Big thanks to him for making it!
The mod brings you a completely new feature: „Quests“ in form of legendary heirlooms and special traits for most of the factions in the grand campaign and AoC.
Example: Remember the big Winged Helmet the Pictish leader is wearing? Well, that one is now a special heirloom of the royal Pictish bloodline in form of a trait with special bonuses. It has three levels and you need to achieve certain requirements (winning defensive or attacking battles, gaining heroic victories, sacking, razing executing prisoners, building up a huge treasury and more....) to unlock the next level. The requirements are specified in the trait description. The new traits are unique for your faction leader, but don`t fear, once he dies the traits will not be lost forever, but your heir will inherit them and forge a legend of his own.
Those heirlooms are unique for each faction and should simulate a legendary object of great worth. The heirlooms include the Niblung Hoard (Burgundians), Godan`s Sword (Langobards), the King`s Dragonship (Danes) and many more….
The special traits should simulate the reputation the faction has and work similar to the heirlooms. For example, the Franks can have the reputation "Unbeatable", Saxons have "The Fear", the Alans "Spirit of Independence"....
Here are some pictures of how it looks in game. The number behind the trait indicates which level you have achieved so far.
Included factions so far:
All factions of the Grand Campaign and AoC, except for White Huns and desert factions.
I`m working on the remaining ones, but I can`t think of something interesting for them so far… If anybody has good suggestion for heirlooms or special traits, I`d be glad to hear them
Update 30. January: I have added Special Traits & Heirlooms to the Sicily faction in AoC. To see them and play with them you need MoonHoplite`s awesome mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=584920802
Update 3. February: As I am a huge fan of Wiid`s work, here are the Traits & Heirlooms submods for his Kingdom Under Heaven series:
Alans version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=612105936
Tanukhids version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=614657582
The First Order, which replaces the Alans will get "The First Order" and "In His Name" as traits and the sword of the archangel Michael as legendary heirloom.
The First Crusade, which replaces the Tanukhidswill get "The First Crusades" and "Pilgrims of the Lord" as traits and the sword of the archangel Gabriel as legendary heirloom.
The Traits & Heirlooms work similar to those in the main mod, which means they can get higher lvls and are inherited.
