Draken Race (V68)

Draken are a proud and resilient race, characterized by their exceptional intelligence, formidable physical strength, and unparalleled ingenuity. Once enslaved by dragons, they have since risen from oppression to become a force to be reckoned with in their own right. Though their origins may be steeped in servitude, they now stand tall as masters of their own destiny, shaping the world around them with their remarkable pragmatism, intellect and exceptional ingenuity.




Draken come with fully customized portraits, with several available combinations to be generated by the game:



Accompanying the portraits, they also have their own custom units:




To go in line with the theme of the race, the technology tree brings the opportunity to improve on the professions Drakenare already good with, like crafting and science. The new technology tree also unlocks the custom rooms and resources that get added with the mod.




Draken bring their own set of statues for awe generation, aswell as a Fire Gem monument for harmony generation. Said Fire Gem can also be used as artillery to fling some fireballs.



To flesh out their repertoire, Fire Breath glands can be produced early on, allowing them to breathe fire in battle. This ability is slotted extra and does not stop them from using two handed weapons, or a sword and shield.

• Strong heat resistance
  
• Strong battle stats
  
• Preference and proficiency for science, crafting and administrating
  
• Terrible farmers and herders
  
• Low submission

If you have any feedback regarding balance or issues, let me know. Please join the mod's topic in the official Songs of Syx Discord:

I will always keep changelogs updated in the Discord topic. Again, any help testing is appreciated.

Things I know that need some work:

• There are no children sprites (defaults to adult)
  
• Overall polish

Draken should be compatible with any other mod. If you like Garthimi gameplay, try out my other mod, Garthimi Expanded:

This race is an adaptation of the assets I've made for a Soulash 2 mod, if you like that game, check my mod out:

• Nobles at maximum zoom out become purple. This is a base game issue. Draken do not have a separate floating head; as a result, their whole body turns purple when rendered. This issue affects every race in the game, but it’s very hard to notice with other races because they have a separate floating head and are smaller. I could separate the head from the body, but this would create other visual problems due to their wings and the way the game renders visuals at maximum zoom out. I do not have a solution for this at the moment.

Thank you!

Some assets and ideas were worked on top of existing content in the base game. Thank you @ThosomTom for creating Drevan, the race this mod is inspired by.
