m00nl1ght's Essentials: Medieval World [1.5]

This is a mod list template for a pure medieval world that stays close in spirit to vanilla RimWorld. Build on top of this template by adding your favourite QoL mods, etc.

The core of this mod list is the World Tech Level mod, which will filter out all game content above the medieval tech level. On the world creation page, make sure to set the tech level slider to Medieval (should automatically happen if you pick a scenario from Medieval Overhaul)

If you do not have the Royalty DLC or do not want to use it, you can safely remove the mods that require it, e.g. "Medieval Fantasy Themed Relic Quests".

Important load order rules:
- Make sure "Vanilla Textures Expanded" is loaded before all medieval content mods.

Or alternatively, exact load order via modlist XML for importing:

    Vanilla Factions Expanded - Empire

    See change notes. One thing I always wanted to do but never could bring myself to do is overhaul the Empire faction in the Royalty DLC. For such a mysterious, powerful entity in the political sphere of RimWorld, there is surprisingly little content around them. When I wanted to m

    Medieval Fantasy Themed Relic Quests

    I've always thought that the relic quests from ideology and the whole idea of tracking down a powerful relic to worship are very suited to a medieval/fantasy playthrough.

    Possessed Weapons

    In my previous mod Medieval Fantasy Themed Quest Rewards, I changed the persona weapons to be "possessed" weapons with the idea being that the weapons are possessed by ancient spirits rather than having AI personas.
