Very fun mod, any chance you could change the confederacy's primary species to Kaleesh? Or even droids? Least favorite part of the playthrough is the fact that Nemodians start out as your primary species.

Can you make a Count Doku one?

to be honest, this is the only good and literally only submod for new dawn
and i wouldnt have it any other way, because this shit is so good
props to you op

Could you do one for Maul on Mandalore or maybe his own faction on dathomir?

Now I can finally Greive it

@Cyanide what ever is easiest for you ill be sure to credit you for the fix

@Ract How do you want them?

@cyanide can do also feel free to send the files you edited to me if you want ill try yo update it as soon as possible

@Ract I figured it out. Looks like its the Kalees_portraits.txt file, you need to put in automaton_hulk_01 everywhere in there. I replaced all the kaleesh portraits and renamed them just to be grievous, and I put the automaton_hulk_01 everywhere it said kaleesh_male or something and it worked flawlessly even after game start. If you havent messed with the main game and your mod like I have, try this step for me and see if it's a permenant fix because I can't fix my game anymore.

Oh dear

@cyanide god damm bro yea im not the best when it comes to coding so this mod is made using hevely edited pre-existing codes from other mods stitched together like some Frankenstein mod im gonna try and fix that in the future

Start a game as the confed
click begin on the first prompt
~ for console put in debugtooltip and hover over the human leader
get the id near the bottom of the list of stats of the leader
save the game and find where your save file went
open the archived save file with either 7zip or winrar or something like that
drag out gamestate and meta
edit gamestate in Notepad++
control+F then put in the human leaders id
find the right traits and country=0
change the "portrait=" line from kaleesh or neimoidian to automaton_hulk_01
save the file
click both gamestate and meta
add them to archive with 7zip
name the save whatever you want but end it with .sav
archive format zip
compression level 3- fast
compression method * deflate
parameters: tc=off
save it and load up stellaris, save file should be there, load up the game and grievous should be there to stay. Haven't tested it yet without my meddling around in the code so it may or may not work sorry
ping me if there's any issues

When you begin the game, it's changing automaton_hulk_01 into kaleesh in the portrait line of the gamestate file. Other empires have their custom leaders that work so there is some conflict in the codes somewhere. Steps I do to fix it is:

I had to edit a pre-existing save game for this to work.

Okay so it might have taken years off my life but I did it. So when you click start game or begin or whatever, the game is changing the portrait to the empires species (Neimoidians) and trying to find a portrait called "Kaleesh" in there (which there is none so it makes it a bald human). I'll have to do more testing to see if everything I did before today was arbitrary or not but it finally worked. I'll get back with steps to replicate and maybe you could somehow implement them into the mods files to somehow make it work Idk how modding works.

@Cyanide I know of this bug dont know what causes it just keep reloading a new game until the model works thats the only fix rn

It's almost as if the portrait in the main menu and the portrait in the actual game are different.

@Capitalist Egg™ And modding it yourself gets extremely complicated. Still haven't found a fix. Thanks for bringing awareness.

I have noticed that the Issue Cyanide brought up has been occurring in my game aswell, not rushing you or anything but it'd be preferable if you fixed this issue. Thank You!

add a kalee people, i wish to revive his species

Hey! Amazing mod but recently every time I start a game as the CIS and load into the map, the General is not his cyborg self, he's still Kaleesh. Is this a bug or is that supposed to happen? Thanks

@Ractoon Count Dooku was replaced by a clone. Like Starkiller. So its obviosly that he will return.

@Ractoon Thank you man, appreciate it. Lmk if you find a fix as im looking forward to bringing back separatist supremacy as grievous!.

@Trump that's weird it should be working for ya ill look into it

@Ractoon Just the 2

@Trump are you just running New Dawn and this Mod or do you have other mods enabled to?

@Ractoon Hasn't changed anything. I also have all dlc's now

@Trump no it just requires New Dawn your issue is most likely the New Dawn county mod overwriting my mod try launching the game with only my mod and New Dawn enabled

@Ractoon, does it require DLC's? I only have the New Dawn and New Dawn country mod as well as this on enabled

@Trump weird the mod works fine for the people I had play test it you might have some mod conflicts or just a really weird bug

Doesn't have any effect for me. I still have the normal portrait

@Boundedsleet thats just a small glitch that happens occasionally I haven't figured out to fix. You just gotta start up a new game until it works

for some reason whenever I load the game with this, his portrait isn't as it should be, looks hella scuffed, looks fine when pre loading but then looks like a scuffed 'normal' Kaleesh portrait.

@Ractcoon I thought so, no worries it's a fun mod as it is.

@Epex that would require way to much code work for me to deal with its way easier to just add him as a new starting leader

I don't know anything about modding or how hard this would be to implement but finding a dig site as the CIS and digging up General Grievous and then getting a situation to rebuild him would be cool as heck.

NOW, i need a Republic remnant, Clones resistance and all that..

@nilsw78 unfortunately no I only planed for Greivious although Dooko is a personal favorite of mine his return would be harder to justify, On account of him getting straight up decapitated apposed to grievous getting his innards toasted

Count Dooku is coming too?

Im about to run this with the Primarch mod, and have the great crusade in star wars

Don't supposed it would be possible to get a Clone Republic Loyalist Holdout added? Ngl this is great but but kinda would be funnier to destroy the Empire with the very things they tried to dispose of lol

this mod will make a fine addition to my collection

i needed ts, thankyou my little sunshine

ruh roh

Now He Shall be Killing.

This is so lore cannon, I don't know what you mean. We all know that the 'real' Grievous from legends was replaced for being too competent {LINK REMOVED}(https://youtu.be/8UFE8RmfiJE?t=89).

could be lore friendly to legends. N-K Necrosis

If Darth Maul can survive being bisected and falling down a pit, why not a cyborg getting his organs cooked?

amazing !
