No Ethics Spawn Bias

Current Version Released 6/22/26, Compatible with 4. 4 Discord Server for my mods Official Website for my mods WIth this mini-mod, ethics of randomly generated AI empires are more evenly weighted to appear, so there’s less of a chance you’ll be surrounded by hostile empires as in vanilla.

The devs said this was done to make the game more interesting from their perspective. I personally don't find this interesting and more tiring than anything, so I made this for myself. Due to RNG, it's still possible to spawn in a galaxy full of jerks, but ideally the chances are more balanced. If you’re interested in how the code works so you can adjust it yourself, basically, each ethos is assigned a certain weight value in the 00_ethics.txt file that influence how likely they are to appear. For example, most ethoses are assigned values of 150 and 100 for their fanatic and non-fanatic variants respectively. However, the Militarist ethos has weight values of 250 and 150 for fanatic and non-fanatic variants respectively, meaning militarist empires are more com
