Edo Themed Backstories

Description
THIS WILL WORK WITH EITHER 1.4 OR THE LEGACY VERSION, BOTH ARE NOT REQUIRED BUT ONE OR THE OTHER IS

This mod is an add-on for Edo Expansion that adds and distributes 60 total backstories. specifically 26 childhood backstories and 34 adult backstories. I originally intended to release this with the factions update for Edo Expansion but encountered problems that delayed it.

Why do I need Alien Races?

The base game does not have support for adding custom backstories, because of this I needed to make use of an extension mod. As far as I could tell Alien races is the only mod that has backstory functionality

So does it add a new race?
No, it only makes use of the back story feature.

I'm accepting submissions for backstories
please check the discussion tab for more info. Of course any submissions will be added to both a credits page on the workshop and in the mod description.

Ha good to know then, so thanks for the information :D

Yeah HAR is still required. The short version is this mod was made before then, and it would take a lot of time and effort to port it to the vanilla system. Also HAR still has some more options that Vanilla game doesn't, like forcing age for certain backstories, forcing a list of traits, forcing siblings to spawn. Ect.

Some day I might get around to doing it, and if I ever do port it I will make sure to remove HAR from the list of requirements on the mod page.

Is Humanoid Alien Races still required ? You can add Backstory now without it, so im curious.

Trying to remove as many "useless" mods as i can right now, and this mod is the only reason i got Humanoid Alien Races.
