StartPos AddOn for the Unofficial Attila Community Patch
This mod fixes a variety of issues found in the Vanilla startpos.esf file, mostly related to family trees. Because there can only be one startpos.esf file present in any game all individual fixes on the Workshop related to this file are incompatible with one another. This mod is a community effort to compile all these fixes into a single file.
Currently there are 4 mods included in the StartPos AddOn but this number will hopefully increase as more people join the project.
While it is designed to be used with the Unofficial Attila Community Patch it is not required and can be used on its own.
- Added Aksum and Himyar Civil War Fix by Tadgu (Link to their Workshop)
- Added Arian Visigoths by DeliciousCrackers (Link to their Workshop)
These fixes all had to be made in the "startpos.esf" file of which there can only be one present in any game. Every two mods that change this file are incompatible with one another. This means that if this mod were added to the Community Patch, it would’ve suddenly become incompatible with a lot of the great overhauls out there on the Workshop, which a lot of users wouldn’t have wanted. That’s why I decided to release it separately.
If you don’t use any mods that change the "startpos.esf" file and just want these issues fixed you can safely subscribe to this mod!
Family Tree Fixes:
- ERE Invisible Daughter fix by 3dahs (Link to their Workshop)
(Arria Flaccilla correctly assigned to "Other Patricians" instead of making her a bastard daughter of Flavius Arcadius) - Gautrek Family Tree Fix by Snowieken (Link to their Workshop)
General StartPos Fixes
- Aksum and Himyar Civil War Fix by Tadgu (Link to their Workshop)
- Arian Visigoths by DeliciousCrackers (Link to their Workshop)
All fixes are incorporated with permission from the original authors.
- Aksum and Himyar can now have civil wars (broken in Vanilla)
- Eastern Roman Empire family tree: Arria Flaccilla (daughter of Eutropius in Vanilla) correctly assigned to the "Other Patricians" political faction preventing her from marrying your characters and making them disappear.
- Geats family tree: Gautrek no longer appears in the "Other Nobles" tab
- Geats family tree: Gautrek’s deceased wife Alfhildr is now visible in the family tree
- Visigoths are now Arian Christians as they historically were
This mod is not compatible with mods that change the "startpos.esf" file which includes all major overhauls, mods that add new factions and mods that change the number of turns per year.
This mod is not save game compatible and requires a new campaign to be started!
While this mod is designed to be used in conjunction with the Unofficial Attila Community Patch it’s not required and can be used on its own.
