Nekos

Description
Adds a new semi-serious race to the game, Nekos, cat-girls, whatever you prefer to call them, that like to fish and work in the service industry.

Much of the information you may want can be more easily found in the provided images if you know all the symbols and whatnot. That said, let's get into the details.

General Overview
  • Nekos enjoy catching and eating Fish.

  • They also enjoy working in the service industry, providing food and ale to other citizens.

  • They tend to prefer Wood or Grand structures, but are not overly picky. The same applies to round structures, they prefer them, but not by a lot over Square structures.

  • Nekos live primarily in Temperate environments, however they tend to travel far and wide on their quest for new and exciting fish to eat, so they can be found in most places to some extent.

  • Being loosely related to other cats, they are quite agile and can move swiftly.

  • They have their own naming system mostly separated from the other races, and as such are a bit more unique in this sense. It just so happens most of their family names are the same as various types of fish. Who would've thought?

  • Nekos are essentially worthless in a brawl. While they have other invaluable skills, fighting on the front lines of an army is not one of them, as they are rather frail compared to other races' warriors.

  • Due to their frail nature, and often living among other races, they've learned it's better not to break the law at all. Some still do, but it's rare.

  • Nekos are considered as submissive as Humans and Cretonians, and as such, could reasonably be enslaved by another race. (But what kind of monster would do that???)

  • Finally, and most importantly: They have a custom face spritesheet, meaning they have a completely custom appearance, and I am proud to say they are not nearly as ugly as the other races. It's not perfect, but after 35 iterations of improvement, I believe it's good enough to post.

  • They have lower expectations of ever being considered Nobles, and as such, nobles count for 50% more towards satisfying them.



Detailed Changes from Race Defaults
  • They receive 100% fulfillment working in Fisheries, Canteens, Taverns, Chambers, and Bath houses.

  • They receive 80% fulfillment from working in Eateries.

  • They receive 50% fulfillment from working in Guardposts and Courts.

  • Nekos also receive a 50% bonus to work skill at Fisheries, meaning they catch more fish.

  • Very low criminality rate.

  • 100 custom first and last names, making a total number of combinations of a heckin' lot. They additionally have a smaller set of custom noble names, as well as a few comical army names, should a rebel Neko army ever come to visit.

  • Assigning a Neko as a Noble will count towards full satisfaction of 750 other Nekos, rather than the default of 500. Nobles go further, essentially.

  • Their combat stats have been lowered to 0.0 armor, 0.2 Strength (default is 0.4, impacts melee damage), and default combat stats other than Stamina, which is raised up to 0.7, so they can run away faster. They are, however, pretty good archers.



Future Hopes & Dreams
I hope to continue working on this as updates come out that allow for additional features and elements to be added to this race, this includes:
  • Making other races a little happier in their presence.

  • While they hold a seat on the council of Fast, they do not yet hold the title of Fastest, and I would like to be able to make them the fastest of the current races by a slight margin once possible.

  • Making their hair longer. As it stands, I like the hairstyles I've been able to give them, but the way the spritesheets currently work, I cannot give them long, flowing hair that befits them. Truly a tragedy.

Honestly not getting updated anytime soon. If anyone wants to take the assets from this to make a new version and just credit this page, that would be fine.

I have not kept this updated as the format for modding has changed and I've not had the time to figure that out.
