The Undying Lands - Undead Mod - To be ported? Vote now!

[Oktoberfest]

I have an idea.

If you are going to make a necromancer class,here,few ideas for that class.

1- Graveyard
Add some villages named graveyard and add few options for only necromancers like "Summon The Skeletons" or "Summon The Zombies" or just like "Summon Ghoul".

2- Good people could prevent that summoning stuff.
Add an item named "Flowers". If you have that flowers in your inventory,a good person could go to graveyard and give the flowers away and the dead ones could know they are still loved,so that could prevent the summoning and a message should say to the necro:
"The souls are in peace,fellow necromancer..None of the bones,meat and hearts answered your Dark Gift.."

(p.s. fix it,my english sucks bad)

3- Fighting in the graveyard

If a fighter goes to graveyard,he could fight with the undeads and gain experience,and get some items from the crypts.
You could add a building named "Crypt,which you able to enter.Fight undeads and vampires,heh.

Not a bad idea. Sounds pretty cool actually, and easily implemented. Good idea.

Edit: The flowers might be a bit excessive, because I don't think the necromancer's actually call back the body's spirit, just use the body. Regardless, they have no free will. You could replace the flowers with some kind of holy purifier that, once used on the graveyard, removes the taint of evil and protects it from dark spirits etc..

Very impressive. The modeling is incredibly high quality too.

Thanks Cheese is a polygod

wow i love how you guys did this mod so far.
it is bvery high quality, and the pics of the game are amazing.

cant wait for release!!!

p.s. the hords of zombies in the pics and the fog and stuff, is really realistic, like in movies.

GREAT JOB

Thanks you shouldn't be waiting long for the public alpha demo...

Tricked me! Your sig made me think you'd released something...

but watch this space

Yup yup and double yup

At this stage Necromancers will not be playable by the character, in the current story arch you can become a vampire or thrall later in the game. Perhaps in sandbox mode the player will be able to select to be a thrall from the get go (this is a feature which was actually removed for the sake of story consitency in the current builds, sorry about that)

Cheese had the idea of different village type parties from which you can raise different beasties a while back... this will probably be in the final sandbox release.

I'm not even sure that AI lords recruit that way... even if they do good people preventing the summoning is probably going to cause balancing issues...

Some ideas I had about this kind of thing...
A) if raided villages had a population drop and hence had less recruits available for a time and
B) if villages raided by the undead spawned a new party of refugees... who the player could guide to saftey or instead recruit into his party.
C) If undead lords could take prisoners and slaughter/raise them to swelll their ranks...

Hi one and all...

A public alpha demo (V0.17) has just been released.

Find it here https://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?cid=7&id=718

Battles in this Mod are intended to be huge - you must get the battle sizer mod and set the limit to 200 in order to get the most out of the Undying Lands.
Find it here http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,8058.0.html

Bare in mind this is a demo and an alpha at that. Pretty much everything is a placeholder at this stage

New games will launch into a story mode - devoid of map. You can if you wish break onto the map by saving your game and then reloading it - but this part of the game hasn't been modded much yet (still uses native map). You can continue the story by going to Zendar.

Quick games feature 5/6 set piece battles with and against the undead hordes - these will let you see the range of troops and style of combat likely to appear in the final version

Until I get upload rights on the M&B file repository I can't track download hits - so verbal feedback would be hugely appreciated

Im downloading the new version right now, and I say if you want people to experience the huge battles, Include an installed battler sizer with the mod.

Hmmm good idea, next time round I'll drop the exe into the  mod archive

 

[Nahkis]

Isn't much of a job to download it yourself, though.

 

[QuailLover]

What I meant was that when the person downloads the mod, they don't have to worry about downloading or installing it. It's all ready installed in the mod for them. Because there are always people like me who are too lazy to download battlesizer.


(Well not like me, I downloaded it, but still)

Would rather not do that, battlesizer changes core game files. Better if people do it themselves i reckon

Well my initial thoughts are thus:

Very well done. Though I was kind of annoyed of when you reach the city, the butcher's name was Armor, and whatnot.

I hope the sidequests give you money, so I can acquire better equipment before the village battles.

*EDIT* PLOT SPOILERS POSTED BELOW

 

[Justiciar]

Wow. Just.. bloody hell.. wow.

That, sir, is a work of art! You certainly know how to make people want more.

Oh, aye, and the Horse Dealer was damned hillarious.

 

[zacko36]

[BadabombadaBang]

Lol, no matter how I played that I couldn't win. Your men killed 50 of them? Christ...  Harder zombie next time around for sure

 

[QuailLover]

Just have it set, that there is a huge amount of zombies

Or if you can figure it out, have unlimited amount of zombies spawning.

Done and done. There are 150 zombies in that scene (abouts) plus 5 necros constantly spawning the bloody things... I might be able to keep adding through a reinforcments script though.... I can't believe people can survive that? Maybe I'll just make the player and his troops naked for the fight would fit the story.
