Ancient Bloodlines

Description
(TLDR: Adds bunch of reinforceable traits-Men at arms atm. Will add events-decisions with time, #when I learn how to actually#)
The world of Crusader Kings 3 is a tapestry of interwoven dynasties, but some threads shine brighter than others. The "Ancient Bloodlines" mod introduces the concept that the legacies of the greatest conquerors, thinkers, and leaders of antiquity were not entirely lost to time.

With this mod, the possibility that a forgotten power flows through your veins becomes a reality.

Features

Legendary Bloodlines
Discover the lineages of legendary figures such as Julius Caesar, Qin Shi Huang, Justinian the Great, Hannibal Barca, Modu Chanyu, and many more.
-19 Bloodlines total meaning 57 new traits, might add more-

Unique & Powerful Traits
Each bloodline offers a powerful and unique character trait, mostly balanced to reflect the most well-known abilities of your ancestor.

Legendary Units - The Ultimate Reward
Achieving the apex of your legendary bloodline is not just an honor—it is a key that unlocks the might of ages past. When a character is truly the Reincarnation of some historical legends (the 3rd and final tier of a bloodline), they gain the ability to recruit a unique and powerful Men-at-Arms regiment, a unit unavailable to any other ruler in the world.
Each unit is thematically designed to represent the strength and legend of its namesake. Command the greatest warriors of history and ensure your dynasty's military supremacy for generations to come!
-11 new MAA ATM-

Artifacts
Each artifact is a piece of history reborn, a unique and powerful tool that offers abilities reflecting the legendary figures who once possessed them. Seek them out, claim them for your dynasty, and let their power be the key to your eternal glory.
-Also requires you to have tier 3 trait-
-They are obtained by decisions at this point, will try to add some kind of system to get them later.-

Planned Features

New Events & Decisions: You will be facing in-game events and decisions to uncover your ancient heritage or investigate the secrets of ancients.

Dynastic Legacies

Forge a new path for your dynasty with the power of the ancients. Will you rule with the wisdom of Solomon, conquer with the fury of Attila, or innovate beyond your era with the genius of Archimedes?

Notes

֍There are some powerful ones but they really cost more in ruler designer for balancing sake also right now no one starts with these traits but they will start spawning slowly
-Birth chance is 0.10 for Tier 1, 0.04 for Tier 2, 0 for Tier 3-

Although they are really hard to get, most of Tier 3 traits are pretty strong

֍The new Men at Arms require Prestige aswell, that's intended behaviour because they are stronger than vanilla units. -might balance later-

thx mate

@RainbowYeti added to description,
@Matt great! I will look into this
Matt 6 Sep @ 5:20am 
Just a suggestion, maybe since the traits are all physical maybe when a character gets the image or reincarnation they actually look a bit like that figure.
RainbowYeti 5 Sep @ 9:58pm 
hey, can you provide a list of the bloodlines pls? it can't show all of em in filters

@Sparc thats on my mind for a while but I wanted to do it with the new icons, thanks for suggestion!

Open to suggestions:

Please optimize the file size of your trait icons by reducing the pixel size from 2048x2048 to something much smaller. The level of detail in those trait icons is never going to be seen in play because of how much the GUI reduces the image size on the character record and event window options.

CK3 has a max size of 120x120. You might experiment with going a little higher, I tried reducing some of your trait icons to 120x120, and they looked good to me.

If you move to 120x120 pixels, your trait icon size will reduce from 5,462 KB (5.46 MB) to 20 KB! Your trait icons are 303 MB currently. If you move to 120x120 pixel size for all trait icons, your trait icon folder should be about 1.1 MB. That would reduce your overall mod file size from 332 MB to about 31 MBs.

What's with the trait icons having 5,33 MB of weight? And 2048x20248 resolution? That's overkill for a trait icon.

You could get to much smaller sizes if you reduced them to about 120x120

@Matt there are no predefined characters, they will spawn randomly throughout the game
Matt 5 Sep @ 3:41am 
Will characters with the traits only spawn in at the start of game or will the traits spawn randomly throughout the game?

@HunkHerrmann The icons will be replaced but right now I'm trying to implement the ideas I have whenever I can find time, AI cant help me with them that much.
