Description

My work in progress for a Crusader Kings III overhaul mod set in the my little pony Universe, Equestria: The Dark Age of Magic. Posting here to increase visibility and maybe attract some talent to work on the project with me.
 
Intended to be set in the period 1000 years ago, when Equestria was a much more dangerous place and the various historical figures were rising to prominence. Intended to touch on the darker elements featured in G1 and other themes left ambiguous in G4.
 
Ask any questions here, privately or head on over to the forum thread in the source if this is of any interest to you.

Maybe ask the hoi4 modders of equestria at war for some help? They’ve made pony soldier models and even griffons and changelings. Plus the lore to save brain power of writers. We can have a closer to home Griffonian Empire cuz it was based on the HRE.

I’ve updated the description with a link to a discord server. You don’t necessarily need to have experience in modding Ck3, though comparatively it is one of the friendliest paradox titles when it comes to modding. Gaining publicity is my main priority so if you know someone who might be able to help. I’d appreciate it if you’d send them my way.

I wish you the best of luck with your mod. I would say I’m hyped, but I still remember the disappointment of the CK2 mod failing to deliver so I will withhold my enthusiasm for now.

It’s certainly possible to create custom models and have them displayed in the portrait interface. The Game of Thrones team created a dragon model so theoretically, custom assets are possible.

Okay I’m stupid because this is clearly based on the cutie map.
 
Good luck with the mod, but I think the only way you could make the portraits work is if you rip the gameloft models. There’s some info about ripping/datamining the game out there, but I couldn’t find any actual 3d stuff uploaded anywhere.

I don’t know how CK3’s portraits work but I would’ve thought a pony mod impossible?
 
The zebra lands are presumably what can be seen to the west on the cutie map, from the show. The cutie map is never seen from a bird’s eye view. I made some merged versions of the two maps but they’re too ugly to upload them to derpi. I could send them to you if you want.

Will this mod include the Farisian shores featured recently in the Season 10 comics?
