This is less about a new civic and more of a rework of some of the current ones as it be nice if you could get 30% extra habitability from the Post Apocalyptic civic but in return make it so that you start off with less pops then normal but then also allow Post Apocalyptic to be able to be taken with the Mechanest trait ( I'm trying to make a empire that's based of the new Coalition of Ordered Governments from Gears of War 5)

Citizen Republic could use a rework where instead of soldier jobs giving your more unity and naval capacity I think a much more interesting effect would be that instead worker pops that are unemployed would then be deployed as Militia so then Citizen Republic could be really good towards the late game where you run out of building slots and districts to give your pops jobs.

Another instead idea would be to make a civic based on having another main species that is not syncretic so they can be leaders and researchers. (There's a few Empires that I wanted to try this out like one with Humans and Rochiods starting on a tomb world or a Star Wars based empire where you could have something like the Mon Cal and Quarran starting out on the same planet.)

An Idea I've had is this: "Exploration Corps/Guilds/etc" an empire that has a cultural history formed around exploration and discovery. Requiring at least one point of Xenophile and maybe a point of materalist. I can't really think of much for the effects of this civic but a rough outline would be: increased survey speed and anomaly discovery chance, Maybe starts with automatic exploration, perhaps a unique "Exploration Bureau" building or special capital job that generates a few points of society research, The down side could be increased emigration rate and decreased government ethics attraction due to people going off to explore other empires and changing opinions from their travels and/or discoveries.

Another suggestion:

Darwinian Hierarchy
Effects:
Leader Level Cap: +2
Leader XP Gain: +50%
Specialist Output: +10%
Leader Lifespan: -20 years
Monthly Unity: -10%

Requirements: Must have Oligarchic or Dictatorial Authority

Description: This violent and chaotic society is ruled solely by those who have proven themselves superior through might, cunning, and ruthlessness. Freedom is not a right, but a privilege granted only to those who seize it by any means necessary.

Another civic suggestion:

Eldritch Twisters
Effects: Every month, 1 xeno pop (if any are in the empire) is killed and a new pop of the "Prole" species in the empire is spawned in its place

Requirements: Must have the civic "Syncretic Evolution"

Description: These horrific beings are imbued with terrible power that allows them to bend and twist the minds and bodies of other sentients to make them the perfect thralls.

I came up with this to compliment several of my custom empires, there are the console commands "kill_pop x" and "copy_pop x" in the game, so modding it shouldn't be impossible since I can basically get the same effect via the console. This civic would just do the work for me that I already do manually.

Got more! Origin civics this time.

Ancient Architecture
Effects:
+15% Engineering Research
+20% Megastructure Build Speed
-20% planet build times
+20% Ship Hull points
+10% Armor Hit Points

Description: This species evolved on a world where the former inhabitants were extremely advanced, and left their advanced infastructure behind when they vanished. Having arisen beyond the pre-sapient state their forunners found them in, this species has devoted itself to the study and emulation of those who came before.


Ancient Archives
Effects:
+15% Society Research
-30% Species Modification Project Cost
+5 Stability
+10% happiness
Uplift tech as starter tech

Description: The discovery of the Archives was the beginning of civilization for this species. Through the knowledge of the Ancients, a perfect and peaceful society has always been the only reality for these people. Now the Archives tell them that their greatest test has begun: They must ascend to the stars from which the Ancients came, and bring enlightenment to all species of the galaxy.


Ancient Artifact
Effects:
+15% Physics Research
+20% Monthly Energy Credits
+20% Shield Hit Points
+10% Energy Weapon Attack Speed
+10% Sublight Speed
Nuclear Fusion as starter tech

Description: This society's history was radically changed by the discovery of a mysterious alien artifact millennia ago. Through vigorous study they have slowly unlocked its secrets, and their society has made great leaps forward as a result. Energy weaponry has been commonplace for centuries, and nuclear fusion the standard for power generation for decades. Now this fledgling empire reaches for the stars, convinced that nothing is beyond their reach.

Idea:

Civic Name: Enlightened Theocracy

Description: On the surface this society seems to be a thriving religion, but in reality the faith of the people has been guided to and placed in falsehoods crafted by the predecessors of the current leaders. These religious allegories, metaphors, and characters were meticulously crafted by those enlightened few in order to promote global unity, strong familial bonds, and a sense of community and purpose that the common people would not have otherwise. Through the faith all internal conflicts are resolved peacefully, all grudges end in forgiveness, and the staunchest rivals are made inseparable brothers.

Effects: Leader Level Cap +1, Research Speed +10%

Requirements: Must be some form of Spiritualist

Maybe do a civic only for coustom made empires that make every coustom Empire with that civic allied from the start and one that makes a coustom machine Empire allied with the contingency
