Spheres of influence
Spheres of Influence
This mod is a complete rework of the power blocs mechanic. Whereas before each power bloc had to select a unique identity, now each power bloc has a generic identity, with the unique modifiers from each power bloc being moved over to principles, and principles now being expanded to 10 maximum. There have also been changes to mandate progress in order to make it quicker although it maybe overtuned. If you have any feedback on balance tweaks I would be happy to hear it, and a special thanks to the following mod authors for their help and graciousness.
