I would absolutely love to use this, but it simply doesn't work currently.

I think this might need an update, I've noticed since PF dropped that I'm not getting the affinity points from things like Frost Caller and Spirit Guide.

This mod is outdated.

are the 16 hero governance backgrounds equally probable to be picked??

I find this highly unlikely since 'frost caller' hero gov is very frequent but 'stoneheart sculptor' hero gov is not

this is my experience using your mod with the two mods 'Backgrounds are hero skills' (mod id 2979081104) and '[BROKEN] More Hero Options' (mod id 2981650710). using these three mods together I start the game with a large hero recruit pool, most of which have one of these 16 hero gov skills

======================

if the choice is not equally probable please make it so or release a version of this mod that makes it so

Hey Im not sure but i think there may be a bug with these backgrounds where they duplicate certain traits (not sure though).

i rly like it, gj ad thx alot, but i think its breaking immersion a little, would like to see it assigned to races and/or cultures, like trolls only for goblins and so on

@Archon Thank you for your suggestion. Whenever I come to rework the mod, I'll consider this.

I wish there was a way to throttle the units so that you can produce T3 only when the town itself has been upgraded to a certain tier.

But that notwithstanding, I appreciate the shakeup in unit availability -- thanks for this mod!

@pelias117 Thank you for the kind words. I doubt I'll implement disadvantages as it's not one in the game, and I'm trying to keep it vainilla but with more content.

@Demiurge Not really. There are stronger hero backgrounds that offer units (such as friend of ogres) in the game, and they don't even have an increase in base cost, while mine do. All the mechanics I use are the same other backgrounds use as well.

@Lanjane Yes.
