Just started to scratch the surface on this one and am already sure that this is 10 times better than Royalty, and I really liked Royalty. Let me give you a small story to show what I mean.

I start the game with a monotheistic cult of rural christian types who are deeply misogynistic and don't mind eating people meat. I let my colony grow and consistently ritually scar my new members, anyone not cowtowing to my demands becomes a slave working in the fields or mines. Eventually I get raided by another religious group. This upsets me. This upsets the colonists. This upsets the slaves. Revenge must be taken. I take my uber cybered and psychic leader to the front line, raid their area, enslave 14 people, ritually sacrifice 5 of them, and then the rest convert or are EVEN MORE SLAVES. I have so many skulls in my slave pen it isn't even funny. Oh, also we throw mad raves.

And this is one HYPER SPECIFIC avenue that you can go down. Technocratic ascentionists? Check. Raider druids? Check. Literally just Buddhism but with more smokeleaf? CHECK. This DLC is well worth the money and I can't wait to see what mods do with the framework it lays!
