I was thinking how cool it would be if asencien victories could be turned off, but still have the crystals show up. One could then assend, and by doing so gain several bonuses.
- +20 Soldiering (invisible creatures of energy are hard to kill)
- +50 Range (energy beings have no need for air)
- All advance colonization techs gifted (Energy beings are far more resilient)
- +25 Research (Assension gives you a new perspective on the sciences)
This would give you ample incentive to assend, and to keep others from doing so. It would also make the game even more interesting. I'd love to try to beat a race with those bonuses!
