Description:

This is an addon for Create-a-Culture, giving the modded ‘Aruan’ race their very own Culture tech tree.

⭐ Gives the Aruan the full Create-A-Culture treatment: their own Culture tech tree, which includes…

• 3 Presence Bonuses
• 2 Focuses
• 4 Memes
• 1 Monorace Focus

⭐ That’s a total of 10 unique Culture techs to customize your faction with.

⭐ Project Power and Majesty . . . The Aruan culture is defined by benevolant rulership, charismatic diplomacy, and servitude from others.

⭐ Rule with Honor . . . Aruan culture supports expansion through vassalship and puppet states, not as a conquerer, but as a protector who maintains good relations with his or her vassals. The Aruan culture demands the strong dominate the weak, but also to protect and nurture the weak once under your rule.

⭐ Sway Kings and Nations . . . Aruans are composed and charismatic: their techs can create the best emmissaries in the game. They can also increase your Pacifism score, which reduces foreign ruler aggression. With these two effects, you can vassalize nations without making your other neighbours hate you. You’re simply taking what is rightfully yours, after all.

⭐ Enslave Only the Guilty . . . Lastly, slavery in the Aruan culture has a unique twist: their techs lower global slave submission, but increase the submission bonus granted to prisoners you enslave via the Slaver building. Aruans see slavery more as indentured servitude, a rightful punishment for criminals and war prisoners. As such, ‘innocent’ slaves (like those traded from other nations) are treated much better than usual and will demand better treatment. Enslaved prisoners will not.

⭐ Requires the mod Aruan Race: Workshop Link
⭐ Requires the mod Create-A-Culture and its requirements: Workshop Link
⭐ Load Order should look like this:

• 1. Extended Boostables
• 1. Aruan Race
• 2. Create-A-Culture
• 3. CaC Addon – Aruan

️• Made for v70.
️• If you already had the Extended Boostables script enabled on a save, this CaC addon can be added mid-save. The slaver effects won’t work on ongoing saves that didn’t have Extended Boostables script enabled when the save was first created.
️• Can be safely removed mid-save, just refund your techs first to get your Gov points back. *Extended Boostables, however, should probably not be removed mid-game.
️• Should be compatible with everything that doesn’t modify slave conversion code (no mod does, to my knowledege).

💜 Big credit to @Aracz for the Aruan Race mod and their fantastic feedback on the initial Aruan tech concepts.
