Planetary Ascension

[Neal?]

This is a very small, possibly trivial sounding request but I feel it is an underrated part of the gameplay experience.

Planetary ascension NEEDS a sound effect. A grandiose bell, a triumphant chorus, a digital powering up sound. SOMETHING. I often forget this mechanic even exists but I PROMISE you I would remember if it had an appropriate sound effect. The current experience of clicking a button and seeing a number go up is so... meh

It's a shame that such a cool system and neat idea gives no immediate gratification for doing it. That's all, very excited for 4.0!

Make it based on advisor voice, perhaps? Spiritualist gets a choir, necroid a funeral bell, aquatic a buoy bell, cyberpunk a "level up" chiptune blip, etc.

I feel like it needs more than just a bell. Right now it's a very flavorless mechanic - press a button and the planet's numbers get a tiny bit better. I wish there were some sort of visual indicator; my ideal case would be making the planet's city look slightly fancier every few levels.

Don't get me wrong, I'd TAKE more. I just mean for my money, a sound effect would do ALOT of heavy lifting.

There should be a progression in the sound as you go from 0 to 10, from a basic note to triumphant harmony.
