Become the Saurian

For Stellaris 4.0.* - English only - Not Ironman Compatible

Become the Saurian is the official sibling mod to Become the Dragon, giving you the tools and features to play as a full fledged Saurian empire or spawn a Saurian AI to rival your own conquests and spice up the game. Whilst many features are similar to BtD, Saurians are a bit different from Dragons and have different bombardment stances and bonuses that focus more on cunning strategy rather than brute force and devastation.

- 1 new civic: Saurian Culture - requires both Militarist and Authoritarian + Saurian species and not a Megacorp authority (practically a must for any conqueror Saurian empire, this civic provides many bonuses to the player - it is quite powerful, so it might not be as balanced as other civics but hey, they are meant to be superior to most other species after all);

- 1 new species trait: Saurians (same as the civic, provides many powerful bonuses fit for Saurians. I personally use Xenology and some other species trait mods to add negative traits alongside this, but for the sake of not compacting everything into one trait, I'll leave it as it is. You can install Xenology yourself if you want to add those traits as well);

- 3 new orbital bombardment options: Saurian Ambush Tactics, Saurian Destabilization Tactics and Saurian Purge Tactics (all exclusive to the Saurian Culture civic, these stances are more unconventional and specialized than the vanilla stances, allowing you adapt to different planetary situations and decide how you want to approach conquest. All of them are available to you regardless of ethics or civics);

- 1 new AI personality: Relentless Dominators (exclusive to the Saurian Culture civic, this personality is automatically taken by AI playing as a Saurian empire, being more aggressive than your standard Hegemonic Imperialists while also having a greater focus on shields to make use of their civic bonuses. Saurians will always prefer subjugation over conquest when possible) - almost identical to what Dragons have at the moment, I might make a few changes depending on user feedback;

- Ability to use Livestock slavery without the Xenophobe ethic as a Saurian.

This mod should be compatible with pretty much everything except mods that modify bombardment stances and slavery types.
