How can I recruit legendary lords as empire?

[|Nick]

I want to use another ll for my second army. Is it possible to recruit one early enough so I can use it as my commander of my seocnd army? Or does it take very long to get another legendary lord?
And what lords can be recruited under what prerequisites as the empire?

In Immortal Empires, you can only get more LLs by confederating other Empire factions. If you're playing Franz, you can confederated Golden Order to get Gelt... and the other two LLs are at least a continent away. It'll be a very long time until you can confederate them.

Ok thankyou.
So confederating Golden Order asap is the way to go

Keep in mind that confederating them will cost you three Imperial Authority, and you need to have their fealty at level 10 in order for the confederation dilemma to pop up. Prioritize establishing good relations with them as you can get a bit of bonus fealty that way.

Are there generals that cannot die like legendary lords?

[franz]

You should install defeated LL mod . So when if they die you get them .

If I remember correctly, every General (and Hero) that reaches Level 20 will automatically
get a Skill (which name i forgot) that prevents him from dying. Look in the Skilltree in the Line at the top at the far right somewhere - there you will find the skill and the exact explanation.

Yeah, the Immortality skill

Can every general skill immortality?

Yes, every general and hero gets it for free at lvl 20.

Oh and for the Empire, you have Boris Toddbringer. He's not actually legendary, but he is legendary in the hearts of people on the forum.

Plus, he has a unique model.

I "think" (could be wrong) that Hot Toddy, Elector of Middenheim is flagged to immortal.

Every general gets the immortal trait automatically at level 20 (TK priests get it at 12). It takes a while to get to level 20 when you're starting out, so if you see a suicidal battle coming next turn, swap out your general with a rube to die so you preserve your better general.

As GG mentioned, the recruit defeated LL mod is good as a stopgap measure for recruiting LL that you never got to confederate before they died (like you'll not contact the Hunstman general and the new start position for Holier-than-thou in the southern desert). If you get it though, there's a second mod which I can't remember name offhand but was a mod for configuring other mods...set it up so that the only generals offered to you are "same race".

The only problem with that mod is it messes a bit with the Elector system, but I find access to the distant LL if they die is more than worth it.

There is only Balthasar Gelt and Volkmar the Grim. You have to confederate their both factions but rather use mod Recruit defeated Legendary Lords cause their tend to die quickly. Other than that you can recruit random mortal lord and rank him to lvl 20 so he too become immortal.

There's also Wulfhart. He's often forgotten because his DLC is rather forgettable, though.

Not necessarily. It's very well possible to confederate them moderately early.

The trick is to send an agent to uncover them asap and start diplomatic relations.

What exactly does it mess up? How can I avoid it (not recruiting certain lords, console commands etc.)?
I dont need to recruit lords if the game is broken beyond feasablility afterwards

Boris todbringer from middenland is a tsuedo legendary lord. Hes basically just a regular general with a unique debuff aura. And he cant perma die.

dont know why its been jestered but thats a fine mod and a good workaround for OP (sometimes wulfhart and volkmar are gone way before makin contact)
