Herald's Start Positions - Ostankya in Kislev

Herald's Start Positions - Ostankya in Kislev moves Mother Ostankya from the Bleak Holds in Naggaroth to the Eastern Oblast in Kislev.

This mod was developed alongside HSP - Kislev & Norsca, which aims to establish geopolitical balance between the forces of Chaos and Order in the area.

The previous iteration of this mod moved Mother Ostankya to the Skull Road. With the arrival of Arbaal to the Skull Road with 6.0, Ostankya was moved to her new start position - Plesk in the Eastern Oblast of Kislev.



Here are the main changes of this mod:

- Mother Ostankya has been completely moved to Plesk in the Eastern Oblast, from turn 1 for both the player and the AI;
- her starting dilemma has been disabled, she starts without any bonuses from the dilemma and unlocks the rest of the Kislevite roster through gaining control of Praag (or Kislev, Erengrad), through an alliance, confederation or conquest;
- Volksgrad, Novchozy and Yetchitch have been given to the Kurgan Warhost, a renamed, previously unused Warriors of Chaos faction, to ensure that after finishing the liberation of her first province, Ostankya can pick her next target in peace;
- the targets and descriptions of Ostankya's starting mission line have been modified to accomodate these changes;
- the Khorne Blood Keepers have been reintroduced after their removal in 6.0, under the leadership of a friendly Bloodthirster called Krullast Eighth Lord of Gore, in control of Frozen Landing - a prime target to gain a new trinket for Ostankya's incantations;
- Clan Ferrik has been revived as well, they are controlling Karak Vlag and Fort Dwarrslav, leaving the Goromadny Tribe only in control of Temple of Heimkel, and at war with their otherwise mostly peaceful neighbour to the north;
- the unused Ogre Loose Tooth faction has been spawned near Praag, ready to provide mercenaries for the war effort in the Eastern Oblast, or to be crushed for another potent trinket.


I recommend using this mod alongside Herald's Start Positions - Kislev & Norsca.

I also recommend using these mods together with other Herald's Start Positions mods, and my mods in general, as they are all being developed in conjunction.



This mod is fully compatible with Mixu's Unlocker and Immortal Empires Expanded. It was not developed keeping any new faction mods in mind.

Herald's Start Positions mod series should work with mods like SFO: Grimhammer III, which rebalance different aspects of the game, but generally do not touch the start positions of the factions.


Credits go to Porkenstein and Swissbob for the script framework which I'm using across my start position lua script mods. The province overview map was created using nopeace.net.
