This mod is the best econversion for Ek2! My one and only wish would be to unlock Tech Era, without it it's hard to play for longer playthroughs.

For those experiencing problems with artifact graphics not showing up, keep two things in mind, 1, that is typically caused by having too many script heavy mods enabled, maybe try lightening up your load order, and 2, as silly as it sounds, also keep in mind that alot of these new weapon artifacts are quite thin and or blend with their background, so they might take more than just a glance to actually see.

@Amandyle, I've noticed this in AGOT as well, so it might just be something with B.B

@Hbxn: Sorry, I see now I worded my comment poorly. I do not mean development as in content (you guys have done great pretty much everywhere there), I mean more as in the development level of individual counties. Only a fraction have a county development level higher than zero, almost all in Alinor. If this is intended or just something that has not been done yet, then no worries, I was just wondering if it was unintended or a bug on my end.

Would note that at least for me, the Better Barbershop mod removes all artefact graphics. Unique equipment still shows up when worn by characters but the actual inventory images for them don't seem to be loading.

Though this might just be a me issue since no one else seems to have reported it.

Very good mod, two questions/problems though.
As a vampire, i can't pursue the mindweaver perk tree, is that normal ?
There is no Creature accolade ?

@Tertulian, I'd reccomend doing a legendary adventure or, just becoming an adventurer, wonder how viable it would be to found all the holds of Skyrim, then conquer eastmarch or something, and become High King

Hey thanks for the very cool mod I was hoping someone would make a merethic version. For the Sea giants I cant recruit more than one regiment. Sorry if this has been reported already

Hey, great mod. I was wondering if there were any plans to make it so that the game can naturally progress into the current era of EK? I basically "won" my playthrough in about 200 years, and I'm kinda sitting around because the innovations of the first era remain locked.

I love the godlike jawlines all Atmorans possess, it's epic, True Nords

@mjdezell, yeah that's lore accurate, just not sure if it's suppose to reinforce, and increase as generations go on, or fade like the B.O.N trait from LOTR.

I believe Atmorans having Elven lifespans is canonical, it's recorded that Nords lived as long as Mer before Orkey/Alduin reduced their lifespans.

This mod is so fire! Played as a Nord Dragonborn adventurer, conquered the reach and had a blast.

I just think, like with anything, it needs some polish. A falmer king reconquered alot of Skyrim, and for some reason his realm became a vampiric type government. And like how the Dwemer are rocking bows and daggers when hunting. Also it seems like the lifespan goes up for Atmorans, Not sure if that's intended or not.

None of this makes the mod bad and I really like the vibe, it's alot more magical than later date Tamriel.

@jetwge ❤️if there's any issues with the submod, please don't hestitate to ask

@critter Hi there,

thank you for taking the time to write your feedback.

You are indeed correct 😄, Resdayn is the proper name for Morrowind during this time period. No one holds the Morrowind title at the start of our Merethic gamestart, but once a Chimeri ruler acquires the Morrowind High Kingdom title, the name will automatically change to Resdayn. The only time it would appear as "Morrowind" is if it is controlled by most of the modern Tamrielic human races, or when previewing the title before actually gaining it.

Most landed titles have already been modified by the Elder Kings 2 developers to allow names to change based on the ruler’s culture. They worked meticulously to ensure each title has the appropriate name, and their work can be seen in both this Submod and the Base game.

If there are other localizations texts that might still contain non period-accurate names then we apologise. We would try our best to edit them for the next submod update.🙏

I may be wrong, but shouldn't the period-accurate name for Morrowind during this time be Resdayn? iirc Morrowind is the Imperial/Nord name for it that was widely used after the Empire became important. I'm sure the team is still working on ironing things out, and I've noticed other small things (like faiths that shouldn't or wouldn't exist, cultures still existing) that I'm sure aren't very high on the priority list, but it would be cool to see that addressed (the empire title for example could also change name based on if it was created by a chimeri culture, vs a nedic or atmoran culture)

Super cool seeing so much effort put into Q&A

Again thank you very much for everyone's support. I’m also sorry that I didn’t get to respond to all your comments or reply in time.

I really appreciate all the reports, feedbacks, and inputs you’ve all given. Please don’t hesitate to share more or bring anything else to my attention.

I’ll do my best to fix everything for the next update 🙏

@undercover.jewishman Hi there, unfortunately you still can't play as dragon priests at the moment.

But there may be a plan in the far future to create some sort of new playable dragon priesthood government system in order to make Miraak & Vahlok playable in another Merethic bookmark year.

@Predatitor41 Hi there. There is no event that makes the Dwemeri dissapear atm.

But there is a hidden decision that could make every one dissapear and end the game altogether.

@Rocky the Rock I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. 🙏

Thank you for letting me know the issue with the Lamae bloodline, and apologies for the issue. I’ll work on a fix as soon as possible.

@jetwge You can unlock the mindweaver perk by either joining the Oio-Serache, Whet-Fang, or Diodata Vampire Clan. You can join them by using the interaction menu to visit the Vampire Coven leaders.

I sincerely apologise for not including this in the tooltip. Will be sure to add this on the next update 🙏

@Ziege In this mod, Harald Hairy-Breeks, Hans the Fox, and Pelinal can be whoever you want them to be. We added them as a light reference to the final paragraph of "Before the Ages of Man" by Aicantar of Shimmerene.

