.com] to see how you could help, or visit Paypal[www.paypal.me] if you prefer that instead.
