I have big release almost ready but it was not released waiting for the perfect moment, but then i got some life stuff i needed to attend to, i planning to resume the development

i was on pause due to RL circumstances, i plan to renew development at end of July
Thanks for kind words

I spent just a couple hours playing around in this and found it extremely interesting!

Discord invite is no longer valid. Is work yet ongoing?

?

This looks amazing, cant wait to try it out

Waiter more smurfs please

@Doctor AiBoBo Yes, it is in this mod that it happens and in ck3 agot. I ended up finding out what was causing this bug, I wanted to play in Spanish, but apparently it's not compatible.

The mod is under intensive development. I am very active on the discord and posting there updates of development of upcoming (quite big) Alpha 1.3 release. If you need any help about this mod, feel free to reach me there

@Jeremyhezz - are you sure this was with this mod, this could not happen if you run clean installation of it. It also compatible with tons of other different mods. If you need any help - with this mod or PMG - come to chat in Arikuri channels on PMG Discord server - the link is posted in top of the Mod description

@GodKingMalik Please check the roadmap, this is medieval science fiction mod https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/1h6l25h/arikuri_mod_dev_diary_a_different_kind_of/ - there will be no elves but there are different nations with varied genetics

Elves"plzs

All my provinces had the name "Fletcher", what could have happened?

Development of big release - Alpha 1.3 is ongoing. Please check elaborate DevLog :
https://discord.gg/dah8tN7n
Finalized design for Writing systems - added two writing system maps to mod image assets

New Dev Blog was posted, and some visuals added to media

Starting of development of complex writing systems that will affect many parts of the mod and it's setting - starting from meta level, going into visuals and even mechanics.

Thank You.
This is just beginning, we are working on bringing more immersion and flavor of this strange, new world named Arikuri.

Incoming patch was split into two releases in order to allow you to enjoy some ready things earlier :
V1.2 - Very Soon (26 - 30.11.24) - Bringing/Emphasizing own unique setting character, Essential fixes and polishes
- 1st Volume of Airkuri Original Soundtrack, featuring dozen of unqiue Arikuri tracks
- 1st Arikuri Loading Screen
- some immersion refinement for religion naming
- fixing double faith bug
- fixing missing localization entries for heritages and religions, including descriptions
- culture tradition polish
- religion cleanup and and polish, some religion merges

V1.3 - Next After it - Bringing more flavor of the world
- first portion of bookmarks
- first Arikuri video trailer. Hell yeah
- complete immersion-centered revamp for holy sites, including placements, bonuses
- few new unique to Arikuri religion traits

I have been playing this mod all day with some other mods i enjoy, this has been so much fun and a breath of fresh air for me. I never thought i would enjoy playing as a warlord wanderer perpetual fighting in his religions homeland to one day regain complete autonomy.

@gallezed please come to discord channel dedeicated to Arikuri on PMG server. I will answer all questions there and tell about the intentions. So far I plan on things listed below + some surprizes that will give maximum immersion and flavor.

Anything else will be considered after the basics of personification/immersion are done and polished.

Though I do not know what you guys have planned I feel like its a really unique concept that can go in many different directions depending on your intententions and direction

Another question of course only for far in the future: Have you guys considered implementing the ruins/wilderness system which agot/ godjhera/ and lotr use. Where you can colonise, rebuild, settle and build holdings on pieces of forgotten/destroyed etc. land?

Announcement for next major alpha update (the work is started but there lots of it, things are wip).
As you should expect most of the items will have effect and after testing will be pushed/merged to PMG. Main focus is flavor and immersion:
- first portion of bookmarks
- first Arikuri video trailer. Hell yeah
- complete immersion-centered revamp for holy sites
- some immersion refinement for religion naming
- fixing double faith bug
- fixing missing localization entries for heritages and religions
- culture tradition polish
- some wildcard stuff - things may change and bit more things added

@gallezed
Thanks for suggestion, we will examine this for one of next releases.

Now we are focused on more basic things like bookmarks, holy sites, culture polish, religions flavors, decisions, events, invasions.
Once we gain some maturity in those areas we will consider such integrations

I think they are generally fine with it, as long as you ask. Since mods like agot, elder kings 2, also use, and various mods have compatches for it

@gallezed If the creators of the mod will be willing to collaborate and allow usage of their material in Arikuri - sure, why not

will you potentially be adding or integrating elements of cities of wonder in this mod?

