Shards - Play as a God

Description
Now Supports 1.16!

Play a Divinity in CK3
Inspired by the shards from the Cosmere universe, the Pantheon of the Gods mod (now sadly dead) and the Warhammer 40K gods, I have decided to make a mod about playing a god.

Rather than other mods of this genre, however, the aim is less to play a godly humanoid, but an infinite, ethereal divinity manifesting in the world.

Help Wanted!
If you have a skill for writing, I am looking for help writing flavour events, prayers, and designing god domains!

In addition, anyone with GFX knowledge would be appreciated - I would love to make gods more godly.

Discord Server!

Features
- Blessings:
Reward your followers! Create children of prophecy! As a god, you can grant blessings to any mortal you choose.
- Curses:
On the flipside, your divine station lets you hand out curses to those who displease you.
- True Immortality
As a Divinity, you (and the mortals you choose to share this gift with) are truly immortal. Should you be destroyed by blade, chance or illness, you will experience Rebirth - a new body being created for you with much of your powers and memories. This is an imperfect process however, and some things like relationships, opinions, hooks and perks don't currently transfer - something I might be able to fix in following updates.
- Healing and Harming
Well now, I couldn't make a mod about gods without the ability to smite mortals, could I?
- Faith Harvesting:
As a divinity, increase your power by making mortals worship you. Each county of your faith gives you a little bit more power!
- Manifestations:
Mechanics to choose how to manifest in the world. From avatars formed out of divine essence, through mortal prophets, to investing your divinity in a county.
- Divine Armies
Men at arms fit for a God, as well as the power to grant them to others.
- Dominion
Mechanics for deciding which mortals you can affect with your powers, and which are protected by their allegiance to a rival faith or opposition to you (Also great for game balance)
- Rival Gods:
Other intelligent gods attempting to wrestle control of the world from you.
- Great Holy Wars
As a Divinity, order your followers to march against the unbelievers.
- Cataclysms
Bring your divine judgement down on whole lands, causing vast destruction.
- Prayers
Your followers will ask things of your divine power, giving you the choice of either aiding them, or spurring them. Occasionally, rulers of other faiths will ask your support - in exchange of becoming your followers.
- Devoted
Special mortals followers that empower you, but losing them can cause you great harm. A system for defeating a Divinity by seeking out and converting or killing their Devoted.

Planned Features
- More Faith Harvesting:
Mechanics for getting piety out followers.
- Domain
Be the god of Something!
- Artifact Creation
Create your own legendary artifacts.
- Supernaturals / Exalted Creation
Create your own types of supernaturals and exalted! Say you wanted to be the god of vampires....



FaQ
How do I become a Divinity?
Either choose the Divinity trait at CC, or use the new decision.

I want to create a new faith for my Divinity to lead
You can! The divinity trait makes new faith creation free.

How compatible is this mod?
After update 1.2.0, pretty much with everything until proven otherwise.

So, when you lose a level of piety, your avatar trait falls in rank, as well. Meaning that you lose the potent trait, for example.

As for the random sinful actions - your piety level is limited by the amount of your devoted. If it gets higher than your max, it will rise briefly and then fall back down, sending the message

Hey, just noticed a few things on my first try. Mainly the potent trait keeps appearing and then disappearing and sometimes it just randomly says "Your sinful actions come at a cost" after doing exactly nothing.

@Mr_Krabs

Yeah, that makes sense for the bug....
As for the discord, probably got outdated. I'll fix it.

also the discord link doesnt work
Mr_Krabs 30 Aug @ 6:13pm 
well i do know why its because i lose all my devoted
Mr_Krabs 30 Aug @ 6:10pm 
anytime i try to reform my faith so i can adopt feudalism my character dies and i dont know why

I feel ya.

Any plans for Divine Conception? As well as naming one or a few followers as a Everchosen as well as corruption? Chaos Gods emit corruption through it's influence and followers, especially champions. The Emps in 40K is basically the Chaos God of Order, and emits corruption in his own way. I suppose Supernaturals / Exalted Creation would function as your greater demons.

Unfortunately I do not own the DLC for playing landless, so I haven't tested it out - it makes sense that reborn won't work though, as the implementation creates a character, makes it your heir, gives it your titles and then plays as it

it seems like the reborn as immortal wont work as a landless adventurer
