Description:

This mod gives the Dwarfs race hidden settlements and a invasion mechanic. Restore the Underway to its former glory, but be careful to not dig too deep and awaken old evils.

Currently all the following factions have put into this one mod: Clan Helhein, Ironbrow’s Expedition, Greybeard’s Prospectors, Karak Zorn, Spine of Sotek Dwarfs, Karak Azorn The Ancestral Throng, Barak Varr, Karaz-a-Karak, Karak Azul, Karak Hirn, Clan Angrund, Karak Kadrin, Karak Norn, Karak Ziflin, Kraka Drak, Zhufbar.

If you want another dwarf faction to have access to this mod ask and I will make it.

How The Mod Works

Click the button and pay 1000 gold to create a hidden settlement beneath a settlement you own. (Image 1)
The settlement comes with the first building of the underways chain build it acts as your settlement all other buildings require it.
There is a chain of defensive buildings that gives armies and garrisons additional units has army abilities. (I recommend a permanent summon type mod).
There are different god temples that all give powerful buffs at tier 3.
However to reach tier 3 you need the underways settlement to be at tier 3 which triggers the possibility of invasion. (Image 2)

The invasions have a 25% chance to spawn and after the marker is spawn they have a 5 turn timer until another invasion can take place. (image 3)
The invasion marker spawns with a timer of 2 to 5 turns until it appears, unless you build the rangers building and in that region the timer goes up to 10 turns. (Image 4)
The number of invasions is random for each settlement between 1 to 6 and when you defeat the last one that region gets a buff of 100% oath gold production. (Image 7)
Triggering the invasion early only makes it appear early and doesn’t reduce it’s numbers. (Image 5)
All invasions are 20 stacks. (Image 6)

The invasions are very strong your garrison will be defeated (unless you have a garrison mod) so have a army there or they will occupy your settlement this includes major settlements.

Compatibility Questions and Buggs

SFO submod
Radious submod
Chinese translation
Russian translation
French translation

Should be compatible with everything, should work with any overhaul but the units won’t be the same. For other custom factions I will update this mod If someone ask me, or I start a campaign and decide I want it.

Questions, Bugs and Incompatibilities with other mods in the comments.

Known bugs:
There is currently a bug that I can’t fix where the tool tip says the building price is reduced but if you watch your money it removes the original amount.
There is some stutering no clue how to fix that.

Don’t try and play a oxyotl campaign with this mod on.

Game was stuttering, after some investigation it seems like even thought CA fixed the issue for some UI it didn’t fix it for oxyotl’s silent sanctum’s which this mod is based on so until CA fixes that the issue will persist, a workaround than a solution like Drazhir pointed out is to
1 – hold space on the campaign map
2 – click the arrow on the right side of the screen
3 – disable 3D UI and the stuttering disapears
4 – when you want to look at the icons to create a underway do the oposite to see which are availabel

FAQs

Yes, and it allows you to turn off the invasions.

I mistakenly deleted it instead of removing the dlc requirement.
