[MOD] Princes of Darkness (Vampires, Werewolves, etc...)

[flintsparc]

Thanks for the advice ngppgn, you were right.

I've resolved the issues with the latest update from Paradox. I've been adding the Roads for Dark Age Vampire for use at the 1230 AD and 1355 AD bookmarks. I should soon be done with the basics for most roads (but not paths), but they are empty without much in the way of custom events or decisions.

The competition for who will be the recognized supreme of Via Regalis will be intense.

Do folks prefer the simple crown, or the more detailed coat of arms for Via Regalis?

 

[ngppgn]

Either the second one, or the first one with the crown a bit bigger and without the shield outline, I'd say.

 

[Admiral Boysen]

Seeing that Via Regalis is all about pretentions of nobility (as in, pretentions the nobility holds), the second one is more appropriate.

 

[JULIU E]

Second one. How else may I be a blood sucking pomp?

 

[FWalrus]

Any ETA for an update?

Any ETA for an update?

I have something that works with the latest CK2 patch.

It has about 35 societies, paths, knightly orders, bloodlines:

Spoiler

I could add more. I need to test it a bit more. I could have something ready at the end of this weekend.

Looking great flintsparc! Keep up the great work.

Hello Everyone!
As long time Vampire The Masquerade fan and also LARPer, I can only say WOW to this Mod!
I've downloaded it but I'm having an Issue, the only scenario "working" and showing Interesting Characters is "War of Princes", while the other doesn't work properly.

I've CK2 updated, and a jeopardy of DLC.
Can I ask you all which DLCs are mandatory and which are forbidden? So I can turn on/off and have a nice time with Tremere

Thank you

 

[ClawofBeta]

It's not updated for the latest patch as far as I can tell/

 

[Lord_Winter]

Oh... ok ... I'll wait

 

[Lord_Winter]

I also backflippet to 2.5.2 but still only War of Princes available.

PS: I miss DLC from Charlemagne to actual ones, I only have the older ones... So Let me Know if there's something mandatory and/or forbidden.
Alas, I'll wait for some news about patching compatibility.
Thank you.

 

[flintsparc]

I've been busy in ways that you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Bonus points if you figure it out. I'll give you a hint and say it involves the Ottomans.

I hope to get back to this one day, maybe even before Paradox brings the patch for Tibet. But I can't give you a timeline. Maybe next weekend?

Of course was not my intention to "harass" you or anyone else!
Was just asking as newbie since playing War of Princes is ok, but I would gladly play Thorns more!
Take your time no problem, just DON'T let this Mod die 'cause is awesome.

Following your hints, I can fire my bullet: you were in Istanbul at the march against Erdogan


quick question: suppose I'm playing with Councilior Lotharius of the Tremere, and my hier is Tremere. But he's in torpor. How does torpor works and how a Torpor-ed one can be awakened (and used)? Bye.

 

[flintsparc]

Lord_Winter, very close. Wrong continent though. Try my username on reddit.

A vampire in torpor has a random chance of decreasing in blood potency with age as well as a random chance of waking up from torpor. The older the vampire, the more blood potency, the less likely they wake up.

All the torpor vampires actually create a bit of a problem as all those incapacitated characters over time start clogging up the book keeping; so much so I'm thinking about an event that housecleans up torpored vampires that aren't very interesting... like high generation vampires that aren't heirs and aren't in a culture that the player character shares or is near.

 

[Kokuto]

So will the next version be using generation or blood potency anyway?

 

[flintsparc]

So will the next version be using generation or blood potency anyway?

Both classical World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness (new WoD) bookmarks I have using blood potency. Only classical WoD is using generation. Generation limits blood potency. CoD vampires don't have generation limiting their potency. Age however does limit CoD vampires potency.

[Admiral Boysen]

Shouldn't Malk lunatics (that is, all Malks) slow down going into torpor, to offset the double rate they get from their clan curse?

Good idea.

 

[Scarletic]

Some descriptions of traits, intrigues, religions are missing! It is not fatal, but is really irritating. Is there any way to fix it?
