Kishi, God of Bloodshed

Description
This mod introduces a fully-playable god focused on war and combat. In the early game, Kishi can use her powers to instill heroes and rulers with bloodlust, triggering wars and turning humanity against itself. As rulers declare war and heroes kill one-another, the people responsible gain Bloodstains, fueling Kishi’s other powers. Bloodstains can be spent to corrupt or destroy the killers’ locations, provide cover for your own agents, or twist the Bloodstained ones into monsters doing your bidding. As Kishi awakens, characters who accumulate enough Bloodstains can be twisted into demons, annihilating their land and calling forth hordes of monsters to crush the remnants of humanity under her bloody tide.

Features:
• 11 new Powers
• Brand new art for all the mod features
• An exclusive Holy Order tenet allowing acolytes to help you plunge the world into chaos
• A Kishi-exclusive World Panic system that prevents World Panic from spiking due to humanity’s infighting.

Part of the motivation to retreat is based on their liking for combat and danger, so once you force a hero/acolyte to retreat once you can goad them to make it so they're very unlikely to retreat again (or you can just attack people you've hit with Hateful Spirit). Alternatively, if they think it's a very close fight they might not try to flee, and if it's an acolyte you can sometimes 1-turn them.

I'm having real trouble making use of "expose their weakness", as the character just retreats and then I'm desecuritizing a farm instead of a keep

The effects aren't really worth advertising - the God Awakens event gives the Chosen One a Fate point, and it has some unique flavour text based on what god's involved.

"Powerful soul" just means they drop a soul like heroes do when they die - it's a base game quirk rather than a Kishi quirk. This used to mean that heroes got Bloodstains for killing them, but I changed it so it grants bloodstains for every character that has an associated Person who isn't under your control. No more suicide strategies to put Bloodstains on people, I'm afraid.

Ohhh I didn't know about hero's journey, I'll have to add that one. I was scared it would make it too hard since I still kind of suck. That's awesome you make custom effects when paired with those two you should totally advertise that on the page.

You had mentioned below only the courtier, trickster, and dissident had a "powerful soul" - is that still the case? If that was an older comment, do the aristocrat, seeker and dark elf have powerful souls, and what does the powerful soul do?

Thank you for being present and answering all my annoying questions so quick you are a pillar of this community brother.

Kishi should be compatible with every mod (and some of them like Orcs Plus and Hero's Journey have custom effects when used together).

Kishi was designed for vanilla play, and should be balanced with most other mods (though I'm guessing The Whisperer would be strong with Kishi if you're having trouble making heroes kill each other). Lately I've been having a good time with Hero's Journey as my only gameplay mod (and Names of the World for UI), but you can take your pick.

1.Which mods is Kishi compatible/incompatible with?

2. You got a recommended set that would be just right?

The power to create vampires seems to be too strong, greatly outclassing everything else and making it too easy to play as kishi. I recommend raising the power and bloodstain cost by 1. Undead vampires are the most powerful way to spread shadow in the game, due to manufacturing new shadow spreaders and making quite a few a lot of shadow themselves. Try getting a win with kishi while using these to spread shadow and compare the turn time to other methods that do not use them.

Echoes of Ruin is supposed to wipe out several settlements near the poles with a single bloodstain, but high-habitability settlements should be considerably harder.
