Is there a list of all the new civics?

[Sheriff Godwin Law]

If they did a full dev cycle then it would have been more or less have time to do all of that other flavor including synthetic/PSI Hive Mind. Rather than limited to just one biological ascension peak Hive Mind like it is now.

Firstly, you're still assuming, on no evidence, that time constraints are what is preventing them from allowing Hive's access to Synthetic and Psionic ascension.

Two, you missed my point. I don't care what wondrous things they can accomplish for Hiveminds if they spend an entire developer cycle on it. That's still an entire developer cycle where they don't accomplish anything else.

Sorry to ask this but how long is a developer cycle? I've seen several different things on how long it is, from several months to a year to two years and even more so I'm a bit confused on this.

Now while I agree that the devs could have added some more stuff to Utopia, I also understand they were under a tight schedule (and most likely a tight budget!) so they couldn't do everything they wanted to do. So it is my guess (and since I lack any evidence, I'm just assuming here) that they'll add more stuff for the Hiveminds later on. I'm pretty sure that they wanted to see if it worked first before adding more stuff to the game.

I said focused on Hive Mind not to exclusive only Hive Mind feature.

Just like Utopia is not exclusive only ethic rework, superstructure, and etc...

Developer cycle can depend on various factor that you may not be aware of. Without knowing the full break down how it is run at Paradox at general. It is safe to assume that they work on a major version (1.4.1 to 1.5 for example) over a few months. While a smaller patch will take far less time. Both still have to be tested even if they turn out perfectly and among other things that may contribute to certain length of the patch cycles.

There isn't a youtube up yet for it. If you want to watch for yourself that is.

[PalmettoExplorer14]

I see. That makes sense.

Also noticed a lot of changes I'm going to have to make to my design plans for my various empires. Still, having a Xenophile Spiritualist Militarist Oligarchy with the Warrior Culture and Exalted Priesthood sounds good.

I'm just hoping that is just the tip of the mountain in regards to Civics!

 

[GC13]

I'm just hoping that is just the tip of the mountain in regards to Civics!

Yeah, they should add a few at a time, each patch, so we get a bit more variety. There's only a single Civic that requires Materialist? Two for Spiritualist, both of which are restricted to a single authority type each? More love, please.

 

[Augustus93]

Well that confirms it, the hive mind civics are disappointing.

hivemind's look so generic. almost on the edge with "boring"

 

[Talanic]

You forgot Mechanist, I think. Two mechanist civics, two spiritualist. They'll probably roll more out in time.

I note that Warrior Culture now gives -20% to army upkeep in addition to bonus damage. Consider that now we know that your number of assault armies is now capped (at number of pops of that species in your empire, which can be high, but still...) and even the bonus damage doesn't look quite as bad now. Between the need for more effective armies and the fact that you'll need defensive armies to quell unrest (and therefore will have more upkeep to defray - AND defensive armies will be everywhere, making enemies tougher nuts to crack), Warrior Culture now looks like a solid pick. Potentially.

Also, considering that Hive Mind is explicitly a limited game mode with several features turned off to simplify gameplay, I never expected much in the way of unique features for it...at least at its introduction. This is my first Paradox title, and I purchased it understanding that I would love it as it was (and I do!) but that I would love it more with each subsequent expansion. Some of these features will probably wind up significantly expanded on in later patches.

I agree. We need some more basic Spiritualist civics. And maybe some basic Xenophile civics.

 

[Sportsmaster]

A decent opening selection of concepts, but some civic names and texts could have been more interesting w/o sacrificing clarity. And "corporate dominion" is egalitarian? What?

