Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.2, potentially outdated):
Twitch's Modified Amphitari Race Traits (Grung) v1.1.2.zip  1-click install

 

Grung Traits

Grung have always survived through cruelty, discipline, and the confidence that comes from believing the world exists to be used. Hidden in jungles, riverlands, ruins, and the broken edges of civilization, they endure through cunning, speed, poison, and a deeply entrenched caste mindset.

Grung Traits rebuilds grung into a more mechanically distinct race, giving them specialized racial traits, environmental adaptations, class identities, and meaningful strengths and weaknesses that shape how they survive in the world.

This mod is designed for players who want grung to feel agile, fragile, tribal, and deeply tied to wetlands, waterways, and the dangerous waters beyond settled lands.

These creatures are small, fast, and water-focused rather than living on the land.

Requires: Racial Equality (Expanded)

Features

Distinct Grung Racial Identity

Grung are no longer simply “small amphitari people.”

They are:

• Faster and more agile

• More vulnerable in direct combat

• Strongly adapted to swimming and water travel

• Sensitive to cold temperatures

• Naturally proficient with spears, bows, and tribal weapons

• Built around caste roles and organized aggression

• Specialized toward raiding, ambushing, scouting, and wetland survival

Their smaller stature is enforced for visual and gameplay consistency.

Coder’s Note

I like unique and difficult things, (As seen with the Kobold mod) and with grung I wanted to lean into that again. The goal was to make them feel like tiny, vicious frog people who are not meant to stand toe to toe with larger races, but instead leap, ambush, and dominate through mobility and watery environments.

In multiplayer, grung should feel like they belong in a harsh social order where strength, hierarchy, and intimidation matter. In single player, they should feel like a race that survives by living near the water, using terrain well, and never letting enemies control the fight. (Hop, hop, hop around)

As with the kobold race, I believe there should be clear differences in how the races play, and this is what I wanted grung to offer.

The subraces are still being fleshed out, this is a strong WIP situation, enjoy.
