EK2 True Necromancers
Necromancy Tweaks for EK2 (1.17+)
A lightweight balance mod to make the Lich trait more rewarding without breaking vanilla immersion.
Changes:
- Undead Summoning Boost: +100 raised undead (scales with other bonuses like the Staff of Worms)
- Magicka Regen: +20% arcana regeneration (matching vanilla dynasty perks)
- Spell Discount: -10% necromancy spell cost (stacks with other reductions)
Why?
Originally created for EK2 1.11 when necromancy desperately needed improvements.
In EK2 1.15, necromancy was buffed, but the Lich trait still feels underwhelming. Right now, a player would be stronger as a simple necromancer or life-extending mage. This mod adds subtle, lore-friendly bonuses to cement the Lich as the true master of death—without overpowering the vanilla balance and making it reasonable for a necromancy master playthrough.
Notes:
- Compatible with 1.17+
- Open to feedback, but aims to stay close to vanilla’s vision
- Free to update/modify (credit appreciated)
"For those who crave the dread they were promised."
