Does anyone have tips for playing as a Nosferatu, I just keep dying from infinite revolts.

POD is superior on CK2, just my personal opinion. Thanks for the good times pal.

Vithar_Vulcan and Pawngram, the team moved on to Crusader Kings 3 releasing a playable version of the mod on September 1, 2020. We haven't touched POD for CK2 since.

You can download a working version of the mod to manually install from github at: https://github.com/PrincesOfDarknessMod/POD-for-CK2/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

It did work with the last update of CK2, but who knows what is up with the Paradox launcher.

POD for CK3 is much better. Please consider joining us there.

why can't this mod install when i subscribe? The only time it even attempts to download is when i have the ck2 launcher open, and unsub+resub. Although this only results in a 0-btye zip file turning up in my doc/paradox/ck2/mod folder.

Dead mod

Dr.Macari, we didn't think the 767 bookmark was good enough. So we disabled it.
We are no longer developing this mod.
Dr.Macari Sep 7, 2022 @ 12:04am 
The 767 AD bookmark isnt showing for me to play. Am I missing something? I have all the dlcs
Kryzzan Mar 28, 2022 @ 9:35am 
Thanks for the response
Sparc  [author] Mar 28, 2022 @ 9:32am 
Nick From the IRS, probably as there has not been an update to CK2.

But we aren't adding anything new to this. All of our effort has been directed to POD for CK2 since September 2020.
Kryzzan Mar 28, 2022 @ 9:30am 
Sorry to ask but is this still working properly?
Arizona Ranger Mar 10, 2022 @ 4:28pm 
Good Mod
Georelic35 Nov 7, 2021 @ 9:32am 
Aww
Fair enough. Thank you for the quick response.
Sparc  [author] Nov 7, 2021 @ 8:37am 
Georelic35, not really. We highly recommend playing a hunter of the Shadow Inquisition in the Dark Ages: Inquisitor bookmark in POD for CK3! :)
Georelic35 Nov 7, 2021 @ 2:54am 
Is it possible to play as a regular "Innocent" mortal in this mod?
Or even better a vampire hunter maybe?
Sparc  [author] Aug 27, 2021 @ 10:27pm 
azwildcasts88, Princes of Darkness mod has been available for Crusader Kings III now for almost a year, with us updating regularly. POD for CK3 is now better than POD for CK2. We probably will not be returning to update the mod or optimize the code in anyway for POD for CK2.
azwildcats88 Aug 27, 2021 @ 2:20pm 
So I love this mod but it's suuuuuper unstable. I'm unable to save my game.
Sorenishii Aug 22, 2021 @ 4:46pm 
If you guys wanna create your own gehenna start removing the torpor trait from the Antediluvians and they will wake up and become active. If you wanna get really crazy maybe had some evil or lunatic traits to them
花山法皇 - Emperor Kazan May 28, 2021 @ 3:08pm 
Alright, thanks anyway!
Sparc  [author] May 28, 2021 @ 12:17pm 
No. We may add it to the CK3 version.
花山法皇 - Emperor Kazan May 28, 2021 @ 11:26am 
Is Golconda possible to achieve?
Sparc  [author] Apr 3, 2021 @ 10:08pm 
dpflor511, depends on the vampire. Depends on the religion. https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Road
dpflor511 Apr 3, 2021 @ 7:25pm 
Question on the lore

