I have a question.
Backstory: I'm playing as Kerack with the Reapers Due DLC active
Question: How often does the Dragon Coast area [Cidaris, Kerack, Verden] get hit by epidemics in everyone else's games? I've been playing in game for 34 years and the area has had an epidemic, with default epidemic settings, active constantly. It's certainly interesting gameplay to have your capital gangbanged by measles, swamp fever, slow fever, and camp fever every year, sometimes consecutively too, but I'm curious. Is this some thing common in other people's games? I haven't noticed diseases popping up nearly as much in the other areas of the map, except Skillig.

As fan of Sapkowski's books i wanted to note few minor things concerning characters in game:
- King Rismos of Mecht name was Akerspaark in books, not Rismos.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Akerspaark
- In Blood and Wine it was revealed that one of Queen Meve two sons is named Anseis.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Anséis
- Artorius Vigo, uncle of Fringilla Vigo is accidentally listed as female in game
- Ravanen Kimbolt, one of claimants to Temerian throne after death of Foltest should be Foltest's distant cousin ( he was next in line to Temerian throne after Bussy and Anais ) and be one-eyed. According to wiki he was born circa 1206.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Ravanen_Kimbolt
- King Niedamir's father was Audoen who ruled Hengfors, Arc Coast and Blaviken.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Audoen
- King Niedamir should be widower by the time of Blood of Elves.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Niedamir
- King Osmyk of Kerack had four other sons besides Belohun, who all renounced their claims to throne
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Osmyk
- King Belohun besides four legitimate sons, Viraxas, Elmer, Egmund and Xander, he also had two bastard sons and eight daughters. He also had many wives. Viraxas, Elmer, Egmund and Xander were all noted as half-brothers.
http://wiedzmin.wikia.com/wiki/Belohun (in polish)
- King Vridank Elf sons were named Heltmult and Denhard.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Vridank
- In books there was no such kings of Temeria as Meromar and Goidemar II.
Here is family tree of nordling dynasties:
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net...ingowie.png/revision/latest?cb=20150807182717
- Xymena Thyssen was sister of Esteril Thyssen, not his daughter.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Xymena_Thyssen
- Giuscard Vermollen name should be corrected to Guiscard.
http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Giuscard_Vermuellen
- King Rismos of Mecht name was Akerspaark in books, not Rismos.

As the creator of all the characters in this mod I have to comment on your corrections. Especially the remarks concerning information from Witcher 3 + DLC are very true. Also some information on the wikis is less than fully accurate.
These are the decisions and thoughts when I set the stuff up as it is now:
- I used "Akerspaark" as the name of the king's dynasty.
- Cool tidbit. Salvo or Gaetano should be renamed.
- Artorius that old lady. You are right
- Birth dates on the wikis are mostly totally fabricated. Someone guessed his age and put a year there. Making Kimbolt older and one-eyed sounds easy enough, though. I must've missed the information that he is related to Foltest in Witcher 3 (the wikis states it is mentioned ingame ...)
- Audoen is set as the ruler of Blaviken. I did not see a connection to Niedamir.
- !! Niedamir's wife should be dead, you are right.
- !! Since I don't speak Polish I must've missed that information when skimming through Sezon burz.
- !! Same. Kerack seems to be rather inaccurate.
- Are you sure? The (more) official wiki (http://witcher.gamepedia.com/Vridank) doesn't mention that. Names can be used but I am intrigued where this is taken from. Certaily not the saga since I searched these books very meticulously.
- Those two are needed to make the dynasty tree work and give the rulers normal life spans. It is nowhere stated that the list of rulers is complete and that I wouldn't have to add a few more so that the known marriages etc. would work out.
- I believed the Polish wiki on that one: http://wiedzmin.wikia.com/wiki/Xymena_Thyssen (daughter Esteril Thyssen and Agnes Aedirn)
- I chose to spell Vermuellen's given name that way as I saw it spelled both ways and it looked "more correct" to me. You know, with keeping historical Normans in mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guiscard
Here's where he is (mis?)spelled as Giuscard: http://hexer.wikia.com/wiki/Giuscard_Vermuellen
Edit: Forgot to comment on some remarks
Edit2: Typos

Thank you for your reply,
I wanted to thank you for creating this mod. I really enjoy playing it
Do you consider adding Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Caellach and his family to game? I have seen his dynasty somewhere in Nilfgaard, but could't find him. He was really interesting character in the books.
I am pretty sure these names are canon as i seen them in few places, including family trees. It's on polish wiki too. http://wiedzmin.wikia.com/wiki/Vridank_Elf
Well, on Edmund Thyssen wiki page it says that she is twin sister of Esteril. I guess it must be an error. http://wiedzmin.wikia.com/wiki/Edmund_Thyssen
But on wiki Robert's name is spelled Guiscard. Anyway this is very minor thing so it doesn't matter much how Vermuellen name is spelled.

Okay, found it. I wrote with this guy SMiki before and he knows his stuff. You're probably right about the Thyssens and the Vermuellens. I've stopped working on this mod a long time ago. I don't even have control of the files anymore since more motivated guys moved them to a new git repository. Maybe they'll find a good way to integrate Cahir into the game. I just set his home-region up in south eastern Nilfgaard and put his dynasty there.
I was wondering if you're planning on adding an event to make Cirilla the daughter of Emperor Emhyr while playing as the Nilfgaardian Empire? Or some type of World-Event after Emhyr died without leaving a heir.
Building Coram Agh Tera upon the vanilla Satanists would make A LOT of sense ...
How is development coming? Not sure if my barony work should continue if there is no development for this mod right now.
Just had a question, I know that, upon the last release I found one bug pertaining to what happened when the war for upper aederin was won by the young king, such that no matter what happened it still reverted to the northern kingdom. I just wanted to ask if that was ever addressed or not,
what ckii version should I rollback to in order to play this game overhaul mod?
EDIT: NVR MInd the download links don't work

Just roll back to 2.6.3. and download mod from one of these option in the article http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-witcher-kings/news/witcher-kings-070
,mate.
Cheers
Is work still being done on this mod? Have really enjoyed it this far. one of my top mods so far
Yes, i think so. since the Monk & Mystic dlc came out i see many dev have to add few more thing in order to make it work but in this case i think he/she? will release a big 0.80 rather than releasing an 0.7.1 etc, but chins up he(or she?) is working on it.
Yes, but unless some people help on societies and artifacts/treasury (or any other suggestions of the thread), it will only be some minimal 2.7.x compatibility & bugfixing, with the new vanilla mechanics disabled.

The OP is not up to date, here's the post with version 0.7.0 downloads: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...od-witcher-kings.740988/page-35#post-22258463
Well thank you for your continued work of this mod. My favorite after AGOT
I got 2 questions that may have been ask before. Pardon me if it's the case. I'm on 2.6.3 with the 0.7 version
1. how to you take back a county from the wilderness. I want to get Tor Byd.
2. is there a reason I can't create the kingdom of Angren?
