Could you guys loosen up requirements to recommend embrace to your Childe?
Sometimes I want them to embrace their lovers or children for example instead of embracing everyone myself for them.

At some point. We stopped working on landless content when paradox announced asia

will the fae be able to become adventurers?

First, TY for your comment I did as you said and resolved my issues. (validated CK3) Additional question, is it intentional that once your Primogen leaves and comes back they can't take that role again?

ok thanks ^_^

cant scroll when making the character, i am not using any mods

romangome, fiefdoms are in alpha right now, not ready for beta testing. When we do beta testing, it will be as we always beta test, by allowing our patrons access to it in the development build from our github. You can become a patron for as little as $1, once... through patreon.

how do you get ti try the beta test for the fiefdoms?

Cerebulon, clearly, you were lied to! Glad you finally decided to check us out!

Saw your presentation/interview for ModCon... Maybe this was just very early on but I'd always just heard this described as "Adds vampires" and had no idea it was such a fantastically indepth World of Darkness (and very much WoD-y "layered on top of actual history"). Really good.

i killed fitty men,

Your our best friend, our pal, our home-boy, our rotten soldier. You're our sweet cheese, our good-time boy.

this the greatest mod in all of neuwe yoork citeeh

XX //

We know, as we have mentioned in the body of the text description of the mod on this steam workshop page, it currently isn't compatible.

hi there, i just want to let you know that the link for the better barbershop compatch is broken. i also cant find it by searching on workshop. anything you could do about that? thank you

培罗不太光辉的侍者

Thank you ! Its always lovely to hear things like that!

I feel extremely foolish... I have been hunting kingdom and empire tier vampires from day one... when I should have been perusing old but unhanded vampires. rather than taking 12 years to find the emperor of the Sea of shadows. I could use 1 to hunt a distant relative that is 600 years old... so I could have had SO MUCH PIETY AND PRESTIGE and just... haven't been getting it... because I have been hunting hard targets from day 1... also could easily have been getting the traits I need.

Thanks for the Response Karde. I have a hard time getting resources as them at all. I often go negatives. however. good to know there IS a solution. suppose I need to hunt down gold mines and figure out how to go on pilgrimages with a disease covering the entire world that causes 52 danger. pristige for some reason is the only one I don't have a problem with... but Levies mean almost nothing in this mod (they do sit and siege while your useful troops fight fine though) gonna try using the first infusion of cash for pilgrimage. the piety may well help me get out of the hole. Also. I figured out why it was taking forever on the lair thing... I was going after possibly the hardest target in the world. and I could have focused on catch and release for instant lair finds instead.

Inquisitors, as well as most non immortal splats, have buildings that can give lifestyle xp to a point of outpacing even vanilla. That's how you are supposed to build your power base over several generations

I have also now spent 3 lifetimes trying to find the lair of one vampire. I don't neccesarilly think thats bad... excpet that it resets every time I die... so... I will never find this vampire. its impossible... its... become pretty poorly tuned. if you could just keep progress between charecters it would be fine.. but otherwise we have to be able to find them faster if inquisitors are going to be playable.

so I have a bit of a problem. I understand that the exp gain in this mod was greatly reduced for vampires (to prevent them from maxing out other trees) but this didn't used to apply to humans like the inquisition. now it does. my inquisitors can no longer even get a SINGLE TRAIT in an ENTIRE HUMAN LIFETIME! Inquisitor Jehan Huntress of tomorrow of Acer... unable to get a single military trait in an20 years + 70% exp gain (Genius + Brilliant Stratagist) its absurd. I played her from 40 to 67... and nothing nothing at all. and her heir? the one who doesn't have scripted traits? well. they had actually 0 lifestyle traits their entire life... I don't know if this is intentional or something broke... but its basically unplayable like this. Humans can't feed on others to gain EXP.

cool mod, but im playin as a demon and I can't attack or interact with any other ruler, says they're outside my diplomatic range even though their country borders mine.

A unique mod that always cares about the player's experience and strives to make the mod better

剑舞者 , thats subjective. We are always striving to make it more interesting. If you have exhausted POD for CK3, there are some other great mods you might want to check out! Maybe check back with us in a few months when we release our update for Paradox's DLC All Under Heaven.

It doesn't feel as interesting as before

Chough : that interaction didn't work. It bypassed every single check and converted all your vassals. If we can make it work properly, meaning making sure it checks if the vassal would actually accept, then it might come back

Prince of Pain, the only thing changed with the latest version of the mod was a single trigger and the version number.

