NewVanilla LEGACY Racial Tweaks v.1.3

In this mod I did a bit of tweaking to Hivers and Skeletons. In addition, I made some races that were previously unplayable in the base game playable.

Some of the changes include:

- Hiver Soldiers were slightly buffed, adding combat speed and skill adjustments.

- Southern Hivers are now playable, with stats similar to their Western counterparts.

- Deadhive, AKA Fogmen, are now playable as well. They aren't recommend for a newbie, as they have altered skills and racial buffs/debuffs. Fogmen are resistent to gas and acid, able to eat teeth and body parts, but suffer from increased hunger and other debuffs.

- Skeleton races such as the Screamer, Loghead, etc. are now playable. I tried to alter their stats to fit them accordingly, based on their body parts/appearance/original roles in vanilla. Yes, you can play as a headless thrall.

- New Skeleton and Hiver races are treated as sub-races, for the purpose of racial interaction via Holy Nation, etc.

UPDATE: 08/30/21

- Edited values of all playable races when being sold for slavery to make slavery more profitable.

- Wild Fogmen are able to be sold, for dirt cheap.


UPDATE 09/08/21:

- Altered name of mod file to match other NewVanilla mods, making it easier to see/sort them in load order.

This is still a work in-progress. I would absolutely love feedback about your thoughts, experiences, etc.

UPDATE 3/29/22:

- Fogmen and Southern Hivers should be able to wear Hive-exclusive armor now. My bad.

- Skeleton Limb Degradation has been restored to normal. It is a very important balancing mechanic and shouldn't have been changed in the first place.
