Blood Broads & Bastards
Overview
Blood Broads and Bastards (generally abbreviated to BBB) is a modification for Medieval II: Total War that aims to provide an experience that includes more elements of role-playing through the use of game mechanics such as titles, traits and religion.
Features
Many of the changes that are present in the modification are implemented through use of the traits and titles system. Each province has a title associated with it that grant certain effects to the character that holds it. Similarly, a system is introduced of tracking 'royal blood' and lineages of royal houses through a complex series of traits.
Many other historical titles and roles are present in the game, such as Privy Council offices, Grandmasters for the knightly orders and the Orthodox Patriarch. Rebellions are also a possibility, depending on the certain traits that your family members and generals possess, and nobles may turn on the player, refuse to move or rebel (taking cities with them) if they become too disloyal.
Princesses are given a major overhaul, with the aim of making them less generic characters and more dynamic. They are also now affected by the genes of their mothers as well as fathers. They are also now subject to a new 'education system' whereby they may receive several types of education which affects the sort of character they will become.
In addition, the modification also fixes many bugs with traits and ancillaries that were present in the vanilla version of Medieval 2: Total War.
