Let Corporate Dominion civic exist despite MegaCorp being installed -- just change its flavor text/name

[anaphysik]

The Corporate Dominion civic shouldn't be disabled while MegaCorp DLC is enabled. Instead, it should just have its name/flavor text reworked to sound more generally-applicable.

A) Having a civic like Corporate Dominion available to non-Corporate empires increases the amount of empire roleplay, as it can be combined with the normal (non-Corporate) civic list to create novel empires
B) likewise, it increases the potential mechanical diversity of empires
C) Even though the current flavor text is nearly-identical, in reality there's a difference between being organized as a corporation and being controlled by one -- Corporate authority represents a corporate republic (government organized as a company), whereas the Corporate Dominion civic should really represent a corporatocracy (government controlled by corporate interests, as a form of plutocracy)
D) creates less feel-bad when someone buys MegaCorp and finds out that their previous Corporate-Dominion using empire is no longer recognized as valid
E) you can re-enable the platypi empire (fun fact: one of my friends bought the game almost solely because they saw that empire). Paradox, c'mon, you've got one on your logo, give the platypi some love again


E.g. something like

civic_corporate_dominion:0 "Corporate Interests"
civic_corporate_dominion_desc:0 "This society's government is deeply tied to private commercial space interests, with little left to the public sphere."

would be a reasonable flavor tweak.

Agree
Maybe using a similar Text like Mining Guild, just with Corporation instead of Mining Guilds in The Text, for example

Honestly, corporate dominion is just great. One of the best civics out there. It's a shame it gets greyed out with megacorps.

I wouldn't chabge a things, description is good. One thing is having a megacorp ruling over a world, another having an empire with a strong corporate sector financing space race (like we have nowadays)

Maybe they delete the civic to avoid Elon Musk references xd

[MordridBlack]

either what was suggested above, or just shift it into the Megacorp Government type

 

[Trivium]

Agree, it was one of the best civics

And now it's one of the worst? Why spend a civic point for something you get easily for a single 3000 RP?

One more idea: when you Impose Ideology as a MegaCorp, your victim doesn't turn into a MegaCorp -- instead, it gains the Corporate Dominion civic, because it is a non-corporate government controlled by a megacorp (you).

Thats an interesting idea, or better, your Uplifted Primitive empires get that, would make more sense, because it would be similar to a satelite state of Russian federation, with oligrachs on Power, despite officual democracy
