Description:

The Eye of Atum and Other Stories – a character focused event pack for Old World.

New characters, many based on historical people, with new abilities and traits… new buildings… new luxuries… and events involving them all.

Generals:
Each nation gets a chance for a unique named General, five for each nation, many are based on historical characters. These appear from either a range, a barracks or a stable. Stables are a new improvement.
Generals often come with new traits – Bow Master, Horse Master, Sea Master, amongst others. Bow Master, Horse Master and Sea Master can be taught by anyone with that trait, to anyone else within an age range. These have a blue icon.
Other new traits include hardened (from one of my tribe mods), resolute and impulsive.

Major Characters:
Character Sellsword aka Mercenary Recruiter can be sent on missions to recruit mercenary units. Some of these also come with named generals.
Character Military Inventor can be sent on a mission to build a new war machine.
Merchant character can be sent on missions to secure a new batch of luxuries.
Playwright character can be sent on missions to add culture project in cities.
Archgallius – a pagan cult character.
Courtesans – male leaders have mission to Visit Courtesan

Minor Characters:
A small number of events introduce some minor characters.

Units:
New mercenary units include the Leba’im, the Habiru and the Itu’aean from the early period and from the Hellenistic period Tarantine Cavalry, Galatian Hoplites, Anatolian Phalanx and Thracian Peltasts.

Events:
Several standalone events, some with perhaps an overly remote chance of occurring. Most of these have follow up events. There are a bunch that introduce new named characters.
Several events introduced titles such as Royal Spear Carrier or nicknames such as The Griffin. Title holders become a Court Official that cannot become governor or general. But giving the title gives Legitimacy to the ruler.

Another new trait is Mental Deficiency. This can come from training accidents and tutoring. It can trigger events if the heir carries this trait.

Some characters can be Eunuchs. No mechanism though to produce your own….

Portraits:
All named characters have a unique portrait. The Merchant character has a unique portrait for each nation.

Chickens:
There may be mention of chickens
