The Ubersreik Five

When your Legendary Lord reaches Rank 5, a new recruitment dilemma will trigger. Your lord will have the opportunity to teleport to Ubersreik, arriving without their army — only the lord and any accompanying heroes. There, they will join the U5 in a sequence of escalating battles against Skaven, Chaos, and finally Undead forces.

NOTE: Karl gets an XP boost after his first battle to get him quickly to Level 5, this is to avoid a desync in the minicampaign if he is seiging Ubersreik at the time the event dilemma fires. It also provides some compensation that Karl faces quite a few early enemies, and is pushed by extra enemies in the mini-campaign.

You can also decline this initial dilemma and skip the U5 mini-campaign. In this case, you will miss the rewards and traits that come from the fights for Ubersreik and Helmgart, but you will be able to recruit the U5, and they will show up after a few turns.

The entire mini-arc plays out on the campaign map, not through the mission system. This allows for a fully sandbox experience where you decide how to approach each fight. My intention was for the arc to feel like a Vermintide-style gauntlet — a handful of heroes carving through overwhelming numbers — but you are free to recruit additional units if you want. How you survive the arc is entirely up to you.

Completing the storyline grants unique rewards for both your Legendary Lord and the U5.
This update includes a significant amount of scripting. I’ve tested it extensively with a small, controlled mod list, and everything functions as intended. However, it’s impossible to account for every mod combination or every creative way players might approach the scenario, so please keep that in mind. Just a note that the recruitment chain relies on settlement keys on the vanilla IE map, and other mods that alter these are likely to cause issues. It is compatible with ‘The Old World" map.

The full U5 are available to the same factions as previously, and Sienna can still be recruited by the VC, and Kerilliann by Wood, High, and Dark Elves. I have also scripted it with MP campaigns in mind, and now only one player in MP will be able to recruit the U5, though all players will see the dilemmas. Should also be Save Game-safe, and if you are well into a campaign, you should not see anything different with this update installed. If you wish to see the new story, you will need to start a new campaign.

I hope you enjoy this mini‑campaign and the Vermintide flavour it brings to your campaign.
