Sanguophage Vanilla race rework ][ xenotype reda
Let's start with what I've removed, and why:
Ageless - This gene is just wrong, also "non senescent" gene covers aging well enough. The pawn just stops growing after 18 17 y.o.!!! Most real-life races wouldn't even grow beards in that age... The body is supposed to stop growing and then start aging at about 24 y.o. Not 17. That's it about logic.
Vampires mostly look old or at least mature. Also Dracula anywhere is never depicted as a young looking guy.
Coagulate - I moved this gene to my Highmate rework. Never seen vampires having ability like this
Piercing spine - have you read a description of this gene? It sounds so ugly, I would never want to have something like this...
Fast runner - there is a deathrest building called glucosoid pump. It buffs your movement speed. Now you have more reasons to use it.
Tox immunity - Changed to breathless archite gene. If you want it to provide immunity to injected toxic build up, consider using this mod aswell [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3530313755]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3530313755[/url]
Tinder skin/
Pyrophobia - I never seen vampires being afraid of fire (That's probably the main reason I decided to make my mods. All of my sanguophages were ranged fighters before...)
Why not remove UV sensitivity then? - it's a different thing. Also it doesn't even damage them in any way in the game. They just dislike being under sunlight.
Aggressive - changed to "hyper aggressive"
Attractive - In culture vampire men are considered attractive by women mostly because they are just older and stronger. There could be a different explanation like "their psychic power makes everyone around attracted to them" but there isn't.
Strong intellectual - that's a wrong interpretation. Yes vampires are depicted as very smart individuals. But why? Because they lived long enough to learn things!
Strong social - mostly the same explanation as to the strong intellectual. Yet it might be based on how intimidating vampires are. But vampires shouldn't tell everybody that they are vampires, right? Also most people on the rim seem to hate vampires. Why else would they hide? (They hide)
Strong Melee - changed to "Great melee"
Now I'll explain my additions
Breathless - Can you imagine any fictional vampires dying just because they are thrown in space? I can't.
Their body is supposed to regenerate vac burns as fast as they appear. And hold concentrated oxygen in the body.
I bet Tynan would have added this gene into the sanguophage if only he made them at the same time.
Heat super tolerant &
Cold super tolerant - Just another way to show that their bodies are more resilient to everything.
Fire resistant - a very contrast change to the original.
(That's based on high vampires from the Witcher universe.) Spoiler to the books: Geralt found out that Regis was a high vampire, when he took a burning horseshoe out of the fire without being harmed.
Super clotting - Well, that's what we call vampire regeneration. I was kinda surprised it wasn't there already. It's just a time saver because it's frustrating watching your sanguophages tend themselves without medicine for many hours straight.
Low sleep - Want to say I was surprised that it's in the original, for the longest time I thought I added it myself...
Kill thirst - this gene is very interesting and it fits vampires best of all.
And together with "hyper aggressive", and "unhappy", it would make a pawn really hard to contain as a prisoner or a slave. Which is how it should be, they know theirs power...
(Maybe it can even be made rewarding? So that you can study them for advanced research like creep joiners? I might make a mod about it.)
Also it would make a pawn harder to keep happy for the same reasons as ideology leaders and moral guides.
Animal warcall &
Great animals - Vampires are often depicted as able to communicate with animals, especially crows, ravens, bats (Out of three we have only crows unfortunately).
[b]V2.0 Strong shooting [/b] - because their sences would make shooting easier.
[b]V2.0[/b] - Body types are no longer forced(standart/hulk body type genes removed)
Compatible with everything except anything that touches Sanguophage def.
[b]V2.0[/b] This mod is a PATCH now so it's compatible with everything. Error-wise.
Report any issue please
