See also our Reference Manual[github.com] for more details.

The Units submod is optional but highly recommended.

Playing as a canon Vampire character at the 1230 bookmark[github.com] is highly recommended.



If you are having problems, try ending Crusader King 2 program, then remove your Princes of Darkness cache directory and its contents, probably located at someplace like: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\princesofdarknesscache

This is particularly important to do after a steam update to the mod.

If you are still having trouble, take a look at your error log and tell us what it says towards the end. It should be located at something like: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\logs\error.txt

If you are still having problems, try running this mod without any other mods.



The Dark Ages--a whole lot darker.

ANSWERS to some Frequently Asked Questions[github.com]:

The unshattered world canon bookmarks are 1230 War of Princes[github.com], 2015 Jyhad Diaries[github.com] and 1505 After Thorns[github.com]. The other bookmarks are shattered world. Other dates beyond the six provided do not work. Don't worry about starting too late and not getting enough years to play, the end date is 50,000 AD

After startup, it can take a few ticks for randomly spawned characters to get the mortal or supernatural traits. 80% of courtiers should be mortal; with 5% vampires, 5% werewolves, 5% mages and 5% changelings. For random counts, supernatural splat type happens if the county has a supernatural "religion" and the clan of the splat is weighted according to culture.

No DLC is required but it enhances play, particularly Conclave and Monks & Mystics. Legacy of Rome is needed for Retinues. If you have ALL the graphical DLC, content packs and expansions then our Princes of Darkenss Units submod is highly recommended. You really do need all the DLC for the Units submod.

As of March 13, 2018, there is a new sub mod called "Princes of Darkness Units" which will unlock a much greater diversity of special troop unit avatars. We have reused Paradox Crusader Kings 2 councillor avatars from their graphical unit and content Ppck DLCs for new avatars for supernatural units. You must have the Paradox CK2 graphical DLCs to run that submod.

This base mod, however, does not require any CK2 DLC content.

Immortality. Drain your prisoners of their blood. Bloodbind vampire prisoners. Turn your courtiers into vampires. Turn your courtiers into ghouls. Many events with ghoul courtiers. Heal your wounds. Raise armies of ghouls and vampires. Summon, entrance and mesmerize your way to power. Shapeshift into a wolf, a pool of blood, a cloud of mist, a shadow or even the dreaded Zulo war form of the Tzimisce Zhupans. Beware your thirst for blood it can drive you to a never evending frenzy or the sleep of torpor. Hunt mortals and drain them of their lives, but risk breaching the masquerade and dealing with the consequences.

Knowledgable World of Darkness players can use the Ruler Designer to customize your own vampire.

Or pick from one of our canon Characters pregenerated. We have more than 600 canon characters in the mod available for play at the 1230 and 1505 bookmakrs. Or have a supernatural character created for you at random (for vampires, your original character will die and be replaced by an heir of the apporiate age).
