[G&K] Asari Civilization

Adds the Asari Republics as a Civilization, led by Liara T'Soni.

Born on Thessia to her mother Benezia, and her 'father' Aethyta whom she never knew, Liara T'Soni grew up alone with her mother and had a love of archaeology from a young age. At age 60 she started to study Protheans, and in the next 40 years she became one of the best Prothean experts in the galaxy. Despite being young by Asari standards she has achieved a lot, and is respected throughout the galaxy by many.

Trait: (All is One) Culture buildings provide +2 culture in city.

UU: Asari Commando. Replaces Paratrooper. 10 points stronger and moves 1 extra tile.

UB: Temple of Athame. Replaces Temple. +2 faith and science in city.

This is the first of our planned Mass Effect civs, the Asari. We decided to start with the Asari first as they're one of the biggest and most iconic races. We hummed and hahed over who their leader should be. Councilor Tevos would be the most lore friendly choice, being the galactic representation of the Asari, but Liara is a squadmate and more well known and loved. In the end we settled on Liara when we realised that we're going to have to be a bit lenient on our future civs leaders anyway (the Hanar for example) and, even though she's only 106 and a bit more of a loner than a leader, we love her too much.

This is a dual project and we plan on creating and releasing all these civs (in no particular order) in the near future, and hopefully you'll enjoy them. :)
