Fantasy Medieval RimWorld
Mods for a fantasy medieval RimWorld experience!
>>>WARNING<<<
These mods are meant to be used with new games! This is an overhaul/total conversion and won't play nicely with existing saves.
---
Tips:
1: Use World Tech Level to restrict technology to medieval. This will be an option available when you create a new game.
2: Use a Tribal start to prevent access to unwanted technologies. If you don't like having 5 pawns with tribal start, just edit it with the scenario editor.
3: Use Worldbuilder to force Alpha Gene's civil and pirate xenohuman factions to spawn (they're spacer tech by default):
Open the world map -> click any tile -> click the 'World' button on the left side -> click 'Manage Factions' -> click the yellow + sign -> add your desired factions.
Then, restrict their technology to medieval (important!):
Open the world map -> click any tile -> click the 'World' button on the left side -> click 'Manage Factions' -> select xenohuman faction (or other) -> click edit population -> set defined tech level to medieval.
Xenohuman factions have a 60% chance to spawn custom xenotypes created in Biotech's xenotype editor, so you can create orcs, goblins, elves, etc., and have them spawn in these factions. Very cool, very fun. Note that your custom xenotypes will only spawn if they were saved with your currently active mod list - if they're older, just load them in the xenotype editor and re-save them and they should spawn normally within the xeno factions.
You can quickly access the xenotype editor in-game with Xenotype Spawn Control:
Press Escape -> click Options -> click Mod Options -> click Xenotype Spawn Control -> click Editor.
4: Technically, Worldbuilder can modify the xenotypes of ANY faction, so you can go wild with it by either adding predefined customs or your own random customs. Fill your world with abominations and then go slay or recruit them!
5: Don't know how to become a mage? Me either at first. A RimWorld of Magic is quite in-depth, but if you want to bypass the grind, here's what you need to do:
Pawns can only become mage/might classes if they have the 'Magically Gifted' or 'Physically Adept' traits. Once they have these traits, they can read certain books to unlock a class. If you want to have a mage/might pawn right off the bat, Character Editor is the way to go.
Use Character Editor to add either the 'Magically Gifted' or 'Physically Adept' trait to your pawn. Then, use it to modify their inventory to add your desired skill book (then drop it and read it).
