- More than 100 new traits;
- A new system to distribute traits – allowing plenty of diversity while avoiding the mish-mash of random traits;
- Less traits per character – making those few traits define the character (average of 4 to 7 traits per character);
- The gaining and loosing of traits is more dynamic – more traits are gained during teenage years, while a few are lost during the start of adult life. As characters reach old age, a new and exclusive set of traits will fire up based on the combination of traits they had previously.
- Custom trait-icons and unique event pictures;
- Trait-specific event-chains adding more intrigue and backstage politics to the game;
- 100 + nicknames (most of them adapted from Syren's Nicknames Mod);
With 12 personality archetypes, each of them opening up to 8 different traits – this should give plenty of variety, and provide a recognizable temperament for each character. Each of these 12 personality types has their own strong and weak spots. The archetypes are based on the “the 4 humours” – four principal fluids (blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm) that were produced by the human body and, according to medieval physicians, had to be in balance to keep a person healthy. The predominance of one of these “humours” would lead to a specific personality type:
- Sanguine – impulsive, sociable
- Melancholic – introverted, cerebral
- Choleric – leader-like, passionate
- Phlegmatic – quiet, collected
As a trait, these are not supposed to give any bonus or malus, just a vague idea of the character’s inclinations. From there, new events based on these archetypes pop up, giving the player and AI specific traits.
And the reason for the mod’s title: Event-chains that basically offer interaction between the player’s character and a few others. These characters will become “friends/allies” and “foes”, and these bonds should provide more immersion and flavour. The focus is on a small number of characters, so the player feels like getting to know them. The player’s dynasty won’t be background noise any more, but play a much more important role.
