The Old West: An Americanist Heresy
I AM NOT EXPERIENCED WITH MODDING, AND THIS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, AND ISN’T SHOWING UP IN GAME. IF SOMEONE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE HAS ADVICE, FEEL FREE TO COMMENT. OTHERWISE, ASSUME THE MOD IS BROKEN. SORRY
Like many of you, one of the first characters that we make and play are just self-inserts. However, as someone who as spent large portions of their life in Oklahoma and Texas, these regions are kinda bland. The Americanists are super interesting, however, there is no reason that people in Oklahoma, Texas, and (maybe) Florida would revere the Founder heroes of the East Coast, especially as there are pantheons of heroes for the various regions. This mod adds in specific heresies for these regions, as well as providing some added flavor to the regions.
Features:
Flavor:
New empire decision, allowing the player to create the New West
New Trade Route based off of one of the cattle drive trails
New mercenary group: The Texas Rangers
Western Americanists:
New heresy for Americanists (Western), led by the Director of the US Marshal Service, and able to crusade
New Holy Order for the Western faith
New playable character, Frank Eaton the Count of Ponca
New Bloodline (Blood of Pistol Pete) and new artifact (Pete’s Pistol) for Frank Eaton
Able to go on a pilgrimage
Texan Americanists:
New heresy, set as a pentarchy, centered around Old Star (which really corresponds to the heart of the former Texas Republic
When I can figure out how to do it, I will be changing several of the landed characters in Texas to this new heresy (Airmen, maybe First Cavalry, and maybe Brazos)
Eventually, I might add in a pilgrimage event chain
Floridian Americanists:
When I get the drive and time to work on this, I am going to be making a new heresy for Florida, though this is a bit of pie in the sky thing, as I would just be making Florida Man and Disney references
I am also planning on changing the Waltney dynasty members to this heresy
Future ideas:
I am trying to figure out society modding, because I can’t figure out how to update the Society of the Cinccinnati to allow the new heresies, but I have basically given up at this point. The ideas I had was a martial society based around storm chasing, Lion’s Club diplomatic society, and I had an idea for a stewardship society based off of Big 12 tourism.
I will also be adding in more flavor events and decisions:
Western has the County Fair
Texan will have Remember the Alamo
Rodeos are something planned
I am thinking about creating new Banners for the High Kingdom of Texas, creatable only after election
Once I have several characters created, I will make a custom bookmark for easy access
