Stellar Monarch 2

About this game

Stellar Monarch 2: Old Dynasties is the first expansion to Stellar Monarch 2, a feudal space empire builder where you feel like the Emperor not a logistics officer. The expansion focuses on noble houses and internal politics of the Empire by introducing new mechanics and events.

Features introduced in the expansion: ### THE ROYAL FAMILY

Now all members of the ruling noble house have a predefined role and personality. They will frequently attend the audience with various requests, ideas and proposals. Some of those are beneficial and some just cause problems. ### INTRIGUE

New statistic called Intrigue, which can be raised by several event options. When it reaches a certain threshold, a bad event triggers and the intrigue escalates. Then the cycle repeats itself, each time getting more severe. ### VASSALS

Minor noble houses that are always vassals of a Great House. The Great Houses compete for the vassal contracts with each other. ### TRADITIONS

Each house has a tradition and its bonus is active if the relations with the house are cordial or better. ### RENEGADE HOUSES

Great houses can be declared renegade, which deprives them of their voting rights in the Council and they lose a substantial amount of F.E.D, shares, fiefs and authority. However If too many houses become renegade the people might start losing faith in the whole monarchistic system. You can make a Great House renegade as a punishment for rebelling or arbitrarily as a tyrannical action, but that would not be received well by other Great Houses. ### DEMOTE A GREAT HOUSE

Renegade houses can be stripped of their Great House status and replaced by a worthy minor house. The minor house would take over most of their assets.

DISSOLVE THE GREAT COUNCIL

A new option to dissolve the Great Council. While it's not cheap and would cause a turmoil in the Empire, when successful makes you the sole person who can Vote.

NEW POLITICAL AGENDAS

Two new political agendas "Desire vassals" and "Desire F.E.D. shares". There is also a way to persuade the house to change some of their political agendas.
