Ethos Armies Mod for Stellaris

A mod to create more depth, flavor, and diversity in terms of armies and ground combat.

Steam Workshop ID: 700894316 By: Armakoir

OVERALL FEATURES:

2 new non-restricted archetype armies: Mechanized Assault Group, Airborne Assault Group
50 new Ethos restricted divisions and armies
- Players will have access to 7-8 divisions or armies; AI should use 6-7 different armies
- Except Pacifists, each pair of ethos has an associated division. After an empire’s first planetary invasion (defensive or offensive), the player will choose the Ethical focus of their ground forces.
Fanatic ethos unlock (via technology) improved Armies based solely on that ethos.
Vanilla armies re-envisioned (WIP).
Planetary Warfare rebalanced.
- “Planetary Fortifications” is now “Command & Control”
- C&C damage reduction between ~30% and ~9%
  More involved planetary invasions (WIP). Instead of more health and more armies, I will be implementing ethos-driven occupation strategies using events. An event based method creates more depth without having to rely on the AI.

ARMIES:

ETHOS DESIGN INSPIRATIONS:

Militarist – Somewhat generic militarist. Bonus stats vary.
Materialist – More mechanized divisions (ie Mech Warrior). High damage output.
Spiritualist – A religious interpretation of Spiritualist (blame years of W40k). High morale.
Individualist – More airborne and mech divisions (ie special forces). High morale damage (if bugs are ever fixed).
Collectivist – More infantry divisions (ie Red Army). High health.
Xenophobe – Varied division composition, purge and death squads. Good damage, good morale.
Xenophile – Varied division composition, somewhat ones with nature (ie monstrous cavalry). Good damage, good health.