Начало положено.доводите дело до конца парни.я мечтал о генерации мира с самого выхода игры.почему это не могут сделать разработчики непонятно.сделали как длс-кому надо купит.

nvm! my dumb ass just scrolled down and saw the link

Is there a discord server? I'd like to follow and possibly aid in the development of this unique setting. :)

@1stfedorafish
Total conversion mods typically begin and released as alphas without fully developed world - these elements evolve during development. As this is an early alpha release, we're focusing on foundational worldbuilding aspects.
Our extensive roadmap will add depth and flavor to locations, nations, and religions. Having experienced the early stages of major total conversion mods, I can say it's pretty solid and can provide challenging and immersive gameplay already.
The diverse cultures and faiths reflect real-world complexity better than vanilla's generalized approach. PMG/Arikuri generation considers geography and isolation, creating distinct cultural pockets - imagine green-skinned giants dwelling in mountain valleys amid predominantly short, pink-skinned peoples.
Regarding Holy Sites, the game allows reformation without prerequisites, though having only one HS makes it more challenging. Improving Holy Sites is a priority on our near-term roadmap.

Really cool idea and is very impressive on a worldbuilding and alternative geography standpoint. If you are reading this before playing, then you'll have a nice few hours and maybe a few lives. Given more time, this could be extremely fleshed out. But as the title says, this is more of a showcase of a map generator rather than an actual total conversion. That means no bookmarks, no decisions, nothing actually gameplay wise. If I could put to cents in, I would gut a lot of cultures and faiths. There are too much, and having hundreds is not a boast. Because you'll have dozens of unreformed one county faiths that can't be reformed because there aren't even enough holy sites. Otherwise, can't wait until this fleshes out because it is a cool idea

@Kirikaze

https://discord.com/invite/JwxuuK7HrV - please check discussed roadmap
1. is part of the roadmap already. We can say it is even in work right now. Will be done in one of the closest updates.
2. I am not sure what you mean - please elaborate in discord

@Axem Black
What are you referring to? Because this sounds amazing but I ever heard of it before.

i accidentally said "culture groups" i meant religious groups my bad i mixed up the words

I cant find the discord link to suggest this there but I have a couple suggestions (I'm ingame rn)

1. Every single religion and their religious groups end with "ism" SOME religions should end in ism but not all and not the culture groups only individual religions should end in "ism"

2. Names, local empires and maybe kingdoms should be named after or similar to the dominant culture in the region, not randomized entirely, and randomized names should be split into pools that are all similar sounding in their region and only apply to one region that way it seems like these places have their own languages and feel more immersive

i remember playing something like this for CK2 years ago, where you could freehand the outlines of a map, and the mod would then generate unique and randomized cultures, religions, and titles and you hit the ground running The religions even had elaborate flavor context. Man, i've been looking for something like that for CK3 since it came out. Hats off to you guys

Feel free to join PMG discord and suggest your ideas. I will try, as much as i can, to ensure that PMG and Arikuri provide enough flavor and immersion

looking foward to it. I myself have played so some self creted generated worlds, with help of the generator, but have felt that without decisions and flavour the worlds feel a bit lifeless. So I am interested to see how this project will deal with that

Thank you. As a PMG contributor, I will maintain Arikuri as an experimental staging environment for new PMG developments, approved by core devs and ck2rpg, but undergoing final testing. It will focus on showcasing PMG's immersion potential.

While PMG generations focus on world generation and remain compatible with many flavor mods by leaving various areas untouched, Arikuri will develop its own distinct flavor and lore while maintaining the same compatibility matrix as PMG.

Both will receive updates expanding generation capabilities, but Arikuri will exclusively get unique content (bookmarks, trailers, flavor information) created via OS AI models - sometimes pioneering approaches for future PMG releases.

Nice job! Will you be adding some flavour/unique decisions to the overall world in the future? Or perhaps integrating mods like the chat gpt mod?

for now you can try to use Procedural Map Generator - link to its steam page and tutorial appear in the description (it can help you to understand the total conversion modding) - and from there join it's Discord from where people may help you.

Hey, I've been meaning to do my own TCM for ck3 and was planning on doing a custom map but I'm having some troubles with it, how did you make it?

Really cool idea, would love to see more total conversions with unique settings like this one.

thank you, yeah, ck2rpg (creator of PMG) started awesome idea, and few people, me included helping him to allow unique map generation for your campaigns. I also working on integrating tools like Rock 3 with the generator, and generator also have terrain brush painter with high potential.

Also there possibility that at some point i will try to integrate open source LLM for more advanced users, so if toggled on generation process may communicate with standard OpenAI/anthropic apis or with OSS llama to help with generation of flavorful descriptions for generated stuff.

Please stay tuned. This mod (Arikuri) and PMG will be getting some mindblowing updates.

the idea of having the posibility to have unique maps for a campaign sounds so cool

neat
