[MOD] Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded - Released

[Dayvit78]

Just came across this from OneProudBavarians youtube video. It's way beyond expectations. I've played with it for 2 days and haven't come across any bugs yet. Thank you!

You said that there will be an asset list coming soon. Do you know when? Is it going to be on google sheets? In other words, is there going to be a way to visualize what areas have assets and what areas are still lacking?

One last question, there's no option for "no clothes," is there? Also sometimes I have the option for "no leggings" but sometimes there isn't. Do you know what determines whether the "no" is available or not on each category?

 

[vandevere]

Just downloaded this. So, of course, I made Diplo Range "Unrestricted". I'm very interested in how all the different ethnicities move across the map...

Hi, quick question on future plans for the mod. First, I'll say how I love the chronology of the assets as cultures transition from the Early Middle Ages to the High Middle Ages. Gives the player the feeling that the world is evolving over time, which was sorely lacking in vanilla Ck3.

Are there future assets planned to give the transition to the Late Middle Ages a similar level of evolutionary flavor? Would be great to see some bascinets, sallets, armets and plate armor on later characters.

Yes. In the future, gotta see what else PDX does with the game but it is planned!

Nothing 100% but i do want to say that yes, eventually with time we wish to flesh out all era's of the game with content for a large majority of the map!

Any chance for ermine robes? Or even ermine Coronation Robes?

Appears the central african cultures may still have an issue with pearl necklaces with the EPE+CFP compatch. Also have the load order set correctly and re-subscribed to the mods to make sure they re downloaded.

There must be some type of error on your end, it is fixed on ours. Please follow correct bug reporting procedure on our mod page or discord otherwise we can't investigate.

-Ermine Cloaks should spawn with the Ermine Cloaks innovation

About those Ermine Cloaks, if you get the Ermine Cloaks Innovation Early, do you get the Ermine Cloaks early? Or do you still need to wait for a specific year?

It's tied to the innovation

 

[vandevere]

It's tied to the innovation

So if you have the Innovation, the cloaks should turn up in the Barbershop?

Technically i believe everything is available in the barbershop regardless, that's more so for natural spawning.

As we feel the barbershop is essential a dress-up area, so the players can do as they feel in all fairness.

Whereas the natural spawning world is the more historical reality.

So, where, exactly, would the Ermine Cloaks be found? Do they appear naturally? Or in the Barbershop? I looked for them, but couldn't find them

With both EPE and the CFP comp patch, once you have the innovation, they'll appear naturally throughout the world, and there should be a cloaks category in the barbershop.

 

[Federalist girl]

I was poking around the files for fun, and I noticed the following in the special headgear section: "## Restored Roman Empire ##
Roman_imperial"

Currently a placeholder right now -- but can I ask what the plan is for the Roman imperial headgear?

edit: Or is that just a placeholder for the EPE/CFP compatch?

Ill use the crown for my Byzantines early age too, as the vanilla giant crown is enlarged to a comical level.
The komnenian crown from CFP is awesome but thats later in time.

Great work and cant wait
