this is one of the most awesome mods i've ever seen! the animations are so on point, the new units are so clever and thought out well, who doesnt want skeleton dinos and dragons and dwarves and shit in their army!? i have only one issue, my game force closes sometimes, only sometimes, when i go to recruit skeletal reanimation units i open the window for the recruitment, and when i side scroll through the list, it freezes and force closes the game. But i think its a mod conflict, still sourcing the issue.

@All is Dust, thanks for the info, and for all the great work you do.

@annonymus01 I have no influence on any of the submods there except the one that changes voices that I'm also the author.

@All is Dust, short question, the mods list shows Serj's Popculture mod which is marked as discontinud, does that mod still work or has it been integrated into this mod?
Thanks in advance and for keeping tthis great mod up to date.

@TheBigTesot thanks for the bug report should now (hopefully) be fixed

nagash and jade vamps for me

@Sean what faction ?

seems to be getting script errors. Also the bones tally only has dragon bones in it, and everything can be summoned without killing appropriate units first. I think it's just the new base game update

@Bromania should now work thanks for the bug report

any news on comparability with nagash mod?

Just got updated should work, will check compatibility when the nagash mod is updated (I am also part of that mod's team so don't worry it is being updated)

Does this mod still work? Or does it need another update?

i think the update might have broken the compatability with nagash mod it isnt working when playing nagash anymore, basically cant recruit , for the other factions it works fine tho it seem

Spooky

Updated tried to add all the custom factions didn't test it because it will have to be updated next week when the patch drops. But still tell me if it doesn't work.

Do you guys get this mechanic to work for Darkness Daughter faction from legendary character mod?

Does this mod add units for the Legions of Nagash mod? I don't see them, unless load order matters?

@Iceobeasty thanks for the bug report I've reverted to the previous update please tell me if you still have this bug.

i get all units available turn one

I see I can use MCT to select which factions have access to which units. Is there an easy way to disable all units for Tom King factions?

Aye, perhaps it can be another project for the future sometime then. 😊 Me and likely many others would love to have them!

@Dream Traveler I have consider doing liches as upgrades for necromancers but it seems like something outside of the scope of this mod.

Have you ever considered adding Liches and Liche Lords to this mod? Maybe not as buildable undead, but as either creatures you can recruit or as forms your Necromancers and Master Necromancers can work to become? I think they would be really cool since they're like the ultimate skeletons. (At least some of them are depicted as them.)

And on a side note:
I also had the idea of other types of augmented undead. Like burning skeletons or skeleton constructs that have lost their arms but have had them be replaced by blades. Basic zombie varieties like diseased ones, spitting/puking ones, screaming ones (that attract the horde), armored ones, and running ones floated through my head. And just dismembered skeletons or zombies that keep crawling or are headless or one armed, etc. Just a bunch of variations on the plain, basic types lol.

It was a whole brainstorming thing I was doing while working on an original Necromancers faction:

@arytom04 balancing reasons.

@Kienen0101TT you can use the one of the mod managers to do that for you.

I was just wondering why there's a unit cap on them? Otherwise great mod would recoup the losses of my army with dead skaven so I can continue to create more dead skaven again.

Hello, any patch mods to use this with double unit size mods? the single entity links in this description no longer work thx

@Old Ways still works fine

Hello does it work now ? or need wait for an update?

@All is Dust
Sure :)
Here is the Submod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3505075409

i thought about it and implement an MCT option to adjust the recruitment cost instead of a hard coded version

@Valerian you can make a submod as long as it requires this main mod. As for balancing the costs i like my system and don't really have no preference on yours.

At the moment i try to adjust the recruitment script and write a submod with a better system. What would you prefer, a complete free recruitment like the orginial and reduced costs on the lower levels or a bit more balanced, so you get around 100%+ costs on lower levels and maybe only -50% on high levels?

@david.vicr thanks for the confirmation added to the mod description

@haxo it does

@TheClowN thanks for the feedback they will get nerfed increasing their recruit cost, upkeep and reducing their resistance to missiles

@Malefic nope and i don't get that bug so not sure why it is happening to you

@Przemo96 not a bug since you can get access to late game units right at start it would either need to lock them behind techs or have a soft cap like the one this mod uses where you require a lot more money to recruit them while your lord is weak when he becomes stronger all units will become cheaper and cheaper.

@Koyellow not all necromancy units get buffed from red skills and tech but a significant number of them do. Do you have any specific examples of what you would want to see ?


@Sean tested it today and it works

This mod is working for in multiplayer, but not if you use it together with MCT .

@haxo it does work with Legions of Nagash out of the box, they work quite well together

any chance that this works with Legions of Nagash mod?

Please optimize again for the skeleton skinks unit, the unit is too heavy so that the PC/laptop experiences a significant decrease in fps

the Hekatoncheires are BROKEN
i literally beat 3 enemy stacks with one Hekatoncheires stack army
i beat the campaign with this
i was getting destroyed before i spammed those units and just auto resolved everything

Anyone can make a submod so you can just recruit them? :(

Is Manfred supposed to start with 20 of each skeleton available in his back pocket?

@przemo it seems the cost scales with the commander level, unfortunately it is the local commander, not the faction leader so everytime you raise a new army, the cost goes through the roof again. On the other hand some units will become free at some point.
If anyone knows a way to change it (or maybe it's another submod?), I'd be interested as well - it's just too much as a follower of Nagas to get this kind of cash...

Dunno if it's a bug but the cost to recrute anything from here is insanely increased, I mean 4000+ gold for a single unit of skeleton goblins. Is it supposed to be such or do I have a bug of some sorts?

Tomb Kings Tech tree and Red skills of lords doesn’t reflect new units support. It would be great to see different buffs on tech tree depending of which undead faction uses necromancy.

fire!

Small Contribution...

is a submod for this being made to enable necromancy for the legions of nagash mod ?

Nevermind that previous comment as the modlist itself was broken, I can see the AI using Necromancy again, to a devasting effect might I add, I thought Cylostra Direfin was pretty bare bones, until she brought proper bones to the fight... you can do so pretty scary things with the Vampire Coast with some mods.

For some reason not all VC factions are getting the ability to raise Skeletons, Cylostra Direfin being one, is it just for me?

I know flesh is icky haha, but more zombie variety "someday" could be a fun idea. I'd personally think it'd be neat to see variations on the standard humanoid zombies. IE maybe: "Poisonous" Zombies, "Fast" Zombies, "Spitting" Zombies, "Armored Zombie Troopers", "Mutated" Zombies, Patchwork Men from the second edition Roleplay, etc. Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood, and a million other games would be perfect fodder for ideas lol.

Other race zombies would be a pretty cool addition oen day.
