[mod] Tentacled Dreams

[evilfuzzyman]

Two things.

 

1) Bug report, tentacle_events_pregnancy is adding dwf_elf_child trait and removing dwf_elf trait, causing elven children born from tentacle'd parent to never gain their adult portraits upon adulthood. You want to add dwf_elf and elf_child1 instead.

 

2) Is it just me, or are babies born from mother + tentacles never coming out with the futa trait? Even with a futanari mother.

They get to transform later on in life, it's not that much of a deal.

Ah this is why my court is full of child elves that say age 46. Thanks.

First, convert some of your provinces to Dagonic, then let the Lilithid heresy appear in your provinces. Once you have Lilithid provinces, you can get Lilithid lovers and convert to their religion.

I hope there is something slightly more meaningful planned, as functional as that system has been in raw gameplay mechanics, it isn't particularly flavorful. Especially if the player character is the primary herald of the new faith. Seems weird to usher in one faith and then after waiting for people to come up with contrary opinions to then consider: "Ah yeah we'll go with that instead."

( To this day, I still do not know why African Pagans have artifacts called fetishes. It seems disconcerting from what is supposed to be a very powerful war-mask )

 

It would have taken less time to google "fetish etymology" than it would've taken to type out that sentence. And by doing so, you would easily learn that the adoption of the word to refer to specific sexual preferences is a very new use of the word. Compared to the original definition referring to objects of mystical power.

If my virtual private network was not malfunctioning, then yes. Unfortunately, living in China has the expected downsides.

Great mod,I'm looking forward to unit icon

Thanks for the amazingly comprehensive feedback, sataniccatholic!

1. Lustful Dagonic characters lose piety (essence). Monthly.

This is not possible to change without overwriting vanilla traits.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

2. An issue similar to early versions of the "consign to pit" modifier - by later game when the traits stack up, my character has so many traits that trying to see them all out becomes difficult. Would it be possible to change certain traits into modifiers to enhance visibility?

I'll look into this, and might move the various tentacle pregnancy traits to modifiers in the future.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

3. Somehow, the “Church” of Dagon starts out as a organized religion. If this is to reflect the fact that we built the secret society before going full out open, then perhaps we could get the option of not founding the secret society before converting, thus giving us the choice to reform pagan?

Making Dagonicism reformable is something that has been suggested several times. While it makes sense on some levels, I've decided from the beginning that it won't be reformable, because that would interact with a lot of vanilla systems and open up a can of worms I'm not ready to deal with yet. For precedent, the Indian religions are in the game as "organized religions" and can't be reformed, despite not having anything even close to a central religious authority.

4. As of the latest version, we can join no societies after coming out into the open.

This is planned for a future update.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

5. Could you add a decision that lets futa tentacle slaves transform back to female?

This is a good idea. I'll put it on the list.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

6. As I mentioned in the previous post, could you stop milking from happening if milk content is at 0? Or all milking scenes like the festival ones for that matter? Or auto set them to something higher than 0, so characters don't get milked dozens of times only to have produced less than 10 litres in playable lifetime?

I've been waiting for Triskelia to update his mod with the milk generation system he says he's been working on. When he does, I'm planning to make tentacle slaves ridiculously productive (as the event text in this mod implies) so that the tentacles can milk them properly.

7. Could you extend the default cutoff time to 45 yrs old?

No, but feel free to edit the cutoff age yourself.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

Part 2: Visuals stuff

Art is very time-consuming to make and I have my hands full with coding right now. This is why I've been pulling from various sources. I also don't want to edit vanilla files, so I can't replace the "abdicated to tentacles" death icon very easily.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

Part 3: RP stuff

There are some interesting ideas here, but I already have a massive backlog of content to make so I'm unlikely to get to them any time soon. I also have something planned in mind regarding the Elder Gods suggestion already. These are good ideas for any mod authors who want to make submods though.

 

On 9/23/2019 at 5:58 PM, sataniccatholic said:

URETHAL PREGNANCIES PLEASE

I'm not into this myself but I'll see what I can do. Do you have any art I could use for event pictures?

more flavor options when abdicating as a tentacle breeding slave

These are cool, I might put them in if I have time.

I have some suggestion for male tentacle monster play below.

Thanks for the suggestions, CNminus. Unfortunately they aren't compatible with what I have in mind for tentacle monsters right now.

Both of these bugs will be fixed in the next release.

[Thegameing]

Abdicating as a tentacle slave is not possible for kitsunes since their age gets stuck in whatever age they get their second tail. Well not technically impossible but it's very frustrating when you have ruled over 100 years and you have a perfect heir but you can't abdicate. Could you please add player only decision that allowes you to abdicate before 40?

