Hometowns: EK2 Addon
This is an optional but recommended add-on designed for greater integration of the Hometowns Mod with Elder Kings 2. While Hometowns somewhat works (see Disclaimers) as is with Elder Kings 2 without this addon, this mod assigns birthplaces for some starting characters which would otherwise be missing them, and compatches the EK2 character GUI to allow for Hometowns birthplaces in the character age tooltip without overwriting EK2 features (e.g. Magicka/Mana).
For now, I have only added the birthplaces for some of the most notable characters in the 2E 440 bookmark (many of which should carry still exist in 450). I have also only added birthplaces for characters whose ‘hometown’ currently exists as a title in game (e.g. no Oblivion for Velehk Sain) However in future I would like to continue adding them, providing birthplaces for as many characters as possible.
In order to function correctly you should load all three mods like so:
– Elder Kings 2
– Hometowns
– Hometowns: EK2 Addon (This)
This mod is not an official add-on of Elder Kings 2, however it is an official add-on for Hometowns. If there are any issues now or in future regarding this add-on and compatibility, please direct them to me as I am the author of both this and the original Hometowns mod.
– This mod is somewhat necessary for compatibility between Elder Kings 2, and Hometowns. It allows for GUI elements from EK2 (e.g. character magicka/mana pools, and changed modifier layout) to exist, whereas without this addon they are completely overwritten.
– Any characters created via special event (and not normally born) probably wont work, however I may look into fixing this.
– This mod is designed for use with the current newest version of Elder Kings 2 (0.13.3).
As with the original Hometowns mod:
– Birth locations are ‘lost’ on character death and will no longer display.
