📋 About This Mod
This mod does the following:
1. Eliminates cloning nobles - this mod overrides vanilla cloning existing nobles to fill clans and creates brand new ones instead
2. Children genetics - while vanilla has improved, most children will still be near clones. This mod improves the formula so the degree children look like each other and their parents varies
3. Equipment assignment - this is extensive as it required cleaning up both the XML and writing new code. Men will no longer wear women's clothing, non rulers will no longer wear crowns, and when children come of age they will always have the right gear and not walk into battle in just a tunic and no weapon
4. New rulers get crowns - whenever either a new NPC or the player take over a faction or start their own, they will be crowned with their culture's crown
5. New hairstyles - this mod adds new hairstyles which I will add to and refine, to add more variety to the game and give the player a few more choices
6. Culture based hair - vanilla gives each culture just a range of hair instead of assigning each one specifically, this is most obvious when a distinctively Khuzait hair style is frequently worn by Battanians. No more.
7. Weight and Build for all NPCs - in vanilla only the player and predefined nobles have weight and build. This mod makes sure all NPCs, from notables to children and even your companions have weight and build. There are also factors that influence how big they can get.
8. Recruit Kingdomless Clans - you can now recruit kingdomless clans - you just need a -10 relation or higher. It's simple right now as there is little reason for a clan to stay independent aside from hating you.
9. Rebel leader equipment - rebel leader's will use their own culture's gear now instead of a random minor faction's gear.
IMPORTANT! Regarding mod compatibility - I have updated this mod to maximize compatibility with nearly every mod including custom cultures. If there are issues with XML data in a mod you can expect to see warning messages like below on game more, but the game should not crash. If it does, let me know as the fallback mechanism will need updating. Thank you.
I will be adding the ability to toggle this off as not every culture may need every set - Vakken for example don't have children sets and may not need them in your load order. But I want to make sure you are all away if the mod is unable to manage equipment sets in certain scenarios properly.
Noble, Notable, Children and all other Heroes' Hair, Beards and Face Markings
First if you are not using Beard Fixes, shame on you, it's a must. Use it to appreciate this more. Hairstyles are only roughly assigned based on culture, a long and boring story short it's been severely limited and I've now fixed it... F