Sexual pheromones: +15% atraction towards your hivemind ethoi, +25% foreign pop migration attraction. Unlocks planetary unique building "Eros flower"
Eros flower: +15% happiness, +50% inmigration attraction, acts like a magnet for foreign pops with open borders

Your hivemind has long employed this tactic in order to lure prey and servants for your race, the fact that we will now meet new intelligent species from other planets won't diminish the effectiveness of this millenia-old strategy"

Queens: Adds the unique "Queen" type of governor. These governors will provide growth and combat bonuses for your fleet and planets, as well as automatically generate armies. Incompatible with one mind
"This hivemind can offer a certain degree of autonomy to wondrously evolved creatures known as Queens, which in turn willl aid the brood by helping our species to multiply and by personally overseeing drones"

Hive-fleets: +200% fighter capacity for your carriers, +20% total fleet cap

Impregnation drones: +15% to popullation growth speed, can purge xenos trought "breeding larvae" process (think alien facehuggers). Said process will greatly increase the growth rate and energy output of the planet. -25% trust from other species
"Your hivemind have created a specialized type of drones whose sole purpouse is the rapid reproduction of your species by impregnating another animals and using their flesh to incubate and feed our yet to be born children, a practice that many other races find repugnant but that ensures your numerical superiority"

Benevolent harmony: Organic xeno pops can survive and assimilate into your hivemind. Your species & the assimilated ones can recieve happiness bonuses. However, xeno species will be vulnerable to unrest, factionalism and unhappiness until they have been properly assimilated into your hivemind ethos, making their integration a long-term type of investment. +25% trust building. Incompatible with devourer, psy vampires, genetic assimilation and impregnation drones
"Your hivemind was born due to a peaceful, non-invasive telepathic consensus. Individuals can submit or reject the hivemind willingly, preserving a high degree of autonomy.

Your main species and the assimilated species will gain an extra racial trait point each, and you will be able to genetically modify both species
"Your hivemind is a gestalt consciousness born out of a of a microscopic yet extremely complex symbiotic organism. Other species lended their neural cappabilities to your hive and in exchange your species altered their DNA, turning them stronger, healthier and smarter, while allowing them to rettainin a smidgen of their individuality. This millenia-old successful cooperation will be one of your biggest assets in this new foray into the stars"

Cibernetic consciousness: You can build your own pops as if they were synths (note: This is meant to be used as an alternative way to make your popullation grow, since your species pops do not recieve synth bonuses and still need food to sustain theirselves). You automatically assimilate synths from other species as if they were your own popullation. Unlocks materialist ascension path, robots. Incompatible with Psy vampires.
"Your species was created eons ago in order to aid a misterious, now extinct creator race. However, your now shared consciousness emerged unexpectedly, by linking simple minds into a greater whole. Now this artificial neural network will seek its way into the stars that gave birth to its long forgotten creators"

"This hivemind needs other lesser yet conscious minds to consume in order to power itself and reach its true potential as a multi-brained psiconic single entity. After consuming the mind of other lesser beings, their useless bodies will wonder aimlessly, flesh husks devoid of all sentience that will eventually succumb to fatigue and starvation"

Devourer: Eating xeno pops grants you extra food and minerals. +30% damage bonus for your armies due to terror tactics, -50% trust from every other species. Incompatible with benevolent harmony for obvious reasons.
"Your hivemind is presented with an insatiable hunger, a craving for bodies to consume in order to build a better world for your brood by employing the biomass of your consumed prey"

I really, really do hope that civics are greatly expanded, diversified and flavour-fied in the coming months, either by Paradox or by the modding community.

Ah, great, at last I can finalize my 1.5 government.

 

[PalmettoExplorer14]

I had hoped that Beacon of Liberty wasn't locked into Democratic authority and Egalitarian ethic.

Still we really need more Spiritualist civics.

 

[Neocv]

My first empire would be a Ditatorial Fanatical Spiritualis/Authoritarian, but I can change to Imperial to get Imperial Cult, I mean, how cool would be if my God Emperor also had the Chosen One trait.

