Step-by-step tutorial to creating (this) mod: http://tehk.de/gaming/mods/stellaris-a-step-by-step-guide-to-creating-your-first-mod/

###################### PREFACE ######################

This mod is heavily under development and is also thought as an entry point or
template for other new modders to learn from.

I'm no artist at all - so I'm really not good with graphics.

If you have any suggestions or remark, please be friendly, but don't hold back!
The name list is indeed still quite sparse and I'm desperately looking for names :)

#####################################################


This simple mod adds a new pre-defined empire: The Ironborn Dominion, which consists
of human species called the Space Vikings, who set out from their home of Nordheim
to raid the Galaxy!


Basically I wanted to have a "Name List" in the game that contains names from norse
mythology and/or viking history. For this I used stuff like Wikipedia articles as
well as Snorri's Edda and a lot of semi-historic pop culture too (e.g. the series "Vikings").
That said, I tried to use original norse spellings but removed the special characters -
not necessarily because Stellaris can't handle it, but because they're a pain in the ass,
if you're trying to search your files!

And since I started with this, my first mod ever, I thought, I might also add a new
flag icon (the raven symbol that may be familiar from CK2) and a background story for the
start screen. I also gave them their own government, but at the moment it's just a simple
copy of the military dictatorship with different ruler names.

For me it's just a fun little project, but I thought... hell, let's put it in the workshop
and who knows? I might even get some feedback :D

Can you make an updated tutorial for Stellaris 2.7?

Just another huge fan of your tutorial!! Thank you so much! I just made my very first Stellaris mod thanks to you. It is a simple start, just a name list for now. But I plan on building an attire empire Mod now that I know where to begin and the format to use to build a mod. I highly suggest anyone who wants to start modding to read this authors tutorials. Step by step he guides you through ho to build your very first mod. Excellent resource for beginners like me! Thanks again, you got me excited to really dive in and start modding now.

I just created my first Stellaris mod following your guide. It adds more human empires to the game, all with custom namelists. The guide really was very helpful! Here's a link! Go check it out! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1263213378

I am here from your guide. It really helped even though my mod http://steamcommunity.com/id/cat101gaming/myworkshopfiles/?appid=281990 is a totally different style. Thanks!

With the new 1.2 patch, with this mod enabled I get a crash to Desktop just as the game loads to the main menu. Since I haven't seen a comment about this, I was curious if anyone was getting the same issue.

Took a look at your guide, nice work.

I looked into the space pirate event and it seemed fine for me. Also I can't find any mention about the player's government in the localisaiton texts.

Could you be a bit more specific, please? Which text exactly was wrong? Which title? What did the text say? Was it the "Birth of space piracy" event or something else?
Zeromegas May 14, 2016 @ 2:09pm 
I encouter a bug with the introudution of the space pirates, normaly it use what goverment you have, but a mod goverment the window event is stuck.

Haha, no, it's fine, mate. :D
I certainly don't want to keep anyone from creating their mod. Seriously, go ahead and create an awesome mod! You said you had "some really big additions", so you seem to have something in mind that goes beyond this little thing here. I'd appreciate it if you could name this mod as inspiration, though ;)

That said, any suggestion for new names is more than welcome and if I may, I'd very much like to take a look at that name list of yours. There's no need to hurry though - in the end, I can also have a look when your mod's up and ready-

Tehed, I understand, if it's not cool with you, I won't even if you can't make me not do it.

How about I just give you the list I've got so you can merge them? Or merge them and then send you that file?
