ULTIMATE Elder Kings LITE
ULTIMATE Elder Kings (aka UEK) is a hardcore expansion for the Elder Kings 2 mod. It combines numerous fixes, balance changes, new mechanics, and visual improvements to the core mod.
Brief summary of changes:
1. Improved role-playing system
Every personality trait has been reimagined, with almost every one now having an unique special solution, interaction, or mini-mechanic. One new personality trait. New branches have been added to the Scholarship, Stewardship, and Diplomacy skill trees. Completing all skill trees for a single lifestyle (except Magic and Traveler) can award a powerful trait.
2. Realistic epidemics
Long-lived characters with massive health bonuses are no longer 100% immune to diseases. Furthermore, diseases themselves spread several times more rapidly, affecting vast areas.
3. Complex balance
Fewer opinion bonuses, more penalties. Lower taxes, longer construction times. More expensive army maintenance, slower recovery, greater stress penalties, etc.
4. Rebalancing and rethinking events
There are no more situations where you already know which answer option you will choose based on the event name only.
5. Unique mini-mechanics:
-Impotence system for adulthood/old characters
-System of connections with mercenaries
-Former conqueror trait
-Born in Red trait for children of Cyrodiil/Tamriel emperors
6. Integrated and rebalanced mechanics from other mods:
-AGOT’s knighthood
-Tourament Champion
-Companion Trait
-Hobby system from GPT Flavor Pack
-Battle Events
-To live and to learn mechanic replaces Repurpose Knowledge decision
-Trait for Small Council Members from Councillor’s experience
7. New small decisions, such as purchasing mana potions with gold or the ability to quit drinking for alcoholics
8. Repeated murders or betrayals now carry increasing negative consequences
9. Super-aggressive, vindictive AI
10. AI, especially rulers, have more random traits. All children have more random physical traits at birth.
