SP Native [WB] A collection of alternative companions

Users who are viewing this thread

Are you fed up of having Jeremus as your medic on every campaign? Read on.
I'm working on a mod that replaces the 16 native companions, allowing for a different play experiences (and experimentations). I played many campaigns with the native 16, and I find I'm running in circles, always using the same guys for the same role. Malik's companion collection has given me a lot of food for thought, but I know I want the 16 to stay low-level enough that you can customize them over the course of the game.

All companions have very basic equipment so that the player equips them as he wants, with little regard for the low-level stuff they originally came with. For the same reason, they have equalized weapon proficiencies and some basics of strong draw / throwing / horse archery.
Dislikes are disabled, and I don't plan to implement any character-specific ones.
No companions are 'noble'. Calradian nobles should object to you granting fiefs to *anyone* you found in a tavern !:smile:
No companions are warriors by design. All have the potential of being strong warriors if you specialize them as such (and it will never make you waste the potential of an unreplaceable specialist).

I made 4 groups:
The sergents
Hiring cost : 1500, level:15, number: 2
Their unusual train:7 makes them teach the player, all companions, and T1 - T3 troops. However you need to level them further, if you want them to train T4 then T5 troops.
They can be useful at any point of the game, but if you don't carry them throughout the game, a more INT-optimized companion will catch up levels and easily overtake their skill.
I made 2, so that it's easier to find one. Their stats are subtly different, but it's mostly for flavor.
I also gave them Surgery 2, because when all hell breaks loose (better medics are KO), good sergents keep rookies alive.

The blank slates
Hiring cost : 0, level:1, number: 5
They are balanced and scaled similarly as the original Marnid/Ymira.
If you optimize them for INT they will be your experts in at least 2 domains, if you optimize them for combat they will be your most optimized fighters.

The adventurers
Hiring cost : 200, level:6, number: 6
Each one has a 1-3 points in 5 support skills, so they are early "jack-of-all-trades" helpers. They pay these early advantages by taking a bit longer to reach INT 30.
It's still not a mistake to use one as your specialist for some support skill.

The early specialists
Hiring cost : 500, level:10, number: 3
  • A medic (wound treatment, surgery, first aid: 4)
  • A scout (pathfinding, spotting, tracking: 4)
  • A scholar (engineer, tactics, trade: 4)
Getting one early is an advantage because of their specialties, but it's not necessary to travel all over Calradia looking for one, as a level 6 one can easily catch up by the time you finally find the one you were looking for.

The mod is designed to be easy to patcg into the mods I mostly play (Tocan's Calradia, Native enhanced expansion)
TODO :
  • In-depth testing and balancing
  • The sergents probably need some tradeoff / upkeep / requirement for balance.
  • Random 'contacts' town (current placeholder is Ichamur)
  • More generic dialogs, instead of using the ones from the companion they replace

Progress report...
With Tocan's Calradia (1.6) :
+ This merges easily with the Python files. all the native items I had chosen are still there
- Tocan's uses a different 'face' system with more sliders, and the binary numbers I designed in Native don't look the same. I should re-create the faces in the editor and store the Tocan's faces separately.
Haven't played a real game with it.

With Native Expansion :
This was very hard to integrate because the last available Python sources are from  .608b, in 2013. Further developments are only distributed in txt form.
I had to compile the .608 sources and compare the results to the .625 txt, in order to reverse-engineer the "initialize_npcs" function in scripts.txt.
In case this helps someone for his own works... At this time, the original line is

trp_npc1 to npc16 are (in this version) ID 355 to 370.
500 3 355 62 -1 sets morality to a non-existing value, and it seems to succeed in making the character object to 'nothing' (and not enjoy it either).
500 3 355 64 -1 is the same for the second morality slot (som companions disapprove two categories of actions)
500 3 355 71 318 is the first character dislike - 318 would be Kradus, unless I miscounted
500 3 355 73 318 is the second character dislike
500 3 355 75 318 is character he enjoys - Again I set all to Kradus (which is never in player's troop, so that the case never happens)
500 3 355 60 some_party_id : This sets the home village, this is what triggers the 'Hey I know this place' speech. This is more tricky because I couldn't find a "party" that was guaranteed to be "nowhere in the map" in parties.txt. I set -1, it doesn't seem to crash or output errors.
500 3 355 141 100 is the payment request. Here I had a little problem with Ymira, because the Native Expansion accidentally sets it twice, and I had only replaced the first one - the remaining price was 12000, because the Ymira replacement is a top-tier, ruler-level character! I removed the second block, which is why the line's first number is reduced by one : 286 -> 285
500 3 355 301 -100 This is specific to Native Expansion : it is the minimum honour to be able to recruit the NPC.
500 3 355 302 0 This is specific to Native Expansion : it is the minimum reknown to be able to recruit the NPC.

troops.txt :
I could copy most of what I generated, but the first line of each character is a list of item IDs, and converting looking up the ID of each item is going to take a lot of time... At the moment, I settled to copying the entire equipment of a "Camp defender" for the sergents, and some peasant stuff for all others.



After playing 65 days in Native Expansion :
I noticed I accidentally gave Blandine Tactics instead of Wound Treatment. It was a typo in the spreadsheet I used to generate the Python line.

