[G&K] Geth Civilization

Adds the Geth Consensus as a Civilization, led by Legion.

Legion is a unique Geth mobile platform, designed to operate outside of Geth space and to interact with organics. To that purpose, it houses 1,183 geth programs, as opposed to the roughly one hundred found in other platforms, enabling it to operate independently and speak. Legion regards itself not as a single being, but as a gestalt entity which must achieve consensus to act.

Trait: (Servant of the People) Grants a 3% science boost for every city connected to the capital.

UU: Prime. Replaces Modern Armor. No defensive bonuses and moves 3 spaces instead of 5. Grants a combat bonus to nearby units.

UB: Quantum Processor. Replaces Research Lab. Grants +4 science and happiness and an extra 50% science in city. Costs 1 aluminum .

This is the second of our planned Mass Effect civs, the Geth. Legion and the Geth were complicated to implement due to their rather unique trait and the fact that they don't refer to themselves in the singular, instead they are a networked conciousness. Because of this I studied so much videos of Legion to discover how he speaks, and had to write all new dialogue to remove emotion and any mention of Legion referring to itself as "I", instead replacing it with "we" and other Geth related dialogue. Turns out there is a lot of dialogue in this game. A lot. And I spent hours writing text. I am so relieved it's over.

Anyway the Geth grow more intelligent when more of them network together. Though their trait, a 3% science boost for every city connected to the capital, really isn't that good. Oh they now have 5 cities connected and a 15% boost? That's alright I guess. Oh 30%..? That's.. Maybe we shouldn't let them network together. 60%?!? Wow.. That's quite, wow.. Maybe we shouldn't give the Geth a chance to self-determinate after all..

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. :)
