This new Civic requires Necroids and Utopia and is the Hive Mind version of the Reanimators Civic. Secondly coming to the Necroids Species Pack, is the Cordyceptic Hives civic. In the 3.6 “Orion” Update, we’ve added several new galaxy shapes to galaxy generation, many of these galaxy shapes were inspired by actual shapes of galaxies out in the universe, while others are interesting galaxy shapes that we thought would be fun to play on. For the full list of bug fixes, new features, and other changes, please see the full patch notes. This is only a partial list of changes and new features.

For base-game changes, we’ve added a new relic, accessibility improvements, new first contact events, included terraforming candidates on the galaxy map, added a new event chain, and tweaked some empire modifiers. We’ve also added new Orbital Ring buildings, which are included with the Overlord expansion. We’ve also added a new Spiritualist Federation type to the specialized federation types from Federations, and added a new “Politics” tradition tree, which also requires Federations. In 3.6, we’ve also reworked how the Ascension Paths from Utopia work, as well as added a new ascension path. The 3.6 “Orion” update contains new galaxy shapes, new artwork as well as the ability for Hive Minds to choose a variation on the Reanimators Civic from the Necroids Species Pack, and a Fleet Combat Rebalance-including a new ship type and changes to combat computers.
