Medieval Fantasy Xenotypes and Factions
This mod adds a collection of new xenotypes and factions for fantasy races including:
  • High Elves- Adds a high elf kingdom of dexterous Elves which live for a long time and have bonuses with pycasting.
  • Elves - Adds a tribe of tribal elves who are dexterous and long lived (ie. wood elves).
  • Dark Elves - Adds a tribe of savage dark elves who are violent and good at combat.
  • Blood Elves - Unhappy elves skilled with magic. (WIP)
  • Snow Elves - Angry pale elves who are adept at surviving in the cold. (WIP)
  • Dwarves - These short stout humanoids excel at mining and have their own realm.
  • Gnomes- These short stout humanoids excel at intellectual and mining.
  • Draenei- Hooved humanoids from WOW (WIP)
  • Orcs - The large humanoids live in a tribe and are violent brutes who excel at combat but not much else.
  • Goblins - These tiny green humanoids live in a violent cannibalistic tribe and are quite annoying to deal with.
  • Kobolds - These tiny rat-dragons live in a violent cannibalistic tribe and are quite annoying to deal with.
  • Dracthyr - These dragonoid lizardfolks live in a violent tribe and are powerful and can fly but difficult to maintain control over.
  • Lizardfolk - A tribe of nudist small lizardfolk who lay eggs are weak but plentiful.

It also adds factions for some of the basegame xenotypes to fit in medieval settings: pigskin tribe and yytakin tribe. Lastly, there is a multi-species kingdom you can befriend which includes almost all species (including some from Biotech).

Lastly, I've also added quite a few new xenotype icons or symbols for whatever random species you might want to make.

My 1.4 Medieval Modlist:
If you are looking for a "streamlined" Medieval modlist then check this out:
1.4 Medieval Modlist
I've taken care to ensure that it is multiplayer compatible.

Dependencies:
These modpack is dependent on Biotech, Ideology, Harmony Mod, Vanilla Factions Expanded, Outland Genetics, and Alpha Genes.

I have tried coding in the dependency for everything in case you are missing things but I am bound to have missed things; there may be bugs.

Compatibles:
These modpack has additional compatibility for:
- Vanilla Factions Expanded: Medieval - Support for the High Elf, Dwarf, and multi-species kingdoms.
- Metabolic Adjusters - Adjusts the new xenotypes to be a bit more in line with my settings. Also, adds additional size adjustments for various species.

TODO:
- Unique factions with Vikings.
- Custom names for the various factions.
- Addition of a gnome species and faction.

Thanks!
Special thanks to Neronix, the author of the fantastic Outland series, I couldn't have made this mod without their hard work with the variety of additional genetics! It's exactly what we are needing for a medieval fantasy playthrough.

Thanks to NGDaniel for the cover/preview art!

Throws me a ton of errors now. Too many to list. Needs an update.

Hello, if it's okay. Can you please create a separate mod for vanilla xenotype factions? I really like the tribal/medieval pigskin :(
James009  [author] Dec 3, 2023 @ 9:42am 
Good point, I think most of them are referencing medieval tech. I'll add that as a requirement.

@crashaholic187 I had the same problem but figured it out. This mod has a soft requirement for Vanilla Factions Extended - Medieval. Some of the factions try to reference that mod (like the dwarves) even though it's not listed as a dependency.

Most of the factions are not showing up on world generation for me? They are not even in the choice list.

so far my goblins ive encountered are all baseliner. I can go in and assign each one i see with the goblin xenotype, but why isnt it doing it by itself?

Fair enough, thanks James! I sure do hope you figure out how to put it into mod manager settings to make it so we can choose what we want more easily.

With Xenotype Spawn Control, I was able to adjust the race % of factions too, including the multi-racial city. Its just tedious because there's 4 tabs, and the first two tabs are Factions and then pawns...which you have to choose things like what is the pop % of beggars, quest givers, pawns that spawn from this or that. Very tedious.

With no modding experience, can I go and just chop out bits of your mod (races) in an XML or notepad file to use myself? Is that a thing or how badly do you think I'd break it?
James009  [author] Feb 23, 2023 @ 11:15am 
Sure, don't spawn in their factions. There is also the multi-racial species you can turn off if you don't want to see them. Besides that there is a small chance of any race showing up for events but they should be rare.

One day I'd enjoy putting that into a mod manager setting but I have no idea how to do that at this point.
