Simple mod which aims to add more empire control options in case you haven't had enough macromanagement this season. This is not an overhaul, it simply adds more options to the game, and I hope it'll be compatible with everything.
Steam Workshop Clicky
The premise of the mod is to create situational edicts to be used for short periods at a time. Edicts that are very good at one thing but detrimental in the long run if left on too long. There are 15 so far, split into three different categories. All are only usable by players (play with your friends, do eet).
Version 2 added policies in the form of philosophies, which allow an empire to specialize into specific paths. These policies are usually broader in terms of changes, and require commitment and foresight to truly blossom in value.

===============================
Examples
===============================
Offensive Protocol: everyone's second-favorite go-to edict when they need more dakka, grants large offensive boosts for equally taxing resource drain. Basically, when you want to pay one fleet to do the work of 2, or 3.5231.
Cloak and Dagger Doctrine: an edict that gives you influence in return for taking away some diplomacy options, the backroom version of backroom dealings.
Fortress Doctrine: can't out-deathball your enemy? Worry not, fam. Tie them down with zerk'd up stations and hit their backlines where it hurts.
More details in the details section.
===============================
Versions
===============================
V 2.0: 1.0.3
Full Details
===============================
Bonuses are in green, penalties in red, recent changes in orange.
Protocols: Protocols are very taxing edicts meant to be in use for 3-6 months at a time, for the duration of a decent-sized battle, pretty much. They're basically the "oh ****, PLAN B!" button. They're no substitute for sound preparation, but they'll turn a situation on their own if it comes down to it. Excellent outplay potential.
===============================
To-do List
===============================
Next update: Move Fortress, Stockpile, and Premeditation into own philosophy category. Add Unshackled AI-like protocol.
Future: Add event/research project to allow immediate policy shift at large influence (possibly mineral and energy instead/as well). AI weights (*shudders*). Opinion modifiers (*screams internally*).
