Radiant Primordial Hive

This mod adds a new Hive strain called "Primordial Hive". I took a very special care to design their new textures and colors, it did cost me some crazy time. This primordial hive and its 4 individuals kinds all have new stats, it's a little bit stronger than the southern hive ones, the mod should still perfectly preserve the game difficulty since you can't have many of them. Historically these guys were the strongest hive strain but mysteriously disapeared from the past.

Most of dialogues received a first correction batch, I'm now also beginning to implement the red queen unique character in the world. An alternative way to recruit red hivers has been set and located in the east slave farm, the 3 slave shops all have 15% chance to spawn a red hiver. They'll have a common red hiver dialogue package still under construction.



A New Hive Strain called : Primordial Hive. Implemented as a whole new race to enhance compatibility with other mods.

• Unique Hive Texture : New tattoo patterns, more details, weariness traces, preventing any texture loss, enhancing these dull hive hands with a whole new photoshop paint job, balancing the dark and light levels, so this texture reach a professional level, the kind i am usually delivering to my employers/customers. I hope you guys will notice the work and appreciate it.
  
• Unique New Stats : (See the screenshot for details) Core roughly the same for the 4 kinds, but kinda different for Skill advantages. Soldier is way ahead of the two other for close combat, he should now be among the top meta dexterity based assassin/recon. Worker is weaker but flexible labouring/turret/crossbow specialist : in short, a solid base keeper ! While the prince become somekind of a shek guy of the hive, with a nice strength ratio, having of course far less body resistance than sheks but on the other side they keep their cleverness and hive mobility. Lastly, the Queen will be your best stay-at-base character for all your craft and research.
  
• New Race descriptions.
  
• 3 Unique New Unique recruits : (See the 2 related screenshots for more details). Now your red hiver main character won't feel alone anymore ... if only you can find them ! It was a tremendous work (1000+ lines of dialogues). A new game is mandatory to make this part of the mod works at 100% ! Though, not doing that won't bring you bugs or crashes on old saves.

Here are other hints if finding them drive you mad, but I gotta say you disappoint me ! (granpa voice : "back in my day we didn't have internet and sometimes not even saves")

Clutch has moved on a new life somewhere in Black Scratch, all the same for Daiko in Sinkhun, Bluerain had no luck and live in one of the slave camps near Heng, he is pretty hard to spot in the crowds or private buildings. Finally Queen Fayane is detained in Tengu's vault.



Tested with 50+ mods, this game has a pretty simple data architecture. It should be compatible with any other mods.
IT DOES NOT ALTER THE VANILLA GAME, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR GAME IT'S PROBABLY NOT THIS MOD FAULT.

This mods needs a clear new game or a full import for old saves to work properly.

*** Official compatibility patches ***

• More Combat Animation (MCA)
  
• Radiant Biosteel Silk Armor

You can find all my mods by searching "Radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.

Even if they represent hundreds of working hours, I'm sharing my mods for free like most of mod creators. But deep down I'm really hoping you to do that little extra thing that would help me a lot : joining any of my pages (patreon, facebook, instagram). Just that really! Don't feel obliged to give something, with Patreon there is indeed a free option that grants you basic news/content and it will only take few seconds of your time. That being said I'm an artist irl and I sometimes struggle to put my personal projects on the saddle. By giving a little something or joining my ranks you can trigger a course of actions/reactions that might end up gathering more people around, thus helping me building the motivation and means to create more stuff to appreciate.
