Update Time:
Hi everyone,
I was given the
green light from Choochoo - via discord - to continue updating this mod for More Bloodlines (Thanks
Choochoo)!!! I will will need permission from the MB creators for some aspects of the update too. However, I am NEARLY done making PO & Mixed Ethnicities compatible with MB!!! I just have to make some more events for mixed unions and add unique surnames so new Nobility isn't simply "Smith".
LOTS of New Updates Including:
User Recommendations:
• Fixed Valyrian inbreeding effects (need to ask 'Improved Genetics' creators to continue here as well).
• Lengi Men: improved male mouth to look less like Lengi females.
• Note: I will look into the YiTish & Lengi hair disappearing during battle! Thanks for the heads up
lonny2023!!!
Updated GFX:
• MB Minor Houses (Boltons etc) now have their own unique features via their own GFX files.
• Jogos Nhai: Now bald with pointy-cone-heads (Yay head-binding)!!!
• N’ghai
• Grey Wastelanders - Siberian/Jurchen influence.
• Lhazareen: made them distinct from Dothraki "copper skin and almond-shaped eyes, similar to the Dothraki, but they are more squat and flat-faced and have black hair cropped short".
• Improved Urban-Braavosi & Andalosi portraits.
New GFX/Cultures:
• 50+ mixed GFX cultures: for nearly every combination possible (even unlikely pairings such as Shadowlander & Wildlings lol).
• Some Mixed GFX cultures on periphery btw nations (YiShai - YiTish and Asshai mixture, Bhorashi & Ghozai are a mix of Valyrian & Ghiscari etc.).
• Brindleman: I was tired of their old portraits! Note: Blame GR.R. Martin, the previous portrait’s precedent (& possibly ‘Homo habilis’) for their… uhm, unique looks?
• Giants: semi-in progress, they look more human compared with their book descriptions... let me know your thoughts!
• Thousand Islanders - I have resurrected the fish people! Albeit, temporarily without the green skin, having issues converting to dds...
• More Summer-Islander GFX & Cultures (such as Summer-Rhoynar on the "Isle of Women").
• New 'Summer-Sothoryos' pirate culture.
• Gogossosi: new portraits (previously they were Myrman, but given the history, gave them a mix of Valyrian & Ghiscari features).
• Qartheen-Lowborn: new GFX culture (was previously just Sarnorian).
• Farosi, Moraqi, Vahari and Zabhadi are now all unique Cultures/GFX.
• Carcosian
• Mornish (Morn Mountains)
• Manticore & Marahai Islanders.
And... much more!
Character History:
Lots of updates!
Nettles and Dragonseeds etc.
Please let me know your thoughts on the additions above, and any bugs you notice in the meantime.
Here are some future ideas I have atm:
• Making the Free City portraits more unique as: Pentoshi, Norvoshi, Lorathi, Volantene and Essarian are the same GFX or basically identical...
• Mantaryan: making them more distinct + some people having severe mutations/abnormalities?
• I did make two unique Dothraki Khalasar/Tribes: the "Harro" & "Rovo" Dothraki, whose Khals originally conquered the Western Dothraki Sea from Essarians and Eastern Valyrians.
But, I'm having difficulty adding Bloodriders and some other unique Dothraki events etc. Not sure if anyone can help with this, or if I should add them anyway?
• Adding Mossovites in the northeast: "Chak Haraj" & "Sabhra Point" (this may turn into a new defacto "Far East" mod lol).
Also: let me know if you want the option to have these updates separated (i.e. if your'e not using MB, but still want the new Mixed Ethnicities etc.)?
I am almost done this update!!! My plan going forward is to release a similar update here on this thread (like last time). With your help, we can BETA test it (far quicker than me trying to play every culture etc lol) before releasing an official Submod - possibly with Choochoo. Appreciate it, thanks for being patient everyone!
And a Big Thanks to Choochoo, Mixed Cultures (
lordaelroy) & MB team for the amazing foundation to work with!
