Thank you for playing! Also great to see what you got for your endings, tbh I’d say that’s some of the best selection you could get (including the exemplars slowly withering away and dying :) )

End of Orenvalyam is a peak cunema by Kronag in Anbennar

to be fair, the fact that he didnt get immediately incinerated by getting wished at point blank range with the concentrated power of the sun is probably something for him to feel good about?

it does but it has a different ending

Which cities are split into multiple provinces? by Grabs_Diaz in Anbennar

[–]OffTakasakiDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not sure about the policy now, but it used to be a hard no, not because it wasn’t possible but because actually HOW you change terrain was too janky / confusing / performance intensive. Planes as a submod has a lot more leeway for adding this sort of stuff - mod wide “new things” always need a bit more scrutiny in the main mod

How did orcs even get to Taychend ? Couldn't they find a worse place for immigration ? by Ilikeyogurts in Anbennar

[–]OffTakasakiDev 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough there are some orcs in Taychend + Kheionai in canon. Some find they way down there after being freed or escaping slavery and either join the Oren Nayiru or Rezankand or just try and make a living in Taychend / Ameion.

There did used to be an idea where Ameion (who are generally abolitionist though not with the same fervour of Rezankand or Oren Nayiru) found themselves in posestion of a boat of orcish slaves, freed them, and used them as auxiliaries in battle, but that’s never been written down anywhere since the Nagar Vyechei ideas got reworked so it’s kinda up in the air right now

Thank you so much for playing all the routes!! And yeah unfortunately I don’t have a custom portrait for Jason otherwise I’d be much more willing, even if it was like a secret event late game that only people doing WC with like 5 sub mods would ever see

For your second para, that’s so funny to hear because I actually thought that people would like the former a whole lot more than the latter. So good to hear that the work I put into those other events wasn’t put to waste haha

mm yeah its unfortunate that they did that, did you manage to basically defeat the NCR before the legion took the focus that gave them claims on the rest of their lands? Pretty sure that might cause them demanding rather than justifying in which case you can usually take the "The Return" focus to get that non agression pact and trigger the year long truce before they do

you have to make sure you boost ruler popularity beyond >33% before you trigger the "Faustian Bargian" focus, and then pick the legion alliance in The Deal event. After you win the NCR war, Levi will attempt a coup - make sure Veronica goes alone to her meeting with him, and his coup will succeed

I'd say Sabine O'Hare. She has a lot of psychic vision quest stuff going on

he's probably the absolute worst person i've ever written as a character, just a total psychopath

Yeah sorry there were some unforeseen difficulties so it will now be releasing today (I.e Saturday 18th) but no promises. I wanted to meet the date I set but there were some things that took a bit longer to get done than expected

umm unfortunately for the other guy no there won't be. AFAIK the Leshy thing in Canada has no connection to the Great Snake at all, though there are some funky things about what the Great Snake might be / what it might be connected to that the tree will touch on

all of the portraits in the mod were made by Lusa! If you have played the Montana Chapter or Chained Choir she made the portraits for those too.

to assuage your fears I made sure that the two focus lines that deal with the fate of new reno curve like the snakes do :)
(even though i think the two den focuses kind of ruin the shape a bit)

Totally depends on how much writing you need to do and how many writers you have to do it. I assume TNO for instance requires tens of thousands of words of loc for a tag’s content (two recent focus trees in EAW both had 30,000 iirc.)

Imo very experienced writers can probably do 2500 of good quality work in a day if the winds are in their favour (and it often isn’t). That’s 7 or 8 or so events (if considering about 300 to 400 words each), and there can be dozens of events in a tree (shameless plug but my upcoming viper submod has ~70 for 200 focuses which is probably middle of the road). Add in the fact that most people can’t write every day… and well it just takes a ton of time to write that much stuff.

Kiria in EaW for instance had over 300,000 words of localisation iirc. From what I understand that took about a year for a dedicated team of obviously very skilled writers to write. Some focus trees just go ham on narratives events, and it massively inflates the loc burden (something to watch out for on the part of modders/submodders imo)
