I’ve been trying to build an empire around the Riftworld Origin and I’m kind of stuck on what direction to take it. I don't know if I should go more unity or research focus for example and what civics are good for it using the Riftworld Origin

I really like the idea and flavor of the origin, but I’m not sure what civic builds actually synergize well with it or help make it strong and fun to play?
