[WIP] Lord of Clans

[Guest]

Hello all, this a mod idea I got from this thread though this time I actually hope to finish it.

http://www.loverslab.com/topic/29680-lorefriendly-mod-idea-orc-strongholds/page-2

 

My level of expertise is with creating the evironement and building interiors/exteriors. So for this mod I have already completed this.

There is a new Orc Stronghold at Bilegulch Mine, the area already had some orc buildings and pretty much no quests what so ever... hence a perfect location.

 

I hope some scripters can join me and coordinate this and perhaps someone that is good at making NPCs and dialogues.

This is still very much WiP and without help it wont get anywhere past this level so I hope some others will join me in this.

 

Mod Description:

The Bilegulch Mine (name change needed) used to be a Orc Stronghold but it was taken over by clanless orc mercenaries. The Mercenary leader has declared himself as chief of the old hold.

The player depending on their gender have different end game material this is because women cant become chief as the Orc society is very patriarchal and only the men are eligible to become chiefs and have their pick of wives. So for male characters the end reward is becoming chief while for female characters is becoming a wise-women.

Wise-women are able to 'prepare' the orc wives for the orc chief or participate herself in the activities. She is the highest ranking person in the hold, second only to the chief.

 

Planned Features:

These are the main features I believe are necessary to have, although I am open to suggestions.

 

Rebuilding the Hold:

There are two versions of the orc hold, one destroyed since the Orc mercenary take over, the player can use the many resources around the hold to rebuild it and fortify it.

 

Clan Wars:

all orc holds besides the "Cursed Tribe" are involved in a clan war, the player after becoming chief may wage war against these clans and kidnap their people as slaves and later promote them as full members of the hold. You may also kill the chief and take over the hold completely, more on this later as I am unsure if eliminating a Orc Hold completely is a good idea. (suggestions welcome)

Of course not only can you invade you will also be invaded, all the orc hold members can be killed besides only a select few and the other orc clans are not the only threat but there are also bandits, wildlife (giants, trolls, etc) and dragons that can invade your hold. That is why building your defenses is very important.

 

Slavery (probably female only):

I know some people here have expressed their wishes of an orc centric slavery mod, well this is for you guys. I am unsure as to how it would be best implemented and when it should end. I am open to your suggestions but the slave activities besides serving the Orc chief involves fighting in the pit, gathering resources, accompanying an orc on his hunt and so. (again open to suggestion)

 

Here are some pictures, I will probably add more as I use modding as a break from modding.

I hope you actually make this, all orc content is awesome content if you ask me

Sadly I have zero scripting experience and already involved in other stuff.

However I will make the base for this mod and make it as pretty as possible so at least that half of the work is already done.

Vuulgar approves of this mod and wishes he knew anything that would help, but Vuulgar is lucky to even keep his game running. Vuulgar has also decided its weird to talk in 3rd person...but Vuulgar probably will do it again because he is Vuulgar and is not intimidated by weird.

If Vuulgar likes he could suggest ideas, dialogues, NPC descriptions and so on. These things take time too and Vuulgar may assist in them.

     Hmmm..ok I will put some thought into it. Initially Alternate Start has an option to begin in an orc stronghold, that would be a great way to kick things off imo. An attack from rivals or maybe an assassination attempt could involve the PC in a couple rep building strikes before the PC becomes head of the stronghold.

    No idea how to do it but it might be interesting to add an artifact, orcish and famous to them, that can be captured by the clans. The clan holding the item would get a defensive bonus (ex. every orc in that clan base gets 100 hp) and if the PCs clan gets it random attacks could be generated to try and take it. Sooner or later the PC will be out and the item taken to a rival causing searching and raiding.  Attacks against the PCs base could even include creatures, giants, sabercats, trolls to add some variety. Eventually with the artifact gained you could go do other stuff until after a while an orc runner shows up with news of the theft.

    Maybe a few followers could make up your attack force, 2 or 3 and the player. It would be cool to have some follower options at the stronghold but I wouldnt think they had to be orcs.

    Having the strongholds being able to seem more good or evil as the player chooses would be possibly interesting also.....just some quick thoughts, keep talking and so will I and eventually inspiration will hit you.

I think this is great idea, have our own clan, raid to another one, kill the chieftain, take all of the women and make em into our slave, or if we defeated by another clan, we as the women become their slave

to become the chief of the stronghold the orc need to kill the actual chief so you can add the function to make the dovahkiin kills the actual chief and then become chief of the stronghold then adding a funtion were you  the chief go to other stronghold and try to buy orc female from the chief of that stronghold if he say not you tell him you will kill him and try to intimidate the chief to sell you some orc female. if that stronghold have not side quest you can add a funtion were you have a dragon shout or something similar that make the female orc followers and take them to your stronghold but you need to have a limit of slave that you can have. of course you need to kill the chief to be able to take his female orc.
