Syncretic Slavery Strata

This mod is started as an attempt to "fix" some of the rather, in my opinion, restrictive changes made to slavery options after 2.2. Where the Syncretic Evolution and Slaver Guilds civics could not be used with each other anymore.

It has since expanded to include a number of other features.

It attempts to add a little more player choice to the game's slavery options by making the following adjustments:

• The Slaver Guilds civic no longer enslaves a locked percentage of your population. Instead it gives access to a "Trafficking Regulations" Policy that lets the player scale the percentage of their enslaved population from as low as 20% to as high as 60%.
  
• Removes the mutually exclusive restriction that was added between Syncretic Evolution and Slaver Guilds. From what I've seen this restriction apparently broke a play style option for a few people, including myself. This essentially means that you can actually enslave a portion of your syncretic species, rather than be restricted to the all-or-nothing options the base game now locks you to.
  
• Adds an alternative to Syncretic Evolution called "Coexistent Evolution" that doesn't have the Syncretic Proles species trait. Mostly because I feel the vanilla civic is a bit cliche in its theming, and in reality two species evolving along side each other wouldn't be restricted to that one trope every time. Plus it opens up a trait point to better customize the secondary species.
  
• Adds a new civic for Hive Mind empires called Driven Coalescence. Starting the empire with a second species and the ability to assimilate other organics from game start much like the Driven Assimilators for Machine Empires.

This mod alters the following vanilla features:

• The vanilla Syncretic Evolution, Slaver Guilds, and Indentured Assets civics.
  
• The "has_encountered_other_species" scripted trigger.
  
• The "generate_start_pops" start of game effect.
  
• The assimilation and purge citizenship types and living standards.

Any mod that does the same will likely conflict.
