Edo Themed Backstories

THIS WILL WORK WITH EITHER 1.4 OR THE LEGACY VERSION, BOTH ARE NOT REQUIRED BUT ONE OR THE OTHER IS

This mod is an add-on for Edo Expansion that adds and distributes 60 total backstories. specifically 26 childhood backstories and 34 adult backstories. I originally intended to release this with the factions update for Edo Expansion but encountered problems that delayed it.

Why do I need Alien Races?

The base game does not have support for adding custom backstories, because of this I needed to make use of an extension mod. As far as I could tell Alien races is the only mod that has backstory functionality

So does it add a new race?

No, it only makes use of the back story feature.

I'm accepting submissions for backstories

please check the discussion tab for more info. Of course any submissions will be added to both a credits page on the workshop and in the mod description.
