Execute (useless) Lords & Heroes

Updated for "Total War: WARHAMMER II – The Hammers & Herdstones".

This mod adds ui elements that allow the player to "execute" (useless) lords and heroes – even if they are immortal!

The longer you play a campaign the more bloated the character pool usually gets. With this mod you are able to get rid of unwanted characters.
For example:

• Characters you recruited in a emergency and don’t need anymore
• Characters you got from confederation
• Lords or Heroes with traits you don’t want
• Characters with unfavorably allocated skill points
• Characters that did not perform well on the battlefield and thus should be sentenced to death
• …

New method:
Ironically the script method to heal wounded characters can be used to delete them if used at the right time.

Old method:
This mod disables the immortality effect of skills, traits and technologies in the database and instead handles immortality on a script level. This allows the mod to remove the immortality whenever the player wishes to delete a character.

For all vanilla legendary lords and heroes aswell as ones added by popular mods (e.g. Mixu, Cataph, Lost2Insanity, Whysofurious, Xoudad, etc) the execute ui is disabled. If you notice the execute ui is enabled for a modded character, leave a comment and I’ll add that character to the blacklist.

In case you want to delete legendary lords or heroes I added a Mod Configuration Tool: Reborn option to disable the blacklist.

I changed the wording based on the faction culture, so that the good guys use retire/dimiss/discharge etc. You can have a look at and suggest tooltip text via the following document:
"Execute" (useless) Lords & Heroes[docs.google.com]
The way the tooltip text is accessed via loc entries should also make translation submods easier to create (since no changes to the script itself are needed).

I can’t revive characters you accidentally deleted! So make sure you select the right ones.

• Immortal characters can’t be disbanded, just replaced.
• Immortal characters can’t be renamed once they earn immortality

No known issues.

Save to remove: Yes
Save to add mid-campaign: Yes

Should be compatible with most mods out there.

Yes.
