New Trait Suggestions, Opinionated, Indifferent, and Neutral Ethics

[Dinkelman]

So I found this empire. In my idea this would be possible if the species has the Opinionated trait. How this came to be without mods or anything, I am not sure. Maybe some pops on a planet acquired an extra ethos, and then the planet became an independent empire, earning the ethos of those pops.

As of the Banks update occurring early next month no populations will be able to have more than one ethos.

Not sure how that works with your idea to allow a fourth ethos in exchange for a trait point.

That is the old bug where a Event - in particular pre-FTL observation ones - add a Ethic.
That Fanatic Spiritualist and Xenophobe could fit the results of Agressive Observation.

The only thing I could think about is a hardcoded version of Ethos Atraction (always pulled to Spiritualist).
However, that suffers the same issues as 1.4 Deviants: A positive to no-issue for you, but a heck of a negative for everyone of another Ethic conquering your pops.

traits don't make much sense to affect your empire, because what happens when you get a xeno leader? they're not opinionated, why is your government still behaving that way. etc.
