Those sound really much better. Sometimes I really regret paying that much for all those English courses .

I wanted to add the Blood of Alaric trait when I made the Visigothic kings... I'll write something down this week.

Sure, write something up and I'll get it added with the rest.

Your English in general is very good, really, and even native speakers can benefit from a proofreader/editor. Native speakers are just less prone to misuse of prepositions and idioms, among other things. I know I'm prone to run-on sentences.

I had to redo the Widukinding bloodline and d_saxony history to make the dates match up. One non-existent wife/mother I had to comment out, as I had no idea who she was supposed to be.

Now that I think of it... who should have the Blood of Alaric trait? The Balthings? We've modeled them as family, following the real famous list of Gothic kings, even though all the kings after Amalaric were not descendants of him or Alaric or of any other Balthing that we know of. Two, if not more, were actually Ostrogoths, and the rest were Visigothic nobles chosen by the newly-formed elective monarchy that was plagued by what today is called "morbus gothicus".

So, I guess we could give our Balthings the Blood of Alaric, since I think I "believed" the claims made by Theodoric I (the Gothic king who died at the Catalaunian Plains), who said he was the bastard son of Alaric, because it was "widely known" that Alaric had had no children. That, or we make it the Blood of Ataulf or the Blood of Baltha. But I guess Alaric is cool.

I think it's OK for it to be named after Alaric, a lot of our bloodlines are already of dubious veracity, you know Blood of Almaqah, or descend from outlying cadet branches distant from the main one (Ptolemies).

Blood of Caesarion would be a cool one (it's in the list, I know,) assuming he found a different fate in this line of history.

 

[das]

Shouldn't Leo Isauros have his own bloodline, considering that it is apparently sacred to the Luwians?

 

[richvh]

Your children after being recognized as either Arinniti's Consort or Arinniti in Flesh will become Scions of Arinniti (acts like a religion-linked blood trait.)

 

[Piko]

So is this compatible with 0.6k or what?

I suggest the Alcmaeonid bloodline, to give to the guy in charge of Athens (id is 7). It's the family of Cleisthenes, the founder of Athenian democracy, and Pericles, the progenitor of Athens' Golden Age. I know it's bit far fetched that they would still be in power, but it's possible and it would be great for RP'ing.

Hmmm, I don't see the Alcmeonids being for democracy... at least, not the traditional Alcmeonids. The side-branches that gave Athens Clisthenes or Pericles, maybe. Far-fetched, yes, but that may very well be the motto of this mod.

Other illustrious Athenians such as Alkibiades (who also was an Alcmaenoid, I think), Xenophon, Miltiades (of the Philiaid family) and Themistokles may also be fun to play!

 

[Ufnal]

Are there going to be some bloodlines in India and generally in the Far East?

 

[richvh]

There might be some, but it's a low priority. Adding new bloodlines using our current mechanic is a pain, and computationally expensive.

 

[Ufnal]

Ok, thanks. I just found it weird that in the British Isles everybody has bloodlines, while in India there's not even a bloodline of Ashoka or something.
