Malakai Makaisson in Karak Dum - Start Position Change

@Green Rabbit hah good catch. I'm instead doing that as a part of the old world start positions mod

hey i read on reddit that you plan to add a mod that moves him to karak azorn? are still planning on it? cz it would be amazing having more choices n all thanks

Yeah I also learned that this mod is incompatible with Reclaim the Holds.

It seems that some of the scripted setup stuff triggers callbacks that result in errors. I'll note it in the mod since there's not really much I can do without risking the mod's compatibility with a broader range of mods

It was incompat with "Bad Legendary Characters - Legendary Lords / Legendary Heroes" that Jenosite already kindly fixed and updated their mod problem resolved

Hello brother, a friendly user let me know that your precious mod has a new recent conflict with mod "Bad Legendary Characters - Legendary Lords / Legendary Heroes", that wasnt the case before (appeared recently). I will let know Jenosite as well

I never bothered to check for Malakai mods but this one is almost exactly what I needed to enjoy the engineer slayer again - Elspeth was just too huge of a competitor back then.

Almost, because even if the starting point is perfectly manageable, Malaki being so OP, it still lacks in the RP dpt and could use some tweaks so that the starting province doesn't push you North/East into Archaon and Kolek, but to Karak Drak / Chaos Dwarfs, and Kislev. Or if you didn't need to kill the poor ogres. As of now, you just don't have the choice but to delete the Chaos, which is fine, but not what the campaign aims at.

I use the console to change that but... it feels like cheating, it kinda breaks the mood (and the mod, ahah) (ahem), and I'm just too old and blind to learn how to mod =)

Anyway, really great and straightforward job, so the long commentary, thanks !

Right, I understand what you're going for here. Maybe one day i'll give it a try :)

@RogueSkeptic, thanks! pretty much all of my start position mods are compatible through all updates unless they directly mess with starting locations that I'm changing

@Therivox, I knew this would be kind of doomed, which is the point - you're playing as a slayer going to the middle of the wastes to a place called Karak Dum
Malakai is uniquely designed to be an effective nomadic faction, so try to survive!

Nice if you really want a challenge, but not really fun to have Archeaon and Astrogoth teaming up on you from turn 10. Campain lasted until turn 20.
Using this knowledge, I suppose you can turtle your starting area until you have tier 3 walls on all 4 settlements when attempting to venture further, but that's not my cup of tea.

Missions sometimes still ask to go to the area around Karak Vlag, which is very far down the list of priorities in this start.
