Anyone figure out if this mod needs tweaking to work now? Or is it abandoned and broken?

The whole King Arthur mod, including quests and these artifacts, is incorporated in the Early Bookmarks: Legends mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2971032067

this aint gettin no update

ded

Fingers crossed for an update

this needs an update

Do I have to form empire of britannia first before I would be able to obtain excalibur or is it only obtainable through adventure inspirations without having to use decisions?

this still works fine.

Anyone know if this mod needs an update or does it still work?

Truly mythical artefacts should have event chain quests attached that lead to them. For example, Excalibur should have a series of quests wherein the knight should have to prove their virtue, loyalty, piety, chivalry, and might each in a separate event (a character with evil traits should be incapable of passing these tests); thus making them worthy of a meeting with the Lady of the Lake and the granting of the sword. If they should later prove unworthy after having already gained the sword, then a champion of the Lady should appear to challenge you for the sword (Black Knight, perhaps). On the death of the wielder of the sword, whether by old age or otherwise, the sword should vanish, for a new character to seek out the sword and prove their worth. I would also recommend the sword granting a claim to the title of ruler over the isles.

pls do kushite artifacts

how'd you make your own artifact?

To differentiate Excalibur from the multiple "fakes", perhaps give that specific one the original Welsh or Latin name...Caledfwlch or Caluburnus.

The ark of the covenant is already in the base game.

Hello good sire! i may have a suggestion for you, yet another OP artifact idea, THE ark of the covenant, i ignore if there's alredy one in the game (thought i doubt it, i used cheats and i was unnable to get it) but the ark should be in a complete other level, just as good as my another suggestion of the True Cross, my suggestion would be to make it a sort of "adventure", if your character is from either jewish or christian faith, and a religious icon you could take the desicion to go in a quest (This also could be used for other artifacts!) to get it, it would require to have HUGE skills levels, and sheer luck, there should be a possibility of death (you should have a reasson to decide to NOT do it) and if you success, you get one of the most powerfuls artifacts in the world, with huge opinion and prestige boost to christian/jewish, and a HUGE dislike from Muslims (if i understand well, they would immediatly thought of it as fake, and would be angry at you for the blasphemy)

@The Stranger I've noticed the problem too, (only for Excalibur) and I've fixed it.

@WTID noted

@Maison De Cornusiac maybe in the future, though I've got no idea about their modifiers. Also I will need to add a new region (greece) for them. That part shouldn't be too hard though.

Some scientific artefacts from Antiquity which resurface somewhere, particularly interesting for characters who are into learning.

- planetarium
- clockwork mechanism
- steam engine (just a toy size experiment though)
- optical lenses which let you see close things far or far things close, depending on arrangement
- advanced surgery tools
- astronomic calendar predicting position of celestial bodies
- astrolabe

(note: these things are going to get re-invented in later centuries, mostly after middle ages, but have been forgotten knowledge of earlier higher cultures, fragments coming back over refugees from Byzantine Empire)

"The sword Durandal, which was wielded by Sir Roland."


Just wanted to confirm that Durandal is already in the game. However, it's only a blue item.

SUGGESTION ; yada tashy for tengri ? ck2?

iv not had the luck to get it in game naturally yet, and using the debug menu decision seems to do nothing

I thought of adding Excalibur's scabbard, but again, I don't have any graphics to give it, except if I add it to be together with the Excalibur, as in the same artifact (which wouldn't be that bad of an idea).

Next though, I'm thinking of adding some books, as they seem simple enough. Some books I've thought of adding are the Art of War, the Bible, the Quran, the Tripitaka and the Kama sutra. Other books are the Necronomicon, your suggestions, books from CK2 and some from Caesar's books mod from CK2.

@The Aghma I appreciate the suggestions, though keep in mind that I'm limited in a few things. The more unique an item is, the harder it is to implement. Also I'm working with only the games graphics. As for the prognostics, for now there is only one trait for maiming.

Finding Excalibur from an adventure was easier than writing an entire event chain to find it. maybe in the future I will change that, but I don't plan on it for now. Giving it cultural acceptance is an interesting idea, but I don't know if you can limit it to only some. Giving you a claim to a titular title, or even giving you the title itself wouldn't help much, so gaining a claim for England is a good compromise, I think. If and when I give Excalibur an event chain, I will also give it an event for you to lose it.

@xNGDxRevanx I thought I fixed that! You might need to sheath and redraw it, to refresh its graphics

love it so far tho its entertaining that you take the entire stand when you take Excalibur into battle xD

Further suggestions:
- Steel prosthetics that replace lost limbs, and may even give their wearer an associated title.
- The ring of Nibelung, that grants right to rule and is etched with rune-magic
- The cursed ring of Andvaranaut, a ring cursed by Loki to help its wearer find gold easily but brings terrible misfortune on those whom wear it.
- Gram, the sword of Sigurd with which he slew the dragon Fafnir.
- Hrunting and Naegling, the swords of Beowulf.
- Dubán, the shield of Cú Chulainn
- The Shield of El Cid, a knightly shield which bore a golden dragon.
- Highly prized written artefacts such as Dead Sea scrolls, Books of the Apostles, Caesar's commentaries, Cicero's writings etc
- The skin of Valerian

I'll probably leave it at that for now. Let me know if you would like input on what traits artefacts would have, or indeed if you would prefer that I not inundate you with suggestions.