why are some vampirers...actally religous? would they not all detest religion and hate any god with a burning passion?
Magnus Mar 24, 2021 @ 7:21pm 
@Dragonxxx - There already is a pretty good CK3 version available!
Dragonxxx Mar 24, 2021 @ 7:02pm 
Also, are you planning on porting this mod to Ck3 or is that already a development?
Dragonxxx Mar 24, 2021 @ 6:59pm 
Hey, you did a great job with this. I am still very confused as a new player to this mod, as I married another werewolf and we had mortal children without the werewolf trait. I also checked with charinfo to make sure my children weren't cucked and they weren't. Do they get the trait when they're 18 or something?
Rosto Branco90 Mar 22, 2021 @ 6:28pm 
when I start the mod it only shows the vanilla game with any changes :(
Sparc  [author] Mar 12, 2021 @ 8:54am 
Fae are in the mod. Not as well developed as vampires, but they are in there.
Sparc  [author] Mar 12, 2021 @ 8:54am 
Magnus, probably just a bug. Sometimes some vampires are created temporarily to get a coat of arms, before spawning the older vampire.
Magnus Mar 12, 2021 @ 7:02am 
Or even start with faes as courtiers and councilmen :<
Magnus Mar 12, 2021 @ 6:48am 
Hey there!
I'm finding quite some supposedly minor npc vampires in the game without the vampire perks and modifiers, just with the ways/clan religion selected. And i'm not able to embrace them either to make the perks reappear. Is this common, or a problem in my game? I'm just running the recommended mods, such as the crimson tooltip, additional units and the gothing font.
Thanks!
Sparc  [author] Feb 20, 2021 @ 10:56pm 
soul reaper, sounds like you have a lot of buildings.
Crimsonknight Feb 20, 2021 @ 7:56pm 
hay everytime i click on the upgrade all for the buildings it makes my game freeze and i have to restart my pc everytime
II-6thLA(D)Pfc.RocketPC Feb 13, 2021 @ 7:07pm 
Yeah ik now i just joined yalls discord
Sparc  [author] Feb 12, 2021 @ 10:41pm 
II-6thLA(D)Pvt.RocketPC,

Werewolves are a bit incomplete as a splat. You can add a werewolf trait and try it. Werewolves also need a breed trait (homid, metis or lupus), a religion (usually werewolf tribe like shadowlords, silverfangs, etc...), They aren't reccomended.

We don't plan to develop this mod further.
II-6thLA(D)Pfc.RocketPC Feb 12, 2021 @ 5:03pm 
So are you able to play as a werewolf other than making a custom character? and what are some werewolf religions/ groups
dpflor511 Dec 24, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
that might be awhile not ready to give up ck2 just yet (considering all the time and money i spent on it) but when i do one day get ck3 hell yeah iam getting princes of darkness as my first mod!
Sparc  [author] Dec 24, 2020 @ 4:15pm 
Thanks dplor511, we hope one night you can join us on CK3!
dpflor511 Dec 24, 2020 @ 3:50pm 
ok that works for me! Love the mod! and love everything about how the mod works!
Sparc  [author] Dec 24, 2020 @ 3:45pm 
dpflor511, we tried to reduce army sizes in CK2, but the AI could not manage to handle such small armies for determining where to attack and what to siege.

In CK3, we tried to eliminate levies entirely and ran into similar problems.

Pretend the number doesn't represent numbers of troop but rather something like "attack power" or something.
dpflor511 Dec 24, 2020 @ 1:11pm 
oh alright. also question. i know this is more of a lore question and a stupid one at that but i am deeply curious how can the vamps stay hidden when they raise armys with over thousands to fight in their shadow wars? Someone somewhere is bound to notice that thousands of people are going mission marching across the land to fight in battels against other vampire lords. sorry if this is a stupid question just i cant logic a way that this can work lore wise

other then that love the mod!
Sparc  [author] Dec 24, 2020 @ 10:55am 
dpflor511, removed because they weren't very complete. You can reactivate them if you edit the bookmark file.
dpflor511 Dec 24, 2020 @ 10:18am 
hey i dont see the 767 or 1215 start dates? are they removed or is it somthing else?
Sparc  [author] Nov 16, 2020 @ 3:09pm 
You're welcome!
Maianna Nov 16, 2020 @ 2:42pm 
Ah kk. Thanks for your fantastic mod.
Sparc  [author] Nov 16, 2020 @ 5:13am 
white-empress-87, make any submod that you like. Our attention is now on CK3. We probably will not be incorporating anything else to Princes of Darkness for CK2
Maianna Nov 15, 2020 @ 9:52pm 
Can I manually add anything to your mod to make the custom religions work? Respectfully and for my own use? Also T-T
Sparc  [author] Nov 15, 2020 @ 6:42am 
We asked if we could use their map, but they declined.
Maianna Nov 15, 2020 @ 1:01am 
Sad this doesn't work with Umbra Spherae-Reborn. The noreligion strikes again.
Braskan, the Void's Tear Nov 13, 2020 @ 7:30pm 
Thanks