 

[kolpo]

I like the new civics, I plan to make a sci fi society that returned to medieval feudal values in my first game. I see several civics that would fit, especially if you regard serfs as a type of slaves. I would begin with Aristocratic Elite and Slaver Guilds and later add Imperial Cult. Slaver guilds would represent knights with many serfs on their feudal realms. The ethics will be authoritarian, spiritualistic and militaristic. I would only rarely interfere in the sectors because those would be in the hands of powerful autonomous nobles. All planets should also have armies to represent the knights and their retinue. Caste system slavery would fit best, the energy producing pops would be the equivalent of medieval Flemish merchants and patricians.

 

[Magnificate]

And since I cannot access the suggestion forum for now, I will give an advance of what I have in mind here in this thread:

Hmmm... Some of these are decent ideas, but most feel too specific. That being said, I feel that Slavers Guild or Distinguished Admiralty are too specific as well and could use some reflavouring.

These civics I think can be considered for addittion to the base game after some testing:

Militaristic - Nationalistic zeal
+3 extra rivalries, winning wars provide unity for our people (proportional to the warscore), defense buildings generates unity
"A sense of national fervour permeates the entirety of your society, ready to challenge and defeat everyone who dares to declare himself enemy of your empire"

Fanatic egalitarian - Arsenal of democracy (incompatible with pacifist)
+15% fire rate in liberation and defensive wars, +15% maximum fleet cap to federations
"You know that liberty isn't free. Your society is mature enought to understand that the blood of your heroes and patriots is a necessary price to pay for your freedom"

Fanatic materialist - Mandatory trans-humanistic improvement
+5% research speed, +35% speed to genemod projects
"Evolution is a messy proccess that your political leaders have chosen to control by making gene mod not only widely avaible, but compulsory for their citizens, which must decide which upgrade they want for their children at birth"

Xenophile + Egalitarian - Prime directive
+50% to development speed to those species under your observation, -15% probability of failure to anomaly research
"Prime directive is held in order to ensure that primitive species develope their entire potential trought a natural course of evolution, a cautious approach that yields long term benefits for research and assimilation"

Egalitarian + spiritual - Communal lifestyle
-15% consumer goods and food consumption
"Your entire society lives a simple lifestyle that puts community service, artistic creation and spiritual pursuits above mere material gains, a practice that some might consider even utopian"

Imperial - Aristocratic elite
+4 empire leader capacity, +0.1 influence per sector with appointed governor
"Centuries of hereditary ruling structures have gave birth to a very cappable aristocracy with a penchant for political leadership"

Hive-fleets: +200% fighter capacity for your carriers, +20% total fleet cap
"This hivemind is speciallized in the control of small aircrafts and spaceships, which are directly controlled by its nervous system as if they were any other physical appendage"

 

[PalmettoExplorer14]

Dang. Seems this is a complete list of civics in the game.

I was hoping for more.

Well hopefully we'll get more civics in the future, especially for Spiritualists.

 

[GC13]

Well hopefully we'll get more civics in the future, especially for Spiritualists.

There are 25 regular Civics.

• Six are available to everyone or nearly everyone (one excludes fanatic egalitarians)
• Pacifists have one they can usually pick (provided they are not authoritarian), and a second that requires they pick xenophobe
• Authoritarian gets two (though one also requires Spiritualist) and locks you off from another
• Xenophile gets one
• Materialist gets one
• Spiritualist gets two, but both are restricted to a single Authority type (Oligarchy for one, Imperial for another)
• Militarist is required for four
• Egalitarian is required for three
• Xenophobe is required for one (which also requires Pacifist), disqualifies you for another, and its fanatic form disqualifies you from a second
• Democratic is the only way to get two, and is sufficient for three more
• Oligarchy is the only way to get two (though one requires Spiritualist), and is sufficient for four more
• Dictatorship is sufficient to get two
• Imperial is required to get one (though it requires Spiritualist and Authoritarian), and is sufficient for two more

All in all, I don't think Civics cover nearly enough things be very satisfying. Their pool of bonuses and unlocks really needs to be expanded, and the total number of them could stand to be quadrupled over time (the last thing we need is lame ones being introduced because Civics were added before good ideas for them could be had).