Suggestions for artifacts:
- The mechanical angel of King Richard II (he had a mechanical angel crown him, which was agreed by all to be a great spectacle)
- The sword Durandal, which was wielded by Sir Roland.
- The Five-Pointed Shield of Sir Gawain, that which signifies great chivalrous virtue
- The Skull of the Giant of Mont St Michel in the Duchy of Brittany, which was slain by Arthur and whose head was mounted atop the city gates.
- Morglay, the magic sword of Sir Bevis of Hampton
- The black plate-armour of Edward the Black Prince, which could be forged by the highest tier of inspired armourer and give its wearer the title of Black Prince (prince is derived from princeps and a king/emperor would not think the title lesser)
- Steam powered globes/mechanical devices such as those designed by Hero of Alexandria (automated bird fountains etc).These should be difficult to acquire and the benefits should reflect that.

-Loosing Excalibur through the aforementioned event chain should be accompanied by a severe debuff to their vassals opinion of their ruler based on his loss of divine right, almost certainly resulting in civil war.

-Excalibur should be accompanied by an onus to act as a righteous king should. Being a poor ruler should see events occur that challenge the wielders right to have it in the form of the Fay or the myriad Ladies of the Lake placing test in your way. Failing these tests of character should see it taken from the character and returned to the lake, whereupon another may later undertake a quest to earn it.

-Excalibur should be accompanied by its far more vital and significant scabbard, something that is often overlooked as it is not as flashy as a sword. The scabbard of Excalibur could prevent its wearer from bleeding from wounds, thus aiding them in battle. It is the theft of Excalibur's scabbard that most disastrously effects Arthur in his final days.

-Excalibur should add cultural acceptance or remove cultural malus for the cultures of the isles, as it assigns divine right to the rulership of the isles to its wielder. If we are presenting the world of Romance as truth, then these cultures would have accepted a bearer of this sword as king, no matter their culture.

-Excalibur should refer to the High Kingship of the Britons, not England, as England is an Anglo-Saxon invention. Whilst Arthur and Excalibur is steeped in Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman mythos, it should refer to the older titles primarily as it was on this that both parties staked their claim to Bretwalda (the High Kingship of the Isles).

This looks great! Looking forward to what you come up with. I do have some suggestions, though. These suggestions come from both being a huge fan of the game, and a medieval romance PhD, but hopefully come across in the constructive and friendly manner they are intended. I will try to list them in way that doesn't just give you a wall of text by breaking them up.

-Excalibur should not be attached to an adventurers inspiration, or else the adventurer would be the rightful King of the Britons. It should instead be an event chain the character undergoes that tests their moral virtue. These being the virtues of chivalry: Friendship, Generosity, Courtesy, Chastity, and Piety.

It would be really cool if you ported over some artifacts from ck2 I would really like to see mjolnir

I really like the idea of this mod and am looking forward to the updates. I've been waiting for a mod like this!

As for the holy grail, it should be easy, I think.

@The Stranger I thought about gaining a claim, but I don't know what happens if the title doesn't exist. Do you get a claim more each county, or is it useless? And if it's useless, is there a way to make it so to claim them? Maybe if it doesn't exist you create it?

also can we get eh holy grail?

would be cool if the sword gave you claim on kingdom of England or better yet the empire level title.

@Captain Butters yeah, I've seen the bug with the modifiers and fixed it. I also just fixed the typo. I will update this hopefully today, with a brand new artifact.

@pit_fiend yes, but I will add another one hopefully today.

Only Excaliur atm?

Sorry to spam the comments like this but one last thing: While the decision to draw Excalibur works just fine, the decision to sheathe it results in you being given a version of the pedestal Excalibur that has literally no modifiers. No prestige, prowess, nothing.

Scratch that last part! I found out how to draw the sword.

The description for both of the Excaliburs has a typo. There needs to be a space between the words "Sharper." and "It's". Also, how do you get the weapon version of Excalibur? The debug decision only gives you the pedestal version and I'd like to actually wield it. Great mod btw!

Maybe, but what I'd like to see if I can do is, after you've read it and try to remove it from equipped, to give you severe debuffs, as if it's cursed.

Going on that, you could also make the sacrifice ritual have a chance of being discovered. If so you're basically branded a full-on tyrannic lunatic where you get immediate rebellions, excommunicated, etc.

Good ideas, you can even make it so that it's a repeating option (let's say monthly). Every time you read it you have a hidden stacked chance of becoming insane (or even dying). You could make it like the cult decisions from CKII where you could sacrifice someone (could require it be a direct family member) to give you random buffs once you become insane.

@Kalisa that's a good idea!. Though maybe I can make it to not give a lot of stats, but if you read it (through a decision), it gives you randomish modifiers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll67gXlC6qE if you need some lore to go with it, paths you could go down with it would be to negitive opinion with christian faiths if you hold it, perhaps buffs towards witchcraft if you have it? or simply just a very high learning book with a negitive of higher chance of lunatic.

an idea would also be the book the "necronomicon" could be really good at improving learning but greatly increases the chances of you and your children to become lunatics

@The Renegade no, the Excalibur got stuck to the display case! On a serous node, I fixed the issue, and I will update it later today, with another artifact.
