Princes of Darkness, "Disrobed", Version 1.8.0, Change Log, December 2, 2022
- Update for CK3, "Robe", Version 1.8.0

- Herd and Resonance Rework v0.1 or something :
- Created many new scripted effects that may or may not reinvent the well and/or overlap with eachother.
- Feeding is now automatic and monthly, manual feeding can still happen but will pause automatic feeding while bloodloss persists.
- Resonance xp rewards are rebalanced for a much slower paced xp income
- Becoming a ghoul recalculates resonance intensity with ghoul being a strong detriment to having good resonance
- Added a fourth level of bloodloss so that vampires can slake four levels of hunger from one mortal without killing them immediately like in V5.
- Fixed longstanding bug in herd creation effects that prevented cultists from getting more than one herdmember
- Automatic feeding works for herdmembers received via character creation, the herdify scheme and the perk that lets you add people to your herd as part of a hunt

- Add spiritus in animal resonance trigger
- Add herd auto in blood tithe
- making you need more point to buy high level perk
- Fixes bug in POD_hunger_feeding_bloodloss_effect preventing major blood loss from getting worse under specific circumstances
- Adds a warning about manual feeding on herds pausing automatic feeding of the same
- Fixed a bug with assignment of Necromancy perks that prevented characters that knew more than one type of Necromancy from receiving all their perk unlocks
- True Brujah childer get Temporis instead of Celerity
- Adds a message that pops up in the message feed yearly one year after the first automatic feeding showing how much xp was gained from automatic feeding during that year.
- Adds new 3 message types for the message feed: POD_event_vampire_good, POD_event_vampire_bad, and POD_event_vampire_neutral
- Adds a variant of the vampire icon in the right resolution: 70x70 instead of 60x60 (technically 70x71 due to how compression saves them)
- Adds a tooltip for resonance intensity to the hunt event
- Description of Cauldron of Blood now mentions that it unlocks a duel move
- Fix for herd drain and slake not giving piety loss, masquerade exposure, and stress.
- regular male_head_diffuse.dds and male_head_properties.dds texture modified to not have the gray "stubble" on top.
- Ashirra Fledglings will convert to their versions of Roads instead of Western ones.
- Fixes two bugs with the Brujah Legacy of Leeland enabling abductions:
- 1. The requirement was set to be brujah_legacy_2 which is Legacy of Hannibal
- 2. The requirements were checked in actor scope which doesn't exist for schemes
- Makes draining people actually give the xp instead of just saying it does. Apparently the herd xp gain rate is pretty good even without it.
- Adds stress gain that grows exponentially as long as you have too many herd members. Going under and staying under the limit until the next time it would've triggered resets it to the base value
- makes ai vampires feed significantly more often so that they have blood available if placed in a herd
- makes autofeeding not happen at three times the speed on vampires because of their lack of bloodloss
- fixes stress gain modifier for level 2 hunger (was 20%, now 10%) to make it less of a rollercoaster as you gain and lose hunger
- Many updated and new graphics for event backgrounds, faith icons, interation icons, men at arms illustrations, etc...
- Restored ivory skin cosmetic to the previous appearance while simultaneously allowing for injury decals and the like to show up without overriding the effect.
- Now BM get sekhem from cannibal events
- Demonic Geography
- Bug reports fixes :
- Prague not being in Poland acknowledged
- Bad romance event with wrong sexuality
- Vanilla definition of Greece (without Krete) replaced with one with Krete instead for the mod's purpose
- Hunting an animal that only exists in your head doesn't make you a master hunter anymore
- Used Sarg's proposed art in files repo to change the remaining day event themes added by the last DLC #Used my impeccable artistic tastes to do it. So obviously, each art is used at just the the right spot.

Princes of Darkness, "Undying", Version 1.7.0, Change Log, September 8, 2022
- Compatible with CK3 1.7.0 (Bastion) and Friends & Foes DLC
The main aim of the update is to bring Princes of Darkness to a compatible state with CK3’s latest DLC and patch.

Besides that, it is mostly a transitional update as the big news aren’t yet ready to be shown. Still there is plenty of various new content to talk about.

First, Mummies are officially released. While some of you might know that they were already playable, they were still in a “work in progress” stage. Now they have been going through a balancing and flavorization phase. They have their own bookmark, dynasty legacies and other usual content that they missed until now.

Related to Mummies but also to a lesser extent to other creatures, the Umbra is getting expanded with more flavor and events. The Umbra is a big place however, so it’s an on going task.

There is now a sorcery trait, one of the Numina in the World of Darkness, which are a form of “low” magic. Very rare, they open a new small lifestyle tree if you can gain access to it.

On a more bloodsucky side, vampires have gained an expanded Necromancy tree with various paths. Each path is known by a specific kind of vampire (the Giovanni family knows the Giovanni necromancy for example). Mentoring is available for those trying to learn all the paths, though some of them are very rare, with very few available mentors.

A pass has also been made on forgotten disciplines, those that have been here since day 1 but were mostly passive buffs. Like Celerity

Our Inquisitors have learned new tricks to help them against their new and old foes. Holy Arts are a “refinement” of True Faith, only available to them.

As usual, you can also expect new portraits, Great Persons and character lore buttons in this update, as well as bugfixes and balance tweaks.
