I have been working on a new race, the Avestians they are a race of humans who have dragon blood in their veins. This blood is quite weak and has been growing weaker since the titans came and almost wiped them out. Their blood does give them some abilities that other races can't get like the ability to breath fire.

The blood ability gives them a 25% resistance to magic and also gives them long life. The long life is shown as an extra trait available to all Avestian troops. The real power of their blood comes out as your sovereign and other henchmen level up, because they get unique traits. These new traits give abilities, boost the stats and also giving them access to unique buildings and units. The Unique buildings depend on your choices of traits (for example going down the Dragon Knowledge Path gives you access to magical things while going down the Dragon Kind Path will give you access to more combat based buildings.

The Kingdom of Avesta gets the ability of being able to hire henchmen from the word go and they get these henchmen cheaper. The down side of them is that it is more expensive for them to get normal champions.

 

Please tell me what you think of the race and what kind of abilities and unique buildings you would like to see.

Known Bugs:

  • Henchmen doesn't appear

Given that:

1. I find standard henchmen better than Champions (three free abilities at level 1, stat boosts from city of origin, starting equipment)

2. You have extra traits.

3. You have extra buildings for the city of origin.

4. You intend to make the henchmen cheaper.

5. You have them available from the get go.

I will make a guess:

If I were to play your mod, I would use henchmen a whole lot :-)

I am sorry all who were interested in this mod but I have had to abandon it. I will not have the time to fix (due to Uni and work) many of the bugs in it. If any experienced modder would like to take what i have done and make it work for their mod they are welcome to (If you do I would like to have credit for the idea).

I will be working on a new race mod in the coming days, one that is a lot less ambitious. This is all assuming I get the time to do so

I would suggest going smaller to learn what the game can do. Since we already have a faction creator coming, you could work on new faction traits and blood to be used in custom faction creation. Making a new race is very advanced work IMHO and something I generally leave to someone that has a ton of time on their hands like Hf.
