Vanilla Storytellers Expanded - Maynard Medieval

1.0 (13/04/2021): Release

Vanilla Storytellers Expanded is a brand new mod series featuring standalone storytellers, bringing new, unique mechanics to the game.

"Maynard Medieval creates a story of increasing curve of challenge and tension. He strongly believes in valor, honor and sacrifice, and will make sure you regain your strength before tackling a next big threat. Most factions and all research will be limited to the medieval and pre-medieval eras."

Maynard Medieval comes with the following traits:

Technology limited to Medieval Upon world generation, this storyteller will prevent factions past medieval from spawning.

Scales with Wealth This storyteller scales with a colony wealth being a deciding factor - the higher the wealth, the more difficult raids and bad events will happen.

Balanced Difficulty This storyteller has balanced difficulty. It will not favour good nor bad events, and any events that happen are tailored to your colony based on it’s wealth, past events, amount of colonists and other factors.

Q: How do I use this storyteller? A: In order to benefit from the world locked to medieval era, start a new save with this storyteller. Do not change the storyteller to any other one, as it will re-enable post-medieval factions.

Q: Can I change to this storyteller mid-save? A: Absolutely, however it won't apply the Medieval era effect - this is only applied on creating a new save. It will however stop you from researching industrial and spacer era technologies.

Q: Does it work with Combat Extended? A: It’s a storyteller. It should do.

Q: Will you keep updating the mod with new content? A: This is a singular storyteller mod. Development work on it has been finished.

Q: Is it compatible with X mod? A: It is compatible with majority, if not all, mods. One big incompatibility is Faction Control. Don’t use this mod and faction control together.

Q: Can I play this mod alongside Vanilla Factions Expanded - Medieval? How is this storyteller different? A: Yes. I have created this storyteller in case someone doesn’t want the whole medieval mod but still wants to limit their technology in their game.

Q: How do I research techs past locked tech level? A: You need to research every available technology first. Then, when you obtain techproof subpersona core, you can use it to research a new, random, more modern tech.

Q: Empire faction spawned anyway! How come? A: The DLC faction is hardcoded to spawn. Disable the DLC if you don’t want it.
