More Bloodlines Submod - v3.0 Now Out (AGOT 2.2 compatible)

Firstly thank you for your mod but I have question, It is possible to child get only bloodlines from one parent because in Matr. Marriage child have bloodlines from both parents ? In classic marriage child get only father bloodlines so that is fine.

Thank for respond.

Edit: and Q2, in next update will you lower chance to get bloodlines trait (Umber - Strong/Tall etc.) ?

So bloodline inheritance is largely hardcoded, you can add to it, but you can't (as far as I am aware) get it so a patrilineal bloodline isn't passed on by a father. On top of that, that would make accumulating bloodlines impossible, which I don't think would be too popular.

As for your second question, currently in the mod the strong, tall, and fair bloodlines are basically inevitable. Unless a character is secretly a bastard, weak, ugly, or a dwarf they will gain the trait from their bloodline when they are born, when the scenario is initialised and randomly as maintenance. This is largely because all the Umbers, Baratheons, Crakehalls etc we have ever met (even if you roll back 300 years+ to Argilac the Arrogant) have been strong, etc. So yes its not exactly true to real world genetics, but it is true to the world GRRM wrote with dragons, magic and ancestors who supposedly look the same several hundred years apart. On top of this it also works as quite a neat way of giving earlier Umbers, Mormonts, Crakehalls etc the strong trait without needing to faff in the history files.

Thanks, glad to hear you like it

Yeah choosing a house for a bloodline is haaaaaaaaaard, the Stormlands in particular are tricky because we know surprisingly little about the noble houses from there. If we compare it to the Reach, we have a nice little story about each of Garth Greenhand's children which gives us background to roughly 18 houses, or the Vale we have stories of the struggle between the First Men and the Andals which gives us about 10 houses, but the Stormlands' history is almost entirely centred around the Durrandons and Baratheons. For most houses in Westeros we know if they were founded by Andals or First Men, what notable deeds they've done, etc etc. For the Stormlands we don't have any information about the histories of most houses until at least the Conquest. 

This makes things tricky when it comes to actually deciding bloodlines - sure we know who big houses are but what is their house known for? To give you an example the next update adds a bloodline for House Moreland of the Westerlands, a house which has had almost no effect on the main books, but we know their founder was a legendary hero called Pate the Plowman, who seemed to have brought new land under cultivation, hence their name, this makes it easy to localise the bloodline and give them an appropriate characteristic which is a +1 stewardship. Another example - house Upcliff, also pretty minor in the books but their founder was a famous witch, so +1 intrigue and chance to become a mystic. But when you get to the Stormlands where the histories of Houses are much lesser than other kingdsoms of Westeros (genuinely the Iron Islands and Stormlands sections of WOIAF are some of the sparsest chapters in the book) things become trickier. The Tarths and Marcher Lords are just about doable because we know the Tarths ruled as First Men Kings and may be descended from Galladon of Morne, and the Marcher Lords hold the frontier so martial boost and dislike of Dornish are logical bonuses for them, also in the case of House Dondarrion they actually have a foundation myth which further makes things easier. 

So the issue is what bonuses and traits would merit the Penroses? Cortnay is brave, but is that normal for his House? Are they known to be good soldiers? Good administrators? Good diplomats? The information we have about them is their sigil, their words, that Ronnel Penrose was Master of Coin but Elaena did all the work, and then some mentions in the Blackfyre Rebellion and a brief appearance at Ashford. It gets worse with other Stormlander houses where if we had more info I'd love to give them bloodlines (and pretty much the same for the Skagosi and Iron Islanders tbh) like House Estermont, House Rogers, House Buckler, House Cafferen, House Lonmouth, House Morrigen, House Trant etc, most of these houses we know even less about, so making an appropriate bloodline is basically impossible, even though they seem important enough that they should have one.

I think I'll give the Penroses a bloodline with a +1 martial and a chance of brave for the next update, but its quite a stretch, when you compare it to houses we know far more about. 

are the bloodline effects for dragon hatching and taming working? i think you need to edit either the "dragon_events.txt" file or add the flag "blood_of_the_dragon" like the vanilla bloodlines

Aegon the Fifth if he manages to hatch his egg never tames it and it usually kills most of his family

So the blood of the dragon bloodline is a vanilla bloodline, so not fully sure how it's created - I think it's just for valyrian dragon riding dynasties? The "a drop of dragon blood" that will be added in the next More Bloodlines update is set to all inheritance, so any descendants of house targaryen be they bastards or descended in the female line will have it - hence it's really small bonus wise, it's meant to just be a faint affinity for dragons.
