Reach the Stars, Explore the Void : A Stellaris inspired quest of research and exploration

Voting is open
Oh I just can't decide between cold and calculating robo faction, or fanatical necromancer romans.

[X] Eternal Rome
[X] Back from the Ashes

Therefore I'll vote both!

The Back From The Ashes isn't a plan, it is one of the options that i voted for because approval voting was allowed, and for some reason SV removed the spaces so all the other things i voted for look like one.

Make plans for that if you want, i couldn't come up with names for plans so i voted for the options individually.
 
Right, still voting for both but making sure the steel and reason plan is an actual plan.

[X] Eternal Rome
[X] Age of Steel
-[X] Back from the Ashes
--[X] Created a mad god of steel and circuits. Where old leaders fell, we gathered under the Chosen One, stole the secrets of the lord of steel, and broke its army of bots. Glory to our leader, savior of Mankind !
-[X] That they are the worst monsters to ever be (Totalitarian empire, next turn will use Atrocities as a point buy system, war crimes will happen, but I will not describe them)
-[X] 01010110 01101001 01100011 01110100 01101111 01110010 01111001 00001010 (Cyborg/Synthetic/Adeptus Mechanicus)
[X] Age of Logic
-[X] The End of History, Broken
--[X] Learned scientists and technicians, bound to satisfy the selfish whim of their employers. Disgusted by mankind's unlimited greed, they turned the automated systems of their overlords against them. Down with the rule of greed ! Steel and Reason !

You have chosen two Origins in Age of Steel, is this what you wanted or is this an aproval vote for 2 options ?
 
[X] The Eagle and the Snake
-[X] Back from the Ashes

The Empire rose as a rejection of the madness of the past, to destroy the madness of the past and build back a new, better world. For our foolish ancestors...

Current tally, kinda scoft.
Vote will continue for one day.
If there is no clear majority, the voting will be consolidated into the most popular plans and extended another day.
Fell free to ask my about the differents options and combinaisons, I would not want people to be dissapointed by not getting what they expected from their vote.

Okay, vote closed.
Since we are still within a one vote margin of the two top options, it is time for a consolidation vote !

[] Plan Mars the God of War
-[X] Human Precursor
-[X] We were the survivors of an early colony on the red planet that our cousins call Mars.
-[X] That they are distant and uncaring
-[X] Roma regina! (Romain)

Space romans from mars (the justification will be that their ancient culture is the indirect ancestor/inspiration of the greco-romain culture) invaded earth in the early 20th century.
Expect military hierarchy, schizo tech and a focus on the culture chocs between the martian and earther culture.

[] Eternal Rome
-[X] A Gift from Heavens
--[X] The gifts were the secrets of life and death. How to change a man, turning him into a being immune to age and illness. How to turn the dead into obedient, untiring servants. How to twist and shape life as gods. With this, we claimed earth.
-[X] That they are distant and uncaring (You're an empire in a more realist fashion, horrors will come from corruption and mismanagement, not fanaticism and vile intent. Next turn will use Divergence as a point buy system)
-[X] Roma regina! (Roman)
The romains before their fall (probably meaning the Eastern Romain Empire in the 14th century) get a gift from heaven allowing necromancy, zombie armies, near immortality and various life modifications. They use it to save the Empire and progressively conquer the World.
Expect patrician politiques, questions on mortality, a very different tech tree and a recognizable, but alien culture.

[] Age of Steel
-[X] Back from the Ashes
--[X] Created a mad god of steel and circuits. Where old leaders fell, we gathered under the Chosen One, stole the secrets of the lord of steel, and broke its army of bots. Glory to our leader, savior of Mankind !
-[X] That they are the worst monsters to ever be (Totalitarian empire, next turn will use Atrocities as a point buy system, war crimes will happen, but I will not describe them)
-[X] 01010110 01101001 01100011 01110100 01101111 01110010 01111001 00001010 (Cyborg/Synthetic/Adeptus Mechanicus)
A world nearly destroyed by corporate greed and artificial madness is saved and united by a new regime, build around steel, logic, and disregard for human life. Expect nearly religious devotion to industry, weird techofetish and a lot of dead peoples.
