Faerun - Forgotten Realms Total Conversion

Welcome once again to the world of the Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms setting.

As of version 0.6.0, the entire map is playable in every start date, and with the final start date moved to include a minor bookmark for the film Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, we have over 140 years of playable starts!

Beyond that, our changes tend towards quality of life improvements, making the mod more immersive, playable, and stable. To that end, the magic system is currently a work in progress, and not all spellcasting classes can use it yet; check out the tutorial to see how to use it in its latest form. Where you'll see the biggest improvements are in game play for humanoid characters, with a full range of classes available, and several custom governments. We have newly-adapted graphics for existing playable species such as yuan-ti and giants, and fresh graphics never before used in CK2 for newly added playable species. There's also several other new decisions.

Version 0.4.0 added the southern continent of Zakhara, home to a powerful religious orthodoxy and a diverse range of cultures. Zakhara is still under development - subsequent versions will have more playable characters and story events for it. We've also added numerous societies, including several knightly orders, and two societies that are specific to Zakhara. Along with the new Zakharan religious group, we've overhauled the rest of the mod's religions - now you can pledge yourself to Tyr as a member of the Triadic faith, worship the sun in Elturel, make dark sacrifices to Thasmudyan in the Ruined Kingdoms, or join the Mercantile faith to make profits in the name of Waukeen.

Version 0.5.0 saw a complete set of fully-featured character classes - twelve classes each with seven tiers. We will always keep polishing those classes, and we are considering possible candidates for additional classes too, but from this version onwards, the class system is complete as we had originally envisioned it. (To answer a perennial FAQ, the Shadow class is not a canon D&D class, but links together concepts from AD&D first edition's assassins, AD&D second edition's ninjas and holy slayers, and 5e's Mastermind rogue, to create a class that is particularly adapted to CK2's intrigue environment.)

I'd say we have succeeded in our basic goal of transporting the Forgotten Realms, and especially their central continent of Faerûn, into Crusader Kings 2. Please take and enjoy this beta release - it's intended as a fully playable game in its own right. But there's also a way to go before we can say we have fully reproduced the Forgotten Realms and D&D experience, so we welcome all bug reports, and all reasonable suggestions for enhancements.

Moving forward, we intend to create more of our own events and systems, to really make players feel like they're a ruler in the Forgotten Realms. This includes events to represent both specific and general happenings and challenges within the world of the game, a magic system that makes spellcasting characters rewarding and distinctive to play without overwhelming the core game elements, and more appropriate events and decisions for non-humanoid rulers. We're also creating magic items, and continuing to deepen and diversify our portrayal of the setting's religions.But for now, we are excited to share this release with you, a collective project of many passionate people.Thanks again for your support, we hope you enjoy the mod.NeutronDecayBoneLorde/ShadeosTenebNendurOlroxtsf4FireWraithMany of the non-vanilla dynamic character graphics are by Silfae from the Warhammer: Geheimnisnacht team, and are used with permission. I've based most of my edits on his originals, for which I'm very grateful. We also have some assets provided with the permission of the Project Middle Earth team and Mythos 2, and some statics by CrackdToothGrin. Latterly, we have had the support of the excellent Nendur, and his own Better Looking Garbs mod has a version that is compatible with this mod.-- Important info --You can also find this on our Github at https://github.com/ProjectFaerun/FaerunNo portraits/empty portraits submod can be found on Github as well, or through the link below.IF CHARACTER PORTRAITS ARE BECOMING EMPTY, SUBSCRIBE TO THIS: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171054106Spread the word, and enjoy!