Honestly, we mostly included them just for fun.😄

@Black Tarram Hi there, thanks for pointing this out.

We did indeed create the Volkihar vampire coven title and bloodline trait, but they’re currently unused. We had planned to add a decision that would let any Nordic ruler start the clan, but we never got the chance to implement it. That’s why you can still find the Volkihar bloodline trait in the files.

@STEEEZ Hi there. Unfortunately, I’ve deliberately made it so that it’s almost impossible to beat or stop them.

The only way to win is to surrender and then start the Dragon War decision, which should become available as soon as you become their vassal.

AI rulers will automatically trigger it about 100 years after the game starts.

@Aethelfrith Hi there. Every member of the Companions name is taken from the in-game Songs of the Return book, the plaques in Windhelm, or Michael Kirkbride’s out-of-game writing called "The Five Hundred Mighty Companions or Thereabouts of Ysgramor the Returned". So you can thank them for that.

@Basilisk Hi there! Thank you for the kind words and we're glad that you enjoyed it.

We're totally fine with anyone translating the localization into any language, as long as they’ve got the time and energy for it.

@WayTooTurtley Thank you for the kind words. We have a list of contributors to thank for them.

@serking Hi there, unfortunately i don't speak Russian. But if there's anyone willing to translate the mod into Russian or any other language in general i'm all open for it.

@Ea-Nasir Hi there, thank you for bringing this to my attention. So far, the only counties that were mainly focused on during the Merethic era are the Dwemer, Ayleid, and Aldmeri-ruled territories. If there are places you feel should have higher development, please feel free to let us know.

And if you have any other feedback or run into any bugs, don’t hesitate to tell us 🙏

@Jllusion To become a vampire coven or werewolf pack using a custom character, unfortunately the only current method is to create your own character and use the “Sack Coven” or “Werewolf Pack” cassus belli to claim the coven or pack you want.

Sorry for the inconvinience, i'll try to work on it.

@Jllusion Hi there, unfortunately as of now there is no way to become higher tiered version of the vampire or werewolf without joining an established bloodline.

You can join the bloodline either by using the interaction menu to visit them and request it. Or by using the Sack Vampire Coven / WW Pack cassus beli.

After you won you get to decide what happens to the coven, including taking your place as the leader and inherit the Vampire Lord / WW Lord status of the Coven/Pack

@highest_man Hi there, this mod don't really make any changes to succession laws except for the new Vampire & Werewolf Governments.

If you want to mod them yourself you can go and head to ek2_sotr\common\laws\sotr_title_succession_laws.txt

@Mikis Hi. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any plans to add Saint Alessia as a character in this mod, since the historical time gap would be too large for me to handle.

Not sure if this helps, but you can still create your own custom character and roleplay as her to start your own rebellion. 😄

There may be plans in the distant future to add another bookmark year featuring Miraak and Vahlok the Jailor.

@Hyena-Princess Hi there, I think Outlander7 has pretty much answered your question, but I’d also recommend another mod called “Elder Kings 2 – No Beastfolk Limiters.” It’s been confirmed to be somewhat compatible with this mod, and it allows any race to marry any beastfolk.

@Loodster Hi there. Unfortunately, I don’t have plans to do that anytime soon, but a few other modders have contacted me saying they’re interested in adding some of this mod’s features into base EK2 through their mods. Maybe they’ll include that one as well.

@Sir Nilbog Yes, it does work with landless play. There is also one bookmark that requires the landless adventurer dlc.

@jmbc_15 Thank you for the report, and sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll look into the marriage trigger and try to ensure this won't happen again 🙏

@AlexSteelax Hi there, thank you very much for the feedback. This submod is getting a big nerf in the next update for sure. Please don't hestitate to report other issues and report it again if it's still the case.

@お兄ちゃん Hi there, thank you very much for the feedbacks.

I actually deliberately made the Dragon Invasion to be almost impossible to defeat, because i heard that lore-wise they’re meant to dominate Skyrim during the Merethic Era.

The way to overcome them is by starting the Dragon War decision, which should appear in the decision menu as soon as you surrender and become one of their vassal. If the player doesn’t trigger it, one of the AI rulers will trigger the Dragon War after around 100 years of gameplay.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I’ll try to add more decisions and events when I have the time.

@FarHawk Thanks for the report, and sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll look into this right away.

@Stianosius Hi there, thank you for bringing this up. I'll work on it right away and If there's any other bugs please don't hestitate 🙏

@Lexcross Hi, I would suggest checking your mod structure in the Paradox launcher, reinstalling both EK2 and EK2 SOTR, and clearing all files inside
Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\shadercache.

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

@cat frog Hi there, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I just want to make sure I understood correctly.. Were you referring to the Innovation era or the lifestyle tree?

Regarding the lifestyle tree, there are indeed certain trees that are locked for specific werewolf and vampire perks, and I forgot to include the tooltip explaining them.

I’ll be sure to add it in the next update 🙏

Sorry it took me a while to respond. Thank you all for the support and constructive feedbacks.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. 🙏

Best submod. I had alot of fun playing as the Dwemers and completed the Ultimate Creation decision. Would be cool and funny if there was a decision to wipe the entire Dwemers just like in the lore

Is the innovations suppose to be locked? I can't do anything for after the first innivation tree.

Now make it gay and Redguard.

got a bug with many artifacts that doesnt show in the inventory. They are there, but they dont have any image
