Description
Ever wondered how the people of the medieval ages would deal with time travelers? Thought about how the organized religions of the world would react to real magic? Want to create a mod about your favorite character introducing the light of modern civilization to the peasantry, but didn't know where to start? Here is the mod for you!

THIS MOD DOES NOTHING BY ITSELF!
It is a framework to allow multiple characters to show up with wildly different innovations without having to create eras for each one. The Lost Souls Readme.txt contains examples of how to create a mod compatible with this framework.

Mod main points:
  • New Era - This mod adds a new cultural era: the Anachronistic era. This is an umbrella era for all of the innovations that might be introduced from time travelers, portal wanderers, isekai characters, and the like. It also unlocks the year requirements for each era, because eras are sequential, and the medieval ones need to be advanced through for any anachronistic cultures to get to the Anachronistic Era.
  • Character appearances - New characters can appear based on onactions in subsequent mods. It usually takes the form of an outsider showing up at your court, though other kinds of events may occur as an indication that an outsider has arrived.
  • Randomization options - Options can be set at game start that allow for several types of playthroughs:
    • Characters will start spawning after the first year (This is for people who want to start things quickly)
    • Characters will not start spawning until 25 years after game start, with increasing chances every 25 years, until all have spawned around 125 years after game start. (This is for people who want to go through a few generations before outsiders start showing up)
    • Characters have a specified date that they will appear (Note that depending on your start date some characters will not show up if the bookmark is after their appearance)

Compatibility
No overwritten vanilla files, so should work fine with pretty much anything. NOT Achievements compatible, unfortunately. Make sure this is before any Lost Souls mods in the load order. I would recommend starting a new save when installing this mod.

Future Features:
Timeline of Character Appearances - updated when new Lost Souls mods are published

Future Lost Souls Character Mods
Original Fantasy Mercenary Groups - Ariadu - In progress
Historical Scientists Pack

Personal Note:
This is my first published CK3 mod. Let me know in the discussion section about improvements, bugs etc. and I will try to address your concerns. This mod was created mostly for my own enjoyment of CK3 and I would like to share it with you. Improving it would help us both. I do this in my spare time,
but if you want to send me a tip you can do so here: PayPal[www.paypal.me]

This mod was inspired by the many individual mods that added certain characters, cultures, or faiths, but were incompatible with each other, overwrote vanilla files, or exist only in massive overhauls.

I will be adding machine-translated localizations when I have time. If you are a translator, feel free to reach out to me and I will add your localization.

Would be cool to see something like this enabling adventurers who are lost in time and space, or recruiting isekaied characters.

I personally think that Yankee culture should be in the West Germanic Culture Group.

I do really enjoy the whole concept behind the mod/s and I hope you'll revisit them in the future, though I understand life exists and you gotta deal with that

I really enjoyed this mod back when; hopefully you can update it or pass the torch to someone else. Unfortunately, it crashes current versions of CK3, and I haven't got the knowledge at the moment to update it myself. I like the premise and stomping medieval armies with anachronistic forces - becoming a constitutional monarchy with the Hank Morgan storyline was an interesting game with a Roman restoration.

I'm still alive, life has been difficult. I may get back into CK3 modding, but depends on motivation and when the constant stream of updates and DLC slows down. I program for a living, and I find that it is difficult to maintain several projects simultaneously. Thank you to everyone for your support! This is an open framework, feel free to contribute your own character ideas and campaigns!

This is the most unique mod idea i think ive seen for CK3, bravo!

needs to be updated though, hope some godly person comes to update it

Armaman isn't playing CK3 for now. I'll try and get in touch myself, but yes, the mod is outdated.

The framework is open and unique, so see if you can transfer the system to 1.9 and beyond. The biggest challenge is going to depend on which new feature this can leverage, but if you are interested and have some ways to do it, make a discussion and I'll nudge Armaman to make it official.

tl;dr mod is on ice until we have more people to work on it. Read above to find out how.
