Ancestors' Grudge - A Reliccreator Origin

This mod adds a new origin: Ancestors' Grudge and a lot of content that fits the theme of crafting your own relics. This origin is primarily meant for all the Urists out there - though it can be played with any species, the only correct choice is obviously a dwarve :)




"Long, long ago, in ages past our kin lived in wealth and prosperity. Their rule spread all across our world and even space, first among their colonies was our homeworld's moon, which became the industrial center of our ancestors' empire. There they bent metal to their will, continuing to hone their craft, and forged an empire of runes and durasteel.

Their greatest of achievements was the Relic-Forge, a mighty complex providing all the necessities to smith the finest of artifacts.

But wealth draws unwanted attention. And so it came to be that our ancestors were beset by many envious foes. Invaders, barbaric and uncivilized warmongers, started to rampage in our ancestors' territory. Unable do deter and confine this threat, a century-long devastating war broke out. During the final days countless of our ancestors laid down their lives in defense of the Relic-Forge... All in vain.

Their empire laid to ruin, billions perished in orbital bombardments, but not all was lost. After decades, survivors on our world slowly began to reemerge from the vaults that saved them from the apocalypse.

It has now been nearly 500 cycles since the fall and we are finally ready to reclaim what is ours by right."




You start with fewer pops, more blockers, a second planet in the process of colonization and a dream. As you uncover what was lost, you learn to "craft" relics and master Archaeotechnology.

• 2 origins: Ancestors Grudge and Ancestors Automata
  
• 2 "normal" relics
  
• 3 craftable relics, each has 8 possible passive modifers and 4 quality tiers leading to a lof of possible combinations
  
• ~50 events
  
• 1 digsite
  
• 2 techs for lategame archaeotechnology runs
  
• 1 building: the Relic-Forge with 4 upgrades, the center piece of your empire. Don't ever lose it.
  
• 1 arch nemesis that spawns alongside with you. Annihilate them!
  
• 1 Subterrarean civic that has the same effects as the origin of the same name for each empire type (hive, machine consciousness, individual robots, individual robots megacorp, normal megacorp and normal empires)

> Restore the relic world
> Upgrade the Relic-Forge to tier 3
> Employ Artifact Smith and Rune Artificers
> Wait for the "Forge Ritual" situation or activate the last relic you crafted or wait


> Award them to a leader, which gives the leader the relic's passive effect but stronger
> Recycle them for minor artifacts
> For exceptional relics only: reset truces, get random research options or casually double your income for a year

Whatever you do, its a one time use and after that you have to craft a new relic.

• Make machine one more distinct from standard origin
  
• Hive version
  
• Some more special events to further improve your craft, so called "Material Quests"
  
• A new asset for the anvil relic and some polishing for other assets
  
• Some minor artifact actions and peaceful/more archaeotechs. (maybe for everyone)
  
• Maybe some more craftable relics
  
• Maybe trade-action for the crafted relics
  
• Hive version!

• DLC requirements? Kinda none, but without Ancient Relics you will miss out on a lot of content
  
• Compatible with X? 99%, 1 overwrite in scripted triggers (is_subterranean_empire) to enable full functionality of the Subterranean civic
  
• Found a bug? Tell me. I cant fix which Im not aware of.
  
• You do (not) like X? Tell me. Im open for feedback and suggestions.
  
• You have an idea? Into the comments (Im still looking for hive and machine flavor)
  
• Why does it say "(or Food)" in the job description? For all those catalytic lovers out there

• Wait, relic-crafting and a big forge. Have I seen this before? Ye, from my first public mod. Though this is a completely new version from the ground up.
  After 2 years I refined my own craft of coding and mod making to bring this idea back to life with some much needed QA, fresh ideas and some help from Malthus
  
• Why are all your event IDs "mem_*", that's a More Events Mod thing?
  In the not so far future this will be integrated into MEM as a replacement for "From the Ashes" origin
  
• Small advice: use your capital as a basic resource planet and the forge as alloys/ consumer good printer. if it wasnt too obvious
  
• It may feel strange that you "consume" relics for buffs, but I want a system thats lets you craft not just once a relic and be done. Because after 3 relics
  your relic tab would be cluttered with minor effects and you would never use them over stronger relics. This is why I decided to to implement this pseudo-random
  relic generator that relics more like exchangable tokens. Try it and give me some feedback :)
  
• Unlike ingame tooltips, images here may be outdated
  
• Should you pick dwarfs portraits for this origin? Im not the one to tell you, but have you ever seen scifi mushrooms with hammers and anvils?