The early game is hard because it requires a lot of money to outfit a companion that was basically naked. It's especially harsh in NE where a lot of the loot from bandits has STR 10-13 requirement, so you can't equip your companions with it. It gets much easier once you have some stronger troops that can punch through forest bandits and get their loot.
-> It's probably more interesting to increase the companion cost while giving him items that may be useful for him or someone else : the odd good shield, a pair of chainmail gloves,..
Early game (20 days?) I really lacked wound treatment. 2-3 points in every over skill felt much sufficient.
The low-level characters could catch up higher-level characters as I expected. By day 65 (IIRC), I had two at INT 21 with many skill points to spare, and then I made them specialize in the skills where no-one could quickly improve.
I found a sergent early and I think it worked pretty much how I hoped it would. He was really not a damage-dealer, and spent a lot of time KO. Still, the ability to speed up troops training is precious at every point in the game, and he can often be given high-str equipment before other characters are optimized for strength.
I only found the second sergent ~55 days into the game, despite touring 75% of the cities in general. For balance/variety, I think I will make the sergents dislike each other, with a gimmick that they are actually a married couple that can't stand serving in the same army.
Hairstyle is rarely visible because of helmets, so Clement ang Gorek are never easily recognizable. I should choose faces that rely less on hairstyle.
I tended to repeat the same levelling and "template" for several characters, which is a bit unfortunate. Maybe it's my own bias, but I feel "str-based cavalry" is always better for companions, as it gives them more occasions to kill (and thus get XP) in all the battles where you steamroll smaller groups. You can always push a precious character to the back lines when starting a tricky battle, it doesn't matter that he doesn't get XP in those.
 
Very interesting mod, i wonder why it was not done before ! (Ok maybe cause not much people are playing native) Native companions are very basic and their stats often not fit with their background. So what base will be your mod Tocan's or native expansion ?
 
Thanks you all for your interest and advice!
I want to make things require Native-only, so that it can easily be patched in any mod that hasn't moved too far from Native.
(Who plays raw Native? You should use the QoL improvements, like Diplomacy)
In practice, Tocan's and Native Expansion are the ones I'll be re-playing most in the months to come, so I'll maintain a set of txt files for these (ie: "NE .625 + modified companions")
The mod-specific versions may have some specifics - for example if I find more variety of starting items in the target mod.

If somebody's asking however, I'll see if I can patch another mod :smile: As long as the python files are public...

Tocan's Calradia actually already includes a work-in-progress-at-the-time of Malik's companions, so I played with them for a long time. (And it made me think "80 companions....and only two medics, one of them costing 5000 denars ?")

A funny thing is that I chose names based on portraits first (and much later associated a "function") The name Malik came naturally for the turk-looking guy, and it's only a day later that I re-discovered how it was the name of the original author of one of the mods used in Tocan's!
 
Here's updated version.
Changes
All dialogs implemented
The two old sergeants dislike fighting together, for a rather unusual reason.
Valeria:
Begging your pardon, captain, but there's something you should know about Heinrich. The old man's too stiff-necked to complain, but his old bones hurt, and it's getting difficult for him to keep pace with the troop.
It was merciful of you to take him along for a while, but now you should take pity of him and give him some rest. It would really put my mind to rest if he went home, where our sons can keep an eye on him.
Heinrich:
Captain, I have to speak up about Valeria. See, we're two faces of the same coin. We fought in the same wars, and not always in the same side of a battlefield. It's no wonder we married and raised our kids, got bored when they grew up and moved out, and sought out employment again at the same moment of our life.
But the clash of battle has started to hurt her hearing. She hides it masterfully, but it's getting difficult for me to focus in battle when I worry that her reduced awareness may cost her her life.

Feedback after playing about 700 days in Native Expansion and 200 in Tocan's Calradia :
- From having companions with similar stats, I've been able to compare and see that it's harder for a companion to gain combat experience if he's not a rider. This makes it preferrable to use normal troops as archers; it's till useful to have companions develop "archery/crossbow" on the side, for use in bandit lair raids and sieges.
- The face system in Tocan's Calradia is different (from Improved male faces OSP) so some characters look much different from what I designed for native system.
- Setting slot_troop_home to p_zendar doesn't work as I expected : Even if this party is not visible, it triggers the "here's my home place" dialog when you're somewhere between Radgohir and Ismirala Castle.

I'll see if I can do a balance tweak for companions that you make into lords. From my research, the stats that have an effect would be level (creates more reputation, giving bigger army limit), raw charisma, leadership skill, pathfinding, training. I'll probably provide an early boost to charisma for everybody - this would also allow an easier "trader" specialist.

I am now looking into rebalancing the stats of ladies, so that they are more interesting as wife-as-a-companion (Tocan's Calradia includes this feature). I'll also see if I can fix the dialogs so that she is acceptable as an embassador.
 
Well, why is it so difficult? Pitons, crocodiles Genes, 38 more parrots. It's a pity the time spent by the author on the project. In the program Morkhun, you open the corpse, find the NPS 16 people and put all the skills you need, you can put everything around 10. -Bab check off to whom what. 8 men and 8 women. At least do all the Amazons. At the bottom of the face code, enter the face from some sort of countess or her daughter. Only the top line. And then in the translation do not forget to change the name to match, otherwise it will be Baba Rolf and the man of Imira.
 
I have just started working on a version for the native-like mod called diplomacy.litdum. (For those who don't recognize the name, it's a redesigned / improved Native from 2016-2017. I love how it tastefully extrapolate on the design of khergits, swadians etc. clothes/armors/horses : If you look at a merchant's inventory, everything fits very well together).
Unfortunately sources are not public so I have to make do with the txt files.
The face system is incompatible so I have to recreate the character faces, and it includes the infamous "dollfaces" that allow little variation for female faces. I strayed a little from my original designs in order to employ some of the extra hairstyles.
