Origins Civics

"From the depths of the Pacific to the edge of the galaxy"

This mod explores the concept of origin civics: permanent civics that alter the game start and/or introduce a new way to play the game. These civics add new elements such as non-ideal starts, quest chains, and/or mid-game bonuses to enhance your style of play as your build an empire amongst the stars. Mid-game bonuses appear about 100 years into the game and add additional modifiers to the permanent civic you've chosen.
