Suggestions
First - thanks for all the positive feedback, it's great to hear that!
But also, in this topic you can tell what I should add to the mod, what to remove, what to change etc. Just to keep the comment section more clean.

1- (Addition) Perhaps make it so that if they spawn in the HRE, they'll receive a large bonus. This is to prevent them just getting destroyed by Austria and France.

2- (Change) If possible, perhaps they could try to prioritize provinces without forts. This would allow them to build up large armies so that they don't get destroyed whilst sieging forts.

3- (Change) If possible, make them have an increased breach chance whilst sieging forts so that they'll assault.

World War Z (Despite how bad of a movie it was) could be a good idea for how the zombie corpses can breach fortresses. Not to mention the disease..

add an event/decision to reform the holy roman empire.

if you hold the core areas (i would say half) you get a decision that will free that half of the HRE and reform it. say if possible generated 25-30 random princes depending on how much territory you have.

when the zombie provences start too uncolonize the zombies get desperate for food and make a zombie horde and attack a human controlled provence and if they don't succuede in 2 mouths they die

HRE is fine, however Italy is a nightmare, so I will add them some troops in those regions, and lower the attrition over all by half. Unfortunatly, I can't mod AI, but I will see in the future if it's possible at all.
Restoring HRE however is not possible probably, because as far as I know, there can be only one HRE in the entire gamespan, but I will look to it too.
Adding them siege modifiers might make some sense, but it would be also taking the only really effective weapon against them, so for the sake of balance I won't add it, however thanks for the idaes.
Zombies already are getting desperate from food, and they attack humans all the time, and they die if they don't capture enough provinces to keep on rolling.

Perhaps the refugees event could have a five percent chance to infect the province?
Finwelf  [developer] Aug 29, 2015 @ 3:21am 
I don't think so, not because it's impossible, I just want something that will transfer some manpower from lost provinces to others.

Can you make it easier to defeat zombie armies in cold areas (Northern europe, siberia and norh america) since they would freeze and become really slow, so that alot of northern countries could possibly survive. (losing southern holdings of course)

EU IV is not suited for things like that, but I will see if it's possible.

Interesting enough, in my test runs they seem to destroy anything anywhere. However, I will probably do some more test runs, but now I'm just tired by bug fixings and responding to comments.

indeed thanks 4 mod they never attack fortresses thoandwhen their about 2 kill the fortress they leave

Thanks for have a suggestion space Finwelf! here is my 2 imo:

1. give the zombie horde their own traditions/NI's. Only zombie traditions would be used for 99% of games.
However for those who want a challenge or be a unstopple horde it would be interesting to see a full NI set.
me? i would give them these traditions:


1A.+20% morale because most zombies i read about dont run away.
(to keep them deadly early on but Prussian/Japanese/Swedish space maraines later would rip apart huge hordes)

1B.+15% siege bonus (zombies are relentless at going for food )
OR
+15% morale recovery speed (zombies dont tire out easily,if at all)


I will leave NI's for you Finwelf,you would know how to make a better NI set better then I.


2.a way for zombies to get to islands somehow. zombies do flot/ infected ships do happen....

thank you again!

Zombies should be able to go to island. Very hard tough but it should be possible i think.
Finwelf  [developer] Aug 29, 2015 @ 1:17pm 
There's no way they should go on boats, there are events that can infect islands already (one is on the screenshot in).
About the national ideas - I might add something, however I don't think it's necessary. Also, the morale boost is already, there, however I will add the morale recovery one.
