How to turn undead off?

[anderson0702]

I was playing the other day and realised there was about 500 undead chasing me, obviously i got owned.

 I was wondering how to turn it off? because it breaks the immersion a lot (just my opinion) and I also get owned a lot as a result of it :L

if you don't have enough troops to defeat them how do they manage to reach you to begin with, they're awfully slow

As far as I know, there isn't a quick, built-in way to turn them off. You could simply play on the easiest difficulty, because I think they're not a part of it then. Honestly, if you get an average or better army at your back, undead change from annoying and scary enemies that chase you into walking massacres that result in oodles of XP and gold for you... So either play at an easier difficulty or run like hell? I guess there's probably a mod-ey way of turning them off...

That's it. You have to be a bit careful when marching, but you can avoid bigger armies and beat weaker ones. Later you can relax a little bit, as Hallegra said. Recently I met about 360 undeads with my 200 men. I had not so good feelings in the beginning because of bad experience. I had realistic AI battle tactics on, so the undead did not chase me but preferred to remain in a defensive position. That was my luck. I slowly advanced them and took their arrows with my heavy infantry, than my handgonners and sharpshooters started to work. I got one wounded halbardier for me and 360 "dead" undead for them.

ok thanks,but my main concern was that it was sort of ruining the experience for me, and id rather them just not there.

But if you cant give me a way to turn them off thats fine. Thanks!

Don't know if this still works, but here it is anyways:

Should still work.  Gotta say, though, that if you're finding the Undead difficult and can't run away from them, you're really doing it wrong.  They're either something you run away from or they're yummy speedbumps that feed you gold and XP in 1.251. 

They, got a little bit more serious, if not terrifically fatal, in the next build.

Another way would be, if your speed is too low at the beginning, to cheat a little bit and give you or a companion more points in pathfinding.

I'm on the edge waiting for the terrible undead of the next build.

yeah borcha *i think* has good pathfinding, get him and power level his intel until pathfinding is at 5, then put him on the bottom of your unit stack and keep him, and other support companions, safe.

of course keep leveling his PF until its at 10

Then you move like 300 man rocket across the world

Why don't you just put the companions in your firing line as archers? Most of them have decent levels in one of the ranged masteries...

[Hallegra]

And god these threads get off-topic

[nilloc93]

Why don't you just put the companions in your firing line as archers? Most of them have decent levels in one of the ranged masteries...

because then they have a chance to be killed, i would rather not 1 companion gets KO'ed followed by an arbitrary number of my troops running away

companions in group #6, group #6 stands behind EVERYTHING unless i'm charging looters

[Just Someone Weird]

WTF is this... I see thousands of undead everywhere. They don't care about bandits. I thought this was supposed to be realistic and not fantasy... I would rather have elves and dwarves than undead.

[nilloc93]

Dear GOD people.
the undead are not THAT hard to kill.

while i am sad at the removal from the realistic front (and the addition of walkers) its part of the mod, if you want to complain don't hijack this guys thread

^ I approve, sir
