Description
This mods adds a new faction: the old ones, a tribal analogue of the empire. You can earn titles and new rewards, permits, and more by giving the old ones blood, corpses, and new resources like obsidian and dreamthorn berries.



The old ones are an ancient tribe of devout religious fanatics. Worshiping old, dark gods, they take hallucinogenic dreamthorn berries, consume the flesh of their enemies, and offer blood sacrifices to the old gods. They abhor the Empire and advanced technology, worshipping instead the old, brutal gods of nature.

This mod also introduces three new resources and mechanics: the hallucinogenic dreamthorn berry; the precious resource obsidian; and the psy-enhancing shadowsilk, harvested from shadow worms.







The old ones offer a unique set of permits, which offer more flexibility than the Empire:



So enjoy hurling tornados, teleporting in skilled warriors, and opening portals to stars when the Empire come knocking.





Save-game compatible if you use Vanilla Expanded Framework. Otherwise the new faction won't get any settlements.

If the mod is popular/gets some donations, I'll add some more content. I'd like to add more uses for obsidian, add some more creepy eldritch stuff, and probably some more quests too.

Hope you enjoy! You might like my other mods, available here, such as:

Any idea why the permit screen would be coming up with a blank page? Would it be because the Empire is deactivated?

how would i make it so that this faction is not permanently hostile to the vanilla expanded wild men faction?

Same question as M. Rottenson. You probably should list the answer in your FAQ given that many of us use CE. I'm not always doing Playthrough with it, but it happens at regular intervals.

The only thing holding me back from getting this is the textures being a bit un-vanilla style, but otherwise I love black magic and sacrifice style mods a lot!

Looks like a great mod, just was I looking for, but you're gonna hate me for this..

Is it CE compatible? 🥲

Ive had a few ideas with how they could look, if you ever wanted some help with it, as well as maybe a few other items that could added.

One idea that could work was a golden silk pupae, which would make golden silk that would be a replacement for gold when it came to making higher tier pelt throne. The gold silk can also be used for crafting that can make beautiful clothing.

I guess a problem with it would be that it be a bit RNG to get these things, but it could be fixed by calling in a special blood caravan that sells the pupae needed with the comms console so long as you have someone with a required title.

Oh, and another thing, is it possible to make the deserters and the old god factions work when both are enabled? I think the problem with them is that their both considered "TribalEmpire" and thus both of their quests and factions seem to conflict, making them bug out and not work properly together.

Thanks for the feedback y'all.

@KUMO yeah that's a nice idea, I'll work on that.

@Lira and @Power Monkey Hmm that's weird. Will try to fix asap.

@ElTwoFour and @Deimos kai Aischylos Thanks :')

Oh this looks so interesting!

Heya, big fan of the mod, im wondering if you would ever think of making higher tier pelt thrones similar for higher ranks, I think it would be really coold and Id love to have a giant pelt throne full of shadowsilk and the like.

@El: You asked for a heads-up if we had quest people not showing up. I ran into that last night, when the bestowers for a Blood Screamer ceremony never arrived after accepting the quest. Wish I could provide more information, but I figured it was just the result of a mod incompatibility on my end and didn't think to preserve the logs. All I can say is that it does still happen.

That said, this mod is great and enables a really interesting tribal play-style, especially in something like a Medieval Overhaul context. Great work on this one :)
