Description
This mod expands the family trees of most base game factions to include missing historical characters. In the case of Aegean factions, the characters were taken from mythological sources. More than 110 characters have been added to 23 different factions. The mod also adds 17 new character models. In addition, the mod implements a custom mechanic regarding Helen's abduction to spice up the Aegean campaigns.

Helen's abduction
At turn 10, Helen will abandon the Mycenaean faction and be transferred to Troy, where she will marry Paris, Deiphobos or Helenos, in that order of preference. After Helen's abduction, the first faction to occupy, sack or raze Troy will claim Helen for themselves. The mechanic has a "true ending" scenario (read the relevant discussion post for more details).

Radious compatibility and/or 12 building slots submod
If you want to use this mod together with Radious, subscribe to Radious compatibility submod. The compatibility submod needs to be placed on top of the original mods in the Total War launcher. In case you do not want to use the Radious mod, it may also work as a 12-building slot submob for Expanded Family Trees.

Expanded Pantheons
The Expanded Pantheons sister mod adds 28 new deities to the game, raising the total number to 62. Each god has custom buildings and effects inspired by their attributes. The mod also tweaks the cult centre regions and discovery realms of the vanilla gods, so that they are more historically faithful.

Amazon faction submod
The Daughters of Ares submod replaces the Cimmeria faction with an Amazon faction led by Penthesilea. The roster of the Amazon faction consists of 35 units from Total War Troy. In addition, the faction has its own culture and religion/influence.

Bibliotheca Historica
This mod is part of the Bibliotheca Historica: Gods, Kings and Heroes collection. The recommended load order, from top to bottom, is the following one:
  • Expanded Pantheons (standalone)
  • Daughters of Ares (submod)
  • Radious compatibility submod (compatibility submod)
  • Expanded Family Trees (main mod)
  • Radious parts 1 & 2 (optional, not compatible with Daughters of Ares)

Compatibility
The mod edits startpos tables, so a new game is required for all the changes to be applied. This means that the mod is incompatible with other mods that edit the startpos. The mod also edits the phar_ambitions.lua, phar_death_dilemmas.lua and phar_court.lua scripts.

How do you mod family members to show up on the family tree to start with?

You’re a legend, man! One of those three mods was the culprit. I unsubbed and now everything works fine.

45 active mods! I'm always amazed by people who are willing to take those chances :steammocking:

Jokes aside, it's hard to say just from the collection. My first guess is that there's a compatibility issue with a mod that also edits characters, such as:
-Unique Bodyguard for Unique Generals
-Capture Unique Characters
-Make Character Unique.No script version

There are two possibilities: If the crash occurs due to a mod conflict, changing the mod order might solve it. The other possibility is that the mods have corrupted the save file, in this case reloading an earlier save would be the only solution.

Usually, I would offer to check the save file, but I'm not activating all those mods :steamfacepalm: As a last resort, you can activate the "Script debug activator" mod and check what the log file in the game directory says after the game crashes.

Can you check my collection? The series that I’ve spent hours playing — and that my viewers have been following with great interest — has crashed. In the Gods tab, the ‘favored warriors of the gods’ screen doesn’t change. Additionally, when I click on the family tree, the game crashes. After hundreds of turns, these two screens suddenly started causing issues. I can still end turns and fight battles, but whenever I try to interact with either of these two screens, the game breaks

Thank you for your words! I've added the link to the translation!

Hi Amulet of Kings!
Amazing work on this mod! I really enjoy it.
To make it more accessible for the Chinese player base, I've created a complete Chinese localization. It's available here: 网站链接
Would you consider adding a link to it in your mod description? It would be a huge help for Chinese players looking for it.
Thanks for your time and for creating such a great mod!

Yeah go ahead. The correct way to make them compatible would be to delete the death dilemma script from my mod, use ODD as a submod and add the relevant trait to the characters killed on turn 1. I don't want to do it myself for two reasons: I don't want to risk breaking a script and I woldn't like to rely on mods outside the Bibliotheca Historica collection.

It's used by the forts reinforce all battles and the tower ambushers mod. I could also make a submod that just combines both scripts if that's okay
Amulet of Kings  [author] 16 Sep @ 10:03am 
What do you want to use the mod for? The Override Death Dilemmas (ODD) mod doesn't do anything by itself, it's used by other mods that spawn and kill characters. The easiest option is to load ODD on top of expanded family trees. This will maintain the features of ODD, but you will get some death notifications on turn 1.

Would you consider adding support for this mod? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3312220625
It should just be an added line into the death dilemma script

Hi, being a startpos conflict, a bugfix is not enough, the mods need a compatibility submod to work with each other. Expanded Family Trees already has a 12-building slot submod (Radious compatibility submod) if you are interested. Other than that, this mod is designed to work with Expanded Pantheons, which changes Aegean cult center locations.