[Boobool2]

Hey guys!

I have an issue here. I don't know if it's already been discussed, if it has, I do apologize. Whenever I start the tentacle cult and it begins to spread to my kingdom, I suddenly have 10s freezes at the start of each month. Someone looked at the save file and said there were 389 instances of "tentacles.434" scheduled. Are there any fixes available?

Thank you!

Is it possible to multiply the logic by -1. Having made high piety a minus for the Dagonists generating negative events, and in the events of the Dagonists to change the sign of the arrival and expenditure of piety?
Thus, piety will be equal to the lust of the Dagonists

Tentacles.434 is an event that fires every time a tentacle slave becomes pregnant. There can potentially be a lot of instances of it, but I don't think it has a significant impact on performance; I personally haven't had trouble with it.

Can you explain what the current situation in your save file is, when the freezes started, and what other mods you're running? Dark World Extras is known to be extremely unoptimized and lags like hell when combined with this mod, so if you have it on, that's probably the issue.

[Regarding lustfulness reducing piety]

The modifiers of each trait are defined in the trait and there's no way to dynamically modify them. I've tried to balance out the piety loss by giving Tentacle Cultists piety every time they have tentacle sex.

I always have a lot of piety and nowhere to spend it
 

[lord_ryno]

Love the mod, real good stuff, but i was wondering if some more consentacle type content could be added. Or if there is already a mod out there for that then just point me in that direction.

 

Either way, keep up the good work.

Technically the requesting to be / accepting being corrupted and then all the post tentacle slave events are consensual.  Though the tentacles act the same regardless.  Also there is some implied relationship without actual sex required during part of the planning for a fertility festival events.

[Braidbourne]

2 questions,  Is there an easy way to convert tentacle slaves to the Dagonistic religion?  (not vassals or courtiers)  but other leaders and people?     I am trying to get it to spread but it's really difficult

 

What does taking the holy sites actually do?  (for the dagons)   I read the CK2 wiki about religion but it doesn't go into much detail about what they do

If you go down the tentacle cultist path, everything is more or less consensual.

The easiest way is to flip them with the secret religious cult. When you're out in the open it's a little harder, but they can and will convert on their own through the Dreaming of Eternity event. You can also force conversion if you're their liege.

It ups your Moral Authority, which among other effects makes provinces more likely to convert and heresies less likely to appear.

My reaction...

[NSFWtemp]

Hey, I'm having fun with this mod. I have a couple questions:

 

1) How do/can I convert to the tentacle Lilithid heresy? It's something I would like to do for roleplay reasons.

 

2)My kingdom is located in the Levant and almost all my provinces have or had Arab culture.... which means that almost all my castles have Camel Riding Grounds. The problem seems to be that if a holding already has Camel Cavalry as its special units it doesn't get any Tentacle Warbeasts from new buildings. Is there a way around this that doesn't involve buliding a new demense from scratch, or am I largely stuck with retinues and city vassal levies as my main sources of Warbeasts?

Basically, the freezing starts whenever I make the tentacle religion the official one. And yes, I am running Dark world extras. I'll try to disable it and see if that fixes the issue!!

I'd imagine that you'd have to adopt the tentacle culture to erase the Arab special troops so you can build the tentacle lair to hive buildings in order to levy warbeasts from the province since the culture change will "close down" the camel cavalry buildings/availability.  Or so I think. 

 

 This also affects the combat events involving warbeasts as well because the generic special troops will conflict with any existing warbeasts in the same army and not let the events fire. (Tentacle monsters capturing female army commander events)  This is a bug I've pointed out to Cherisong in the past and I think the tentacle culture was her workaround for that issue.   

 

I think you need to be of the tentacle religion and/or of tentacle culture in order to build those buildings (definitely for the culture since I have a Catholic tentacle culture playthrough)   

 

For alternative starts and using Alaa's cheat menu when I create tentacle religionists with the cheat menu to fill in the "noreligion" areas, I edited the cost/speed of building tentacle buildings to the minimums to compensate for the fact that those buildings aren't automatically built to the same level as the other existing buildings when you use Alaa's cheat menu to apply either the tentacle religion or culture as well as jacking up the chance of building those to 900+.

I've since removed Dark World Extras for the very reasons Cherisong mentioned.  And it offers very little in return (occasional wandering mercenary rape and once per playthrough proceo are about the only things that work in conjunction with the Tentacles mod for me.)  It just wasn't worth it for the lag it added to the game.

Ow wow an entire playable tentacle race. Great work!
