Old Men

Description
"Don't get old, you won't like it"
-Useless advice given by the old to the young.

This mod gives you the race of Old Greenlanders, that just can't survive the same rigours as those relatively youthful ones.

Included is a start as a United Cities Noble that has to grapple with what to do when you've got some wealth, some connections, decent equipment, but an old body.

Or maybe you'd rather play a trio of old hivers. They got swords and semi-decent equipment.

There is also an old shek hero in their lands that you can recruit. They are the shek in the bar with lousy health but a big ego compared to their peers...

New: Play as an Old Scorchlander that finds themselves naked and missing their arm in the middle of the desert. And you though Rock Bottom was hard!

Previously, Old Shek Hero was the only recruit, and he was limited to cities owned by the Shek Kingdom. I have now updated the mod to include Old recruits to the generic recruit pool, so they should randomly appear in Waystations. I have also added random recruits to Sho-Battai, so you can see what is available. NOTE: There are a LOT of bar squads in Sho-Battai, so it will take some searching of the bars and bakery, along with waiting for them to actually enter the bar. They ARE there, but they'll take some looking.

Does this add npcs/recruits? If they are in the game they are incredibly rare, I haven't found one elder in my travels yet.

Perfect, now I can truly be a bottom-dweller and only pick fights with the old and crippled! Truly a must-have mod for the optimal kenshi experience.

Glad to hear it.

@EuchreJack - YAS! What a great gift for Xmas you've just given me! Thank you very much! Playing right now! :-)

New race of Old Scorchlanders added with a custom start. Hope it's what you're looking for.
I'm actually not exactly sure where it starts yet, the force start locations are not intuitive, and I haven't found anything to help me understand the coordinate system of start generation.

@EuchreJack - fantastic! The start can be somewhere in the golden triangle made by Heng, South Stone Camp and Slave Farm; Beak Things are nearby, too ;-)

Yeah, I gotta get Old Scorchlanders completed. Where should the player start?

Is there any chance for old Scorchlanders - solo or a group of old farts with faces marked by the oh, too colourful lives and bodies far too fragile for their still rather pompous egos? ;-) Can be an old chap with a debt ('coz young ones don't know how to play blackjack!), waking up after a party (gimmie another bottle of rum, NOW!) in the middle of a desert, with his...unspeakable barely covered. Thinking about the Silver Horde from T.Pratchett's books now. ;-) Would you consider creating and old Scorchalnder start, please?

You've got plans to add the rest of the vanilla race variants in the same fashion? I'm loving this mod, the slow regen was the top of the cake, very inmersive, I highly recommend playing this for people looking for a funny way to add difficulty in kenshi.
