Compatible with 3.6 (Orion).
Forerunner - A Traditions Overhaul is a reworked and updated and in some ways stripped-down version of the highly popular mod Traditions+, now redesigned with compatibility in mind and a Vanilla+ approach to balance.
The content of this mod can be seen below.
Ascension Perks are now gained by pairing a Path with another Path (6 Traditions in total). Note that any Path in any Category can be paired in this way. Paths from Supremacy can be paired with Paths in Commerce, and so on.
Forerunner was designed to be as lightweight and non-intrusive as possible and as such makes no direct changes to any base game file. This is a huge improvement from Traditions+ and how many files it was forced to edit.
Forerunner does, however, make indirect changes to the Tradition files found in the \traditions and \traditions_categories folders by overwriting those files on startup, mainly to hide the original Traditions from player view and "replace" them with Forerunner Traditions.
Forerunner overwrites the following game files on startup.
\traditions
\tradition_categories
This means that Forerunner is compatible with a vast majority of other mods, even mods that add new Tradition trees or mods that touch the Tradition files, although for the latter it is not guaranteed that they will play along nicely, as such mods are only technically compatible.
For best possible compatibility with other mods, make sure that Forerunner is located at the very end of your playset.
I would also recommend using Forerunner as your only Tradition mod to maintain a cohesive game balance and game experience when it comes to the Tradition system itself.