Check that you are on the latest version of CK3 and the latest version of the mod. Verify your file integrity.

It seems that the latest version leads to crash.

@Karde I'm not talking about individual conversion of faith, but rather an interaction that demands all vassals to convert with a single click.

I think the new Tributary mechanic is a bit broken for immortal characters (vampire, kuei-jin, true fae, mummy, etc.). Vanilla tributaries are designed to be a "for your lifetime" thing. That doesn't mix well with unending lifetimes. I also haven't seen any mechanic for a tributary to break free. Catching the Black Cross empire at a vulnerable moment and making them my tributary, and having that last for centuries without any trouble just didn't feel right.

Chough : I'm not even sure what you are talking about. You can one click convert faith in the faith window as usual. Only exceptions are if you are trying to go from say a vampire faith to a werewolf faith since that would break our scripts

Orangenord : Seems like a major case of wrong installation. Start from scratch and don't use any other mods. Delete everything, unsuscribe, re suscribe etc

i just cannot open it.

I love, love this mod but it has not allowed for seduction to work anymore, graphic error on the convert culture and religion, and the character creation is not working anymore as it defaults to a very large nude woman. Even going back to older versions that worked it is not working as it did.

While vanilla CK adds powerful new gameplay elements with each update, PoD is moving backwards - every patch removes viable strategies for rapid progression. The most baffling part? Even if you're balancing by someway, why remove one-click religion conversion? They're literally deleting convenient player functions. Do you really intend to force players through unprecedented grind, tedious and repetitive operations, and Souls-like difficulty to achieve your ideal mod experience?

Not yet, it will be added back when we work on demon domicile

Is there no Nephilim decision in the new version?

Sparc, Thanks a ton for the help. RIP to my wandering Vampire.

Constantinople loses all building upgrades on load

鬼MissSatan,

If your save file is from BEFORE the lastest update, then its probably an issue where the index numbers for portraits reference the old index numbers. Paradox added new hair styles (etc...) in the last update... which could have impacted the gene index numbers.

1) Revert to the previous version of CK3 and POD.
or
2) Start a new game and play that (RIP your old save file)

Probably its a good idea to do 2 anyway, as there might be other weirdness with using an old save file on an updated version of the game andmod.

Sparc, Cecilia 'The Desired', sorry, I was writing without thinking. She's not a canon character but I've seen her in multiple play throughs in different eras. After I load the game her hair is brown and she looks nothing like her character but if I start a new game she's back to being blond and fair skinned.

The comparison between New Game Vlad and my Loaded game, he lacks his eye colour, his skin is pale, his hair is now light brown, his face is now more rounded. Whereas for her her entire face structure is just different. It's strange.

鬼MissSatan, there is no canon character "Celine" in the mod. Do you mean the easter egg Marceline?

A lot of characters are getting portrait DNA for the first time. A few have recently been reworked. I don't think that was done to Vlad Tepes.

Strange issue on my end after the update. All of the characters in the game after relaunching the game lose their original appearances. For instance my character has different values completely. Celine is now a brunette and looks different. Dracula got more Turkish looking.

Gunsaremagic, make sure you are both using the same version of the mod, with the same version of CK3, and neither one of you are in debug mode.

strange for some reason when i tried to play with someone it keeps saying different checksum

Gunsaremagic, some people play it.

so i have a question. With the recent update adding the other Fera options, at least the basic splat options, i noticed also some extinct Fera as well as being playable. Does that mean we will get to play with the Saber-tooth Bastet, the Khara as a possible option in the future? They are generally my favorite of the Bastet.

does mp work

The POD/Barbershop Compatch is gone :c

I suggest you give barons a minimum income of 0.1 per month. I've got a baron (kuei jin local ancestor) in my prison with negative one gold and zero income. They've been trapped for 21 years. I think if they could always afford their own ransom every 25 years that wouldn't be too much of a free gold pinata.

# Princes of Darkness, "Wind from the East", Version 1.16.2.2, 5/26/2025
- Compatibility with Crusader Kings III 1.16.2.2 "Chamfron" hotfix

## Debug
- Added a character interaction in Debug Mode that opens the Vicissitude portrait editor, letting you change certain characteristics like height or muscularity

Also, this is just my opinion, but tempt to sin feels extremely broken after finishing the first demon objective I can vassalize most of the map extremely quickly.
