The early Breach – Undead
This mod is an early offshoot of a more ambitious total conversion mod I’ve been working on for a few months now. After some experimentation I wanted a more Vanilla Mod to test out different aspects of Modding in an enjoyable enviroment and so I came up with some historical conversion scenarios I liked.
This is also the second upload of this mod since I managed to screw up the upload process when I updated the mod.
I also switched the Title around since I’m planning to do more modules und probably compatibility patches in the same theme.
"The early Breach – Undead" adds 7 new lifestyle Traits all focused around different kinds of necromancy and complex systems to gain experience in these traits. It also adds a lot of different kinds of Zombies, most of them not ment to be playable but to be minions with different effects on your character and your gameplay as a whole.
This mod changes the usual bookmarks based one "simple" change. What if Charlemagne became an Undead?
It forms the HRE in the 867 Bookmark as an Administrative Empire dominated by the Karlings and destroyes it in the other Bookmarks with a special Twist in 1178 you can see in the Thumbnail.
It has been a lot of fun working on this mod, and after I have reached a state where I personaly realy enjoy playing it I wanted to publish it for others to try out, perhaps give me feedback – maybe even on coding, file structure or working on dds files.
I will put two additional text files into the main folder of the mod for anyone interested, one for disclaimers and background of the mod and a second one explaining the core mechanics of the Mod more in depth than the Welcome Notification – be carefull, this document will contain spoilers for interactions and events but might be usefull if you are lost what to to with the different Lifestyles.
The first Images in the description show you what you have to be carefull about when using the Ruler Designer.
Make shure to just select skin tones from the lower center or else your offspring might become green or purple.
Many of the negative traits have been tweeked to cost around 100 pointes, these are the traits that will enable the desicion to embrace a style of Necromancy.
It is also very viable to just start a game as usual without thinking about the new lifestyles, explore the bookmarks and if you fullfill the requirements to any of the lifestyle the decision will show up since they are Major Decisions.
There is one Disclaimer I want to put here anyway, this mod is about Undeath and therefore it’s visuals are more gruesome than the base game in many ways. Since it is in the nature of this Mod to be this way I did not bother thinking about ways to disable it in the settings, however it is still possilble to turn off Nudity in thematic ways.
