Anbennar Estate Ideas

Compatible with the Steam and BitBucket versions of Anbennar (for now, please comment if it breaks).

Small mod to add Idea Groups for each of the common Anbennar Estates, Mages, Adventurers and Artificers.

All Idea groups and their policies are complete, some might be kinda unbalanced, please comment if you think so.

Takes code and graphics from a no longer updated mod "Anbennar Unleashed – Idea Groups".

Please be aware that I took one colonist off the Expansion Idea Group and replaced it with governing capacity, which also fits the Expansion theme. This was done for balance purposes as colonization in Anbennar already happens very very fast, but I’ll revert this change if people end up hating it.

As always, feel free to comment any suggestions, critiques or issues you have with the mod.
