this is a great mod, works perfectly and lowers the cost of claims by 50%. i want such a mod because i like to do some imperialism. lowering claims by 50% does not make them too cheap that they are worth nothing, you still need the ascension perk "interstellar dominion" to lower the claims cost by another 20% and then often you find a situation where you sit in an empire with 1000 influence and can claim all the territory of who you want. great mod. i put an award
