[Mod] Erebos

What is this?

Erebos is a total conversion mod I have been working on for some time. It's set in a dark fantasy version of our world, a place where magic is very much a thing that is real. Blood and magic are tightly intertwined, where one is, to its core, dependent fully on the other. Empires rose and fell, their feet planted firmly in magic, their graves made of it as well.

When will the mod be playable?

Well, I hope that by Christmas I'll be able to bring a somewhat acceptable experience playing the mod. It's already released, though, so check the index for links. As for enjoyability of the mod, that might take quite a while!

What are the planned features of the mod?

I'll refer you to the index on that

[MrWeRD]

Couldn't resist.

Sorry about that! T.T

 

[Darkgamma]

Nah, no problem.
Not like there's anything to reserve the post for

 

[MrWeRD]

That is true. This thread has no meaning at all.

 

[Darkgamma]

Except magic.
Magic is a thing that is real :laugh:

[DarkReborn]

I'd like my coffee cold, please.

 

[Darkgamma]

No coffee. No cold.
Well, it's cold if you're dead and tossed in the river, but that's not a smart thing to do really, tossing dead people in the river, who knows who'll get their hands on the corpses

Don't put that much faith in Riknap, he's a fickle beast :laugh:

Magic Muggle Kingdoms: CKII Edition?

Well, this magic takes after a different trope - it's not about talent, it's about what you bleed :laugh:

Oh, a Blood Magic Mod? Interesting! What universe?

 

[Darkgamma]

Oh, a Blood Magic Mod? Interesting! What universe?

Yep, blood magic! Lots of gruesome blood magic!
And, this time it's my own thing - it's a world I've been developing for the better part of a year :happy:

 

[Darkgamma]

Well, let's not delude ourselves that much further - this thing is actually a mod; it being a mod is a thing that is real, as is its reality :laugh:


Some screenshots:

This is actually a startup event that lets you choose your blood hue from two different choices. The AI is now set to always go for red blood, but you, the player, can go with bronze as well. Bronze blood is one step above red blood, but it's still rock-bottom on the slider :laugh:

This is the description behind the bronzeblooded trait. Gives a bit of backstory you can kind-of piece together as well.

 

[Gradiant]

If this is as I suspect, this is best mod.

 

[Darkgamma]

Well, we aim to please :laugh:

[EmperorBrandon]

Good thread, best mod.

 

[Gradiant]

Just so it's clear, this mod will allow you to be a wwizard.
