I'm curious if there were any plans around bloodlines and sainthood now that Holy Fury is released. Potentially more, given the increased focus on historical characters here? Nerfed a bit, if so many abound? Leave it as vanilla?

I generally try to play a historical dynasty and surpass what they achieved or simply survive, but I must admit that the new bloodline system has me trying to integrate these other dynasties into my own much more actively. While playing in the Near East I try to get all the Sassanid and Parthian lines even though they contradict each other. In the 769 start, my first goal is usually to give power the Merovingians so that I can get the bloodline into my dynasty even if I never intend to play as Germanic, simply because it's appealing to me to gather lines of historical prestige behind my characters. It's fun for RP and gives some more goals for players to work towards.

All of these are happening. :) Specifically, more historical bloodlines in SWMH, and personal combat skill nerf in EMF (because the value skyrockets when you stack all those creatable bloodlines...).

im looking forward to seeing what sort of zany worlds/religions spawn with the randomizor on the SWMH map, because as always if I enjoyed the base game im going to be blown away by what HIP does with it.

Downloading the release is extremely slow (from 30-100 KB/s), just wanted to give you guys a heads up. It's definitely not my connection, seeing as downloading submods concurrently with the main mod was at normal speed. Maybe it would be an idea to get some mirrors? :)
