DESCRIPTION
This mod is currently in the early stages of development.
Right now custom civics, traits, traditions, ascension perks, and a custom species named the Maltusian's with a custom name list.
To read the full lore/story written for the mod please visit:
In "The Rise of Envy," players embark on an epic journey in Paradox Interactive’s “Stellaris” through the Anti-Matter Universe of Olympus, a realm born from the cataclysmic Polarity Reversal that brought an end to the once thriving cosmos known as Luminara. As the inheritors of the fallen empires of Luminara, the Maltusians and their descendants now face a new era filled with challenges and opportunities.
The mod explores the lore and prophecies surrounding the divine being Apotheos, who established the Empire of Envy and seeded new life across Olympus. Guided by Apotheos, players must navigate a complex web of political intrigue, ancient mysteries, and emerging threats as they strive to forge a new destiny for their civilization.
Throughout their journey, players will encounter cosmic horrors, devouring swarms, rogue AIs, ancient forces, and other civilizations, all inspired by the rich and intricate lore of the mod. Unique civics and technologies will allow players to shape their empires according to their chosen path, drawing from the wisdom of the Purity Seekers, the Void Dwellers, the Anti-Matter Sages, and more.
"The Rise of Envy" offers a deeply immersive experience that combines the strategic depth of Stellaris with a gripping narrative inspired by the dramatic events of the Polarity Reversal, the Age of Luminescence, and the mysterious prophecies of Apotheos. Will you unite the galaxy and lead your civilization to glory, or will you succumb to the forces of envy and be consumed by the darkness that lies ahead? The choice is yours.
