the Crimson Court: New Vision

I’m a big fan of Darkest Dungeon and was really excited when it first DLC was came out back in 2017. But soon my excitement changed with a bit frustration. During playing Crimson Court (CC) I always had that weird feeling, that DLC is lack of something.
Don’t get me wrong – I like most features of this mod, but these predefined dungeons are annoying and IMO they don’t really match word "replayable" (if you like to do more new campaigns in future with using CC).

My idea wasn’t to bring big changes in mechanics and stuff that we are all used to in original CC (mobs, trinkets, infestation’s waves, blood rules, vampire desease, fanatic, etc.)
Key feature was that all CC-maps became RNG-generated (not only some), and put some small fixes in CC – around this idea.

– any CC boss’s map is now random generated! (no more predefined maps, but with only exception, that first CC-map will be the same – original and predefined).
– any CC boss’s random map will be LONG-type (also please notice that now you can’t regroup, this quest is working same way as in any classic boss-fight location: "1 map – 1 try").
– CC-area is now also allow you to do classic quests "explore" and "cleanse" (not only "kill boss" and "gather blood"), with dungeon’s length short/medium/long.
– with new random-changes there is no place for "Bloodlight" in CC-locations, so it is removed and replaced with classic burning light. So you need to bring torches or not, if you are prefer to do torchless runs. Also please notice that torches no longer carry the +3 ACC buff, but negative buffs from "Bloodlight" have also been disabled (+Stress and -Bleed Resist).
– with new random-changes there is no place for original rule of CC-hallway stress ("+1stress" during walking), so it is removed and replaced to classic rules of hallway stress.
– now you can farm CC-trinkets during your campaign much faster (it will be prize for some events), but don’t expect that it will be too easy get them 😉
– for every none-boss long champion CC-quests prize will be guaranteed any CC-trinket which is still not obtained (same as it works for Ancestral trinkets in core locations).
– quest with "Garden Guardian" is removed in this mod, but you are still will be able to meet "Garden Guardian" in any CC-quest, but only with "some special action" (try to find out which one action).
– Baron and Viscount now drop 2 CC-trinkets instead of 1.
– there are a few CC-curios which will bring special events.
– Crocodile now is a wandering mini-boss, but only inside CC-location (chances to meet him: 3% – apprentice; 7% – veteran; 10% – champion).
– original Fanatic is still untouched and you are still can meet him somethere in core locations, but exclusively for CC-location added new weaker version of Fanatic ("Fanatic’s Doppelganger"). He appears with a certain chances. This version isn’t so hardcore as original, but still can bring some troubles. Your win will be rewarded with good loot.
– now in hamlet first СС-event ("intro") won’t be repeating continuosly anymore, now it will appear once (you get notice and it will open CC-location on 3-rd weak), and right after all next weaks you will be able to get game’s common events.

Mod is still tuning up, especially bosses maps (as it new feature).
So feedback/thoughts/opinions will be appreciated.

It is pity, but this mod won’t be compatibile with any mod which modify Crimson Court plot-quests settings. But If CC-mods bring only trinkets, district’s building then all should work well.

If you decided to uninstall mod, you need to start new quest in some classic area (Warrens/Weald/Cove/Ruins). During being there (until returning to the estate), you need quit to main menu and uncheck the mod in mod’s list. Then you can return to your save, finish map and then return to Hamlet.

This mod created with inspiration from playing other CC-mod "Crimson Court Virulent Overhaul".
Thanks to CC-VO author (Seignar) for letting me to use a few of his ideas/files inside my mod.
