May not work well with SAP if your ruler changes.


Machine Ascension adds ascension paths to machine empires that provide new and unique gameplay features. Currently there are 2 ascension paths centered around the leader system.



Modular Personality Matrix -> Sapience Mastery
This ascension path unlocks the leader-merging/leader-cloning system. Combine various leaders with different traits to create the ultimate superleader. Finishing this ascension path also provides a chance to obtain behavioral data from space battles that may be used to create shell images of enemy leaders, gaining access to their exotic traits.


Subunit Amalgamation Procedures -> Gestalt Mastery
This ascension path amalgamates all your leaders to become a part of your ruler. Amalgamated leaders use special and powerful module traits instead of having normal traits, and level up along with your ruler. As your game progresses, activities such as space battles and planetary invasions will have a chance of providing insight, special projects that will upgrade your module traits.



Compatibility patch for UI Overhaul Dynamic here.
The leader merging function will ignore traits created by other mods.
Subunit Amalgamation Procedures cannot stop other mods from adding traits to leaders.
