- New Feature : Status Effects
In Addition to changing values like research or resources an event can apply or remove a status from a civilization. This enables us to create more specific followup events; block events that do not make sense for a civilization with this status or even create longer event chains.
The status can be seen in an info window when hovering with the mouse over the name of the civilization and as a symbol in the choice windows that would remove or add the status.
As a testrun we added the "Hedonistic Society" status that is granted in events like "Goddess of Love" , "Sexual Revolution" , "Pleasure Bots" , "Space Swingers" … etc
We added 7 follow up events that only get triggered for civilizations with this status.
We will add more different statuses in future updates.
