Radiant Primordial Hive

Description
This mod adds a new Hive strain called "Primordial Hive". I took a very special care to design their new textures and colors, it did cost me some crazy time. This primordial hive and its 4 individuals kinds all have new stats, it's a little bit stronger than the southern hive ones, the mod should still perfectly preserve the game difficulty since you can't have many of them. Historically these guys were the strongest hive strain but mysteriously disapeared from the past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEWS & FORTHCOMING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

21 January 2023 : Most of dialogues received a first correction batch, I'm now also beginning to implement the red queen unique character in the world. An alternative way to recruit red hivers has been set and located in the east slave farm, the 3 slave shops all have 15% chance to spawn a red hiver. They'll have a common red hiver dialogue package still under construction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MOD CONTENT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A New Hive Strain called : Primordial Hive. Implemented as a whole new race to enhance compatibility with other mods.
  • Unique Hive Texture : New tattoo patterns, more details, weariness traces, preventing any texture loss, enhancing these dull hive hands with a whole new photoshop paint job, balancing the dark and light levels, so this texture reach a professional level, the kind i am usually delivering to my employers/customers. I hope you guys will notice the work and appreciate it.
  • Unique New Stats : (See the screenshot for details) Core roughly the same for the 4 kinds, but kinda different for Skill advantages. Soldier is way ahead of the two other for close combat, he should now be among the top meta dexterity based assassin/recon. Worker is weaker but flexible labouring/turret/crossbow specialist : in short, a solid base keeper ! While the prince become somekind of a shek guy of the hive, with a nice strength ratio, having of course far less body resistance than sheks but on the other side they keep their cleverness and hive mobility. Lastly, the Queen will be your best stay-at-base character for all your craft and research.
  • New Race descriptions.
  • 3 Unique New Unique recruits : (See the 2 related screenshots for more details). Now your red hiver main character won't feel alone anymore ... if only you can find them ! It was a tremendous work (1000+ lines of dialogues). A new game is mandatory to make this part of the mod works at 100% ! Though, not doing that won't bring you bugs or crashes on old saves.

Here are other hints if finding them drive you mad, but I gotta say you disappoint me ! (granpa voice : "back in my day we didn't have internet and sometimes not even saves")

Clutch has moved on a new life somewhere in Black Scratch, all the same for Daiko in Sinkhun, Bluerain had no luck and live in one of the slave camps near Heng, he is pretty hard to spot in the crowds or private buildings. Finally Queen Fayane is detained in Tengu's vault.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COMPATIBILITY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tested with 50+ mods, this game has a pretty simple data architecture. It should be compatible with any other mods.
IT DOES NOT ALTER THE VANILLA GAME, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR GAME IT'S PROBABLY NOT THIS MOD FAULT.

This mods needs a clear new game or a full import for old saves to work properly.

¿What is needed to recruit Daiko?

Hey Shiro!

It looks like the tags for the primordial hive are missing from certain world interactions, such as with the skeletons in black desert city. I think the tags might be missing for holy nation too, causing the HN to treat hivers like humans.

If you could update the mod to fix this, that would be splendid!

There is a sub-mod that adds Primordial Praetorian in game. The author of the mod is another user though.
Wihnty 25 Jun @ 7:30am 
Any intent of adding Praetorians?
TheHappyTau 24 Jun @ 2:59pm 
Hey Shiro! Do these custom hive have correct tags for world reactions? IE, holy nation thinking they're just beasts, and western hive not letting them trade?

@Shirohô. I've created a patch between this mod and Limb and Decapitation Overhaul, which uses my dummy mod Princess of Cute Hive ALL EXPANDED to supply unique severed limbs to all affected Hivers, to allow the user to craft new Organic Replacement Limbs skinned to match the races that the severed limbs are supplied from. I needed to combine the metal part from Limb and Decapitation Overhaul's hiver texture with each affected Hiver mods to achieve this, but to function as expected it needs characters from each hiver mod to supply the severed limbs for crafting.

If you do not want your textures included, please let me know (either here or on this linked mod) and I will remove it from the distribution.

This is a great mod.
Bluerain appeared as Slave Trader faction, while enslaved himself, so he was hostile when i "saved" him; once imprisoned in my base, Queen Fayane had dialogue with him and he became instantly ally; pretty cool.
Clutch all sad and lonely in Black Scratch... has very interesting dialogues once hired.
Before freeing the Queen i had already cleared few Slave Camps... there i freed couple worker drones and a soldier, sadly they went their own way.

@Shirohô. I'm going to be putting together a Mogwai Hive Overhaul patch for most, if not all, the modded Hive strains. Is it alright with you if I include your body texture (the one that Worker, Prince, and Soldier use) in it to work with the race I'll create to match Mogwai's Hive Queen [Alternate]?

Hi everyone, want to praise the author for such a masterpiece) Although I have a question- were I can find Daiko in Sikhun? I literally searched every location and building in Sikhun but couldn't find him. Hope for respond with advice or a tag with direct instructions mentioned before:)
