Description:

Have you ever thought the taint of the chaos gods should be more vibrant and fruitful? That there should by tainted and corrupt soldiers with guns, and bombs, and cannons of Nurgle that spew filth? Well I thought that, so here is a mod that adds a faction that combines the power of Chaos with the Empire.

(((A quick note on "Required DLC": Most of the "Required" DLC will likely just cause you to lack units or effects, maybe some missing textures or voice lines, some may rarely cause crashes if you don’t have them, I don’t know until a problem occurs. Risk the lack of DLC at your own peril.)))

What this Mod Does: Changes the Empire Secessionists into the "Cult of Abhorrence", a chaos god worshipping cult. It also makes sure they spawn in every Mortal Empires game. If you have Vandy’s Mod Configuration Tool it will allow you to choose your faction leader; Alfonsine for easy mode option (except for when playing against them), and Leona for Harder mode (except for when playing against them). The default is Alfonsine.

There are around new 40 units in addition to a new general type, re-skinned and re-skilled vanilla generals, and a number of new agents. Included is a quest line of 13 missions (nothing fancy, just rewards you for conquering the empire). Oh also, there is a new legendary lord. It is also playable in custom battles. You can also get access to various units from other factions who are either chaotic or sympathetic to the powers of chaos. The tech tree was also made to work with this faction and was overhauled just a little.

Balance: The faction is an all rounder, worse at shooting than the Empire, but better at melee, worse at melee than the orcs, better at shooting. Under Alfonise’s rule the faction can be powerful if not slightly overpowered, this is to give the AI a chance to survive beyond the first five turns against the combined might of the Empire. Under Leona’s rule the faction is more in line with vanilla.

If you have suggestions for changes please tell me.

Lore friendly: Sort of? I take a lot of liberties, many of the units are taken from the lore, all are inspired by the lore, and the Legendary Lords are made up because I wanted more female lords, (I’m a woman who enjoys playing as powerful women, and it’s my mod).

Compatibility: It requires a faction unlocker like Mixu’s Faction Unlocker if you want to play as them. And any mod that heavily alters the "Empire Secessionists" is liable to clash (this includes major overhaul mods like SFO). this being said I have worked to try and make sure it is compatible with a number of mods that edit the Empire and gives a few secret ways to still use other mod added weapons in this faction. (Nuln gunnery school, for example, should allow you to recruit many of the artillery units still.)

Issues and Bugs: If you see any issues tell me, I know some of the building names and descriptions are not quite fitting, I may update them in the future (I simply couldn’t be bothered to update all the hundreds of entries, it required a lot of work as is). I am always willing to listen to feedback and make changes.

Submods: You can feel free to make submods. If you do make a submod, feel free to comment the link and I will add it to the description. Here are a list of existing Submods already.

You may want but shouldn’t have to rename the files in your workshop folder to "Chaos_Cultist_Mod" Make sure you have one version of the mod installed, not both)
