Tribes of Terra

Description
Version: 1.0.4
Compatibility: 3.3.*


About

As a Stellaris xenophobe, I tend to play human or humanoid races exclusively. I also detest the human artwork. There are a lot of great species mods that do much for humanoids (e.g., SW Species Pack and others), but there are few that change the human aesthetic beyond modifying vanilla color options. This mod is an attempt at providing some variety to other human imperialists by using an alternative aesthetic using high quality, static portraits. I am not a graphic designer and have no intention of animating these or any of the portraits included within the series.

Some material may contain suggestive themes which may be offensive to some players.


Backstory and Flavor

This mod adds an alternative-history human race forged from the ashes of humanity's demise. Climbing out from the wreckage of human war and suffering, once mighty nations are nothing more than warring tribes. Under this backdrop, globalization begins anew. United under a common purpose of survival and expansion, the bloodthirsty, post-apocalyptic Tribes of Terra leave Earth to forge a new empire in the sky.


Changes

• Adds a custom human race with a rich variety of leader/ruler portraits (24 currently) and a custom name list.
• Adds custom loading screens that fit the aesthetic.

To Do

• Add flavor events that provide back story and additional artwork
• Fully develop unique Name List (currently based loosely SW Species mod)
• Implement unique empire with traits and ethics (currently just a new species)
• Implement more portrait options for synthetic ascension

Recommended Mods

• Pirate, Fallen Empire, Ancient, AI, Swarm, and Invader Ship Types for the Pirate ship type

Notes

This mod is a work in progress. My ultimate goal is to add a series of mods that feature alternative human histories each with their own aesthetic. I'm a huge fan of dark and gritty sci fi, such as Dark City, Alien, Event Horizon, WH 40K, and the like; all of which greatly influence my aesthetic taste in sci fi.

This mod serves as the base for future companion mods that further flesh out the rich, ongoing story of the Tribes of Terra. Always looking for more ideas and suggestions for changes and ideas for implementation.

Compatibility

Full compatibility with other mods, with the exception of loading screens. Each Tribes of Terra mod will contain loading screen files that add to the storied atmosphere of each Tribe's aesthetic.
No vanilla files have been overwritten

Game crashes somehow, update please.

Nice use of Degenesis art. Hoping for an update.

Adding Tribes of Terra to my playset causes game to crash on start (probable conflict with TWO other mods that add loading screens). How come that I have two mods that work together with adding loading screen and ToT can't do that?

These look like chaos cultists from WH:40k

Yeah same, it sucks too, one of the only mods where it felt right to just be an asshole to everyone

Not sure about anyone else but for me today's update has made the mod crash my game before it even gets to the load screen

This mod has been updated to version 3.3.*

Any word on that update?

Solid. Doesn't look like too tough of a fix thankfully.

I will dig into it and provide an update this weekend. I was going to be out of town for a week, but my plans have changed.
