3.8 Version is out ! With a Leader for each Empire !
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2973772173

[h1] Important note [/h1]
This mod will not be compatible with 3.8.+ (I sincerely doubt it, simply due to the new Leader mechanics and new Empire customization options). As soon as the new update launches I will be working on the 3.8 onward version of this mod, this mod will remain "here" as a pre-3.8 version
I'll let you know once the new version will release !

Hello, this mod should be retro-actively compatible !

Lol! @[kk_Leg] kRIEGER MVP, thank you for the update.

So no more red triangles !

The 3.7 problem should be solved ! Just released it for the 3.7.4 patch and corrected it in the directory for 3.7

I can't play without your mod, thanks a lot!

Btw, since this mod does not need to be updated that often maybe replacing the game version in the descriptor from 3.7.2 to 3.7.* might be a good idea, that way it will show updated for the whole 3.7 version. This is really not absolutely necessary but is some OCD I have with that warning triangle lol.

Thank you, very grateful for your mod!

Indeed ! Thanks a lot for your comment, fixed it now !

It still shows the latest update on Dec 4, 2022. It doesn't look like your update went through (your other mod seems to have been updated correctly).

Update is live !
Let me know if you have any issues

Went back to Irony and it's cut most of them out again which is a tad annoying. Oh well

I did a bit of a re-jig without irony MM and it seemed to work ok. Only 4 of the Toxoid empires not showing but all the rest did. Have cut my custom empire list down a bit with only this one, V-Mods and Electroids now in use

@[kk_Leg] kRIEGER Maybe. I don't know about how others feel, but I prefer each species to be visually unique. Something just feels off when you see two empires a galaxy away have the same portraits, considering how many options exist in the species creation. If it's possible to have no overlap that would be very appreciated :)

@moonraker65 : It might be a load order issue, as the only changed file is the one with the empire selection, some mods which add or modify this file might create issues. Are you playing with many "custom made empires" (even a mod as Gigastructural Engineering might be relevant, as it adds some Empires too) ? Could you perhaps write in "Bug Report" with the mods you are using ?
I would recommend that you put my mod last in the load order if you want all the empires, alternatively I would recommend that you put it first if you use some other mods which might need some specific empires.

@all : sorry for the late reply !

@Ulthar : Currently not, but I will be looking into the how-to if their is perhaps a "smart way" of doing it efficiently

@Magirock : Thanks a lot for your kind words ! Feel free to share it with your buddies !

@Big Squeep : There might be some portrait overlaps as I know that I picked some, which already had a "vanilla Empire". As far as I know, there is no priority rule other then the fact that they "might/might not spawn". Do you consider this a problem ?

I have a few species mods in my list but for some reason not all of them including this one are showing in the empire selection screen at game start. They always used to but the last couple of patches seem to have changed something and they no longer show up. Wondering if it's load order issue

Yo this is dope! Do any of the portraits overlap with PDX's empires? Aka would there be portrait overlap? Or do your empires take priority for spawning?

As someone who lacks creativity to make a compelling custom empire you have absolutely NO idea how grateful I am to you. Thank you, I have been looking for a mod like this ever since I started playing this game.

Thank you so much, this is absolutely amazing and you are really talented!

Would you consider adding custom namelists? There are so many outdated namelists on the Workshop, I would love to have a mega collection. I'd be happy to help with the content.

[3.6] Update is out !
Also now 130 Empires as 10 Toxoids have been added !

Exactly what I was looking for. Extremely tired of default empires and far too lazy to make a ton of my own. Thanks!

How so ?

I propose a separate "Humans" category too.

Nice. Look forward to it

Currently working on 10 new Toxoid empires !

Any news on an update ?

Thanks for doing what I've thought about but been to lazy to do.

Very good that now gives me about 300 playable empires so lots of choice

OK thanks I'll give it a go

Indeed

This shouldn't clash with other empire collection mods then

As of the created empires there is no other "Human/Sol" Empire, there should be no risk of that which isn't already in the base-game

if a player plays Earth (SOL) for example does this mod run risk of more humans or does it recognize and avoid duplicated empires?

Have fun purging them !

Awesome, been needing some new dudes to fill out the galaxies with

Every Empire is enabled to do so, as spawning 120 Empires at once might be problematic at the game start, but throughout a few games you should have seen most of them

Nice, are they guarenteed to spawn?

awesome mod.. u are master sifu .. like your mod and make more variant empire in my vanilla stellaris

@Yo Jimbo Thats awesome. My pleasure !

@ulthar I see yes

seen your post on reddit. Thanks for the mod my man!

The name lists too though. Something more atlantean and less carribean.

Oh yeah I totally see what you mean, the aquatic voice-advisors definitely sounds like a "we sail at dawn sailor"
I think i see what you mean, i'll have a look at it on the occasion !

Aquatic would be most appreciated. The devs thought we'd want Sea Shanty pirate names for some reason.

However, if you picked your own favorite ones and made name lists, maybe just do a few?

I wish I knew how to make a mod list. I almost always use an admixture of WH40K, Elven, and Starcraft/star trek names that ends up being my default with the exception that every mineral heavy planet has "Forge" at the end, and every science rich planet has "Academy"

Gerne doch ! jedes Feedback ist willkommen !

Hey danke dir für deine Arbeit, werde es mal testen :-)

Glad you do ! Not sure about the name-lists, will take some thoughts about it. Did you have a specific Empire in mind ?

I love it. Would you consider doing name lists for these? even a few would go a long way.

Thanks a lot ! It wasn't always easy to find the inspiration but glad that you enjoy it !

This is great! I also like that this isn't just regular dump of some random empires, but rather that you went the extra mile and gave the a backstory and unique names. Well done!
