The 1.4 version is separate because 1.4 changed how backstories work a bit. It's at at https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879649038

Do you plan on updating this Mod to V1.4 ?

wake up samurai

Very cool mod Shenanigans

Any chance for 1.4 update? Since backstories are in defs now and no longer require HAR

Hi @Shenanigans, many thanks to you for such an amazing mod! Do you have any plans updating for 1.4 and the new DLC?

Too powerful, each one should have -4 int and - 4 social

what is woor mauler?

you should add +2 Art to the Doll Maker backstory

@Maxmillionysis if you read the whole description, down at the bottom under "Other Things of Note" the creator directly says they do.

Question, do all of these have the "enables Natural meditation" that the vanilla tribal starts have?

@Shenanigans wonderful, keep up the good work, and remember to take your time, rest and do things at your own pace. <3

@ Morgante ITA Thank you! I'm happy you like them! I do plan to do more for other factions/tech levels. I have a bunch written for Outlanders and some for pirates and spacers too. I've just been super sick the past little while so productivity is a little slow.

@Shenanigans do you plan on making other bg packs for different tech levels as well? I really like the tribal ones you made, would be cool to have even more variety for the other techs too. Nice work aniway!

@shenanigans ок

@V∆ŁĶẎŘĒΞ Sure, I can try that! When I have some time I'll create a discussion thread and post them all.

@shenanigans maybe you will throw off the name backstories and their description, and I will throw off the translated versions later, and you will add to the mod?

@V∆ŁĶẎŘĒΞ If I could speak Russian, I would totally make a translation for you. I only speak English, but if somebody does decide they'd like to translate, I'm happy to provide any help I can if clarification is needed on the words or phrasing I use.

Rus translite pls plz plz

wow that pawn is legendary @peasantUnit

@PeasantUnit Oh damn. Those are some big numbers. Future Chief is supposed to be good, but not THAT good. I think that pawn is partially very lucky and partially me needing to nerf those particular backstories a bit. I'll look at tweaking the values.

Isn't this a bit much? https://prnt.sc/VSkIH6csk91v

its also the correct way to say it

@H0nkAmGoose Thank you! <3 Aluminium is so much more fun to say.

This is a wonderful mod, but don't worry about the Canadian spelling; I usually use aluminium instead of aluminum.

thank you!

@Deep There aren't any that are 100% negative or straight-up positive across the board.
Some are for sure more useful than others. I tried to copy how the vanilla backstories are for balancing. Pretty much all have boosts in certain skills, sometimes a skill decrease, maybe an appropriate disabled work type, but nothing that will make a pawn completely useless or totally overpowered at everything.

whats the positive vs negative backgrounds count? If ther are more positive than negative, this will tip the balance

@PeasantUnit Yup! Any pawn that can spawn with a "tribal" type backstory will have a chance to have these.

Will enemy NPCs from tribal factions inhert these backstories as well?

@Furious Joe Yes! Countries who spell things properly and who use metric and Celsius rise up!

@Waterleaf Ooh, I like these! The medieval ones I've been writing has a cursed child, I can probably rework it to fit with the tribals too. I'm not 100% sure if I can grant a psylevel for the shaman but I might be able to. I'll see about adding those in (I'll credit you for the ideas of course!)

I got a few ideas that would be fun/I would like to use:

- Some sort of shaman backstory that grants a Psy level at the start
- Witch doctor who would prescribe false medicine
- Actually just insane.

- CURSED CHILD CURSED CHILD
- Child sacrifice
- Stolen from a faction of higher power

AHHH the Canadian spelling, good to see another country besides Australia and England put those savage tea spilling Yankees back in their place.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

yay!

@Davi I'm working on a medieval one :D

Wish someone made a medieval backstories mod for the medieval overhaul :(

@albertossic Some of them do have drawbacks, but more so the adulthood ones than the childhoods. For example Captured Pillager renounces their violent ways and grows flowers (good at plants, incapable of violence) and Sacred Dancer only learned to dance and not much else.

@abertossic But the doll maker backstory literally says they were in charge of caring for children. How would that reduce their social skill?

@Cpt.Bromerica Good to know people aren't picky! My spellcheck is always giving me red squiggly lines if I forget to swap it from American English.

I hope you know Americans both use Colour and Color, as well as Gray and Grey. We may have a preferred one but both are acceptable.

@Blessed Empire I like doing tech limited playthroughs too! I've been working on writing some medieval backstories. I'll be sure to throw in some viking themed ones :)

Pretty interesting mod. May I suggest doing one for medieval backstories? Like the ones added in VFE expanded vikings and medival? I like to play with tech limiting mods and the medieval and vikings pawns use tribal backstories. It would be cool to see some more "medieval exclusive" backstories.

@TheSevenSins All of these backstories should give the natural meditation type so that they can use the anima tree :D The "Sacred Tree Tender" backstory makes indirect reference to the anima tree (I didn't want to mention it outright so it still feels fitting for people without the DLC)

have you added medication focus? this could help have more pawns that can meditate with the anima tree :3

@Nanotonium Tribals are underrated! Hope you enjoy!

@Delta1138 Yup! If you select the tribal start they'll appear just like the base game backstories.

@Shenanigans will these backstories appear on colonist tribals as well?

Cool. More tribe stuff is always nice.

@Уэс I don't speak any other languages myself, but if there was somebody who wanted to translate, I would be happy to help if they need explanations on the words or phrases I used.

НАМ срочно нужен русский моддер который переведет этот мод за неделю.
