I have tried to make it as complete as I understood feasible for a first release:

• Fully animated male and female portraits
  
• One outfit for each type of leader and pop with a few extra colors for rulers
  
• A custom and completely free trait to contextualize the species with my vision of what they are
  
• English and Chinese localisation [龙裔]

My original intention was for a militaristic species with very high physical prowess, the trait itself reflects that. I do believe though that there is nothing that stops any type of build to be completely viable roleplay wise, for that reason I have not written them any lore. They'll be whatever you want them to be; the only thing they won't be is weak.





It should be compatible with any other mod. It does not replace any base game file.

I highly recommend to use this mod together with UI Overhaul Dynamic. The sprites are pretty big and so are the meshes, so everything will look better with it. The mod will work without it, but it may look like the sprites are trying to escape the UI limitations.

In terms of future, I am still not sure. I gravitate towards creating them an origin start and a few legendary rulers. SD has been used to generate a portion of the reference material used to make these assets, a very significant amount of photoshop tools, plugins and editing as well as my own sketching and painting.

Thank you very much to anyone who decides to use my little thing. Even though this took a while, it was overall very fun to make and figure out. Feel free to send me any feedback, positive or negative here in the mod's page comments.

if you are a fan of 4X games, try out Songs of Syx. It is a great 4X colony sim game that definitely deserves more attention. While you are at it, try some of the mods I've made for it too!
