Im not even a part of the team but some of these are obvious.
Okay so I'm back, with another question, this time it's about sex and marriage..
So, will there be special events for marriage, since the rituals each culture are quite different from eachother.
Example:
- The Wildhammer dwarves, only have one holiday each year, where they celebrate everyone's marriage.
- Nightelves do not ''marry'' though they do have companions for life (though Tyrande and Malfurion did get married at the end of the book Stormrage)
Both of these would just require removing the standard "you got married! do you want cash or prestige?" event window and for wildhammer add a once a year event where all betrothals become marriages and they all get the celebration flag (like normal "you are invited to a feast" flag).
And the sex part.. (everyone loves this part, don't they?)
Since interracial breeding is a thing in Warcraft will that be a thing in this mod?
Example:
- Orc and Draenei
- Mak'nathal Ogres
- Half elves
- Half Human
Well.
The half draenei-half orcs look like orcs in 7/10 cases, one was an actual halfbreed as a blue orc with forehead ripples but thats a lot of work for something that might never happen (but possible, would require changing orc skin tone and replacing normal forehead dds with a draenei type forehead).
Mok'Nathal are just beige orcs most of the time, they are said to be larger but that doesnt show on the image so its fine to use recolored orcs.
Half elves would use elven portraits as they look like humans with pointy ears anyway so elven portrait encapsule both races.
Or just use main human but replace the ears with elven ears.
Half human-half orcs are quite hard, that would either be a green human with tusks or a beige orc with smoother features.
In the second case it can use the same image as the Mok'Nathal.
So my ending questions are:
Will there be different kinds of marriage rituals that vary from culture to culture?
Will half-breeds be thing?
Will they be visual?
Will some of them be frowned upon?
Halfbreeds will probably be a later thing visiually but could be used sooner with placeholder portraits (they dont have to be customizable since the chance of two existing at once is quite low).
It was discussed earlier about each race getting a trait (which would enable the whole "if mother has race1_trait and father has race2_trait or mother has race2_trait and father race1_trait then child will have halfbreed12_trait and culture_halfbreed12"
Instead of just if "father has race1 and mother has race1 then child has race1"
Which basically is the standard inheritance of traits.)
Then e.g orcs would get -10 general opinion and +15 same trait opinion so all orcs like orcs but non-orcs dont like orcs.
While halfbreeds would like halfbreeds and none would like them.
Will there be possible to challenge your liege (if orc) to a Mak'gora for leadership?
Also a standard trigger, like the nomad one where you challenge your liege, just renamed.
