Haha, yeah I figured. Oh well, I'll survive somehow. Thanks again man, you should be proud. This is a 10/10 mod.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 14. juni kl. 9:10 
Thank you! Probably not as they are recruited from the Landmark at Nagashizzar.
dhws 14. juni kl. 9:00 
Absolutely fantastic mod. One question tho: are the nagashizzar guard available in the vortex campaign? I cant find them lol
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 7. juni kl. 1:31 
Thank you!
One of the best TWW mods I've tried during these 10 years).

Awesome, I'd love to see the greenskins and him duke it out.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 16. sep. 2024 kl. 10:09 
Yeah, I can certainly take a look.
Brids17 15. sep. 2024 kl. 14:19 
Not sure if it's possible but is there any way to make the AI more aggressive? He survives better than vanilla but he doesn't conquer like you'd expect him to given how much more powerful he is now. I'd have expected him to be like the elves but for the old world but he kinda just sits there with the rest of the tomb kings.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 15. sep. 2024 kl. 8:20 
Most likely going to give this mod a little update over the next month or so. Anything I should take a look at?
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. okt. 2023 kl. 14:28 
Yeah, most likely :)
Brids17 22. okt. 2023 kl. 12:40 
Ah, I guess that's why I haven't come across them yet. Thanks. =)
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. okt. 2023 kl. 9:56 
I think you can get them from the raise dead mechanic but would need to check. Yeah, looking at the script, it seems they can be recruit from various places in Sylvania.
Brids17 22. okt. 2023 kl. 9:25 
How do you get grave guard? There's no building for them.
Aghoric Visions 4. okt. 2023 kl. 9:44 
NICE

From never achieving much, Arkhan is now consistently a huge threat. His lands are so immensely tainted that even my vampire coast was taking massive attrition. Pretty impressive.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 10. mar. 2023 kl. 1:07 
Thanks very much!

Stephen  [ophavsmand] 9. mar. 2023 kl. 5:34 
Yeah, that's not a problem at all, as long as you provide a link to this mod etc.
rewt-m 9. mar. 2023 kl. 4:34 
Hello, I am one of the users who enjoy your mod. But some users can't enjoy it because of language problems. I am Korean, so is it okay to translate your mod wh2 & wh3 ver into Korean and upload it?
The Lord Of Lmao 8. okt. 2022 kl. 21:04 
Arkhan is unplayable without this mod ;-) Thank you.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 24. aug. 2022 kl. 5:27 
WHIII version of the mod is now live: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2852724610

Released as a beta, but I'll be providing bug fixes and content updates as and when I can.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. aug. 2022 kl. 10:05 
Currently planning on releasing a beta version of the mod tomorrow when IE drops and I'm back home from work. Will fix bugs and add content gradually as I get to play with IE more.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 16. juli 2022 kl. 2:47 
@Big Sandwich I'm currently looking into something a little different for Arkhan when I port the mod to WH3, be it Tomb King Lords with a staff and a caster, but I'm not quite sure yet.
Big Sandwich 16. juli 2022 kl. 2:14 
Any chance of getting generic VC Necromancer Lords and Necromancers as Lords/Heroes?
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 25. juni 2022 kl. 9:08 
@spole Hey, thanks very much!
spole 25. juni 2022 kl. 7:00 
Just discovered this mod, really good stuff dude It's what I hope CA can hopefully try to emulate in the base game some day
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 24. maj 2022 kl. 8:53 
I've actually been working on stuff for WH3 and I've made a unique building chain that can split off from the main settlement like the Demons get. so that should eliminate duplicate units appearing in the raise dead pool.
Ninjeno 23. maj 2022 kl. 23:21 
In response to your earlier reply, great! Might I suggest removing vanilla unit cards from Arkhan's recruitment pool and just replacing them with the cool purple-background ones? Just tidies the recruitment menu y'know? And I wanna see those awesome custom unit cards you made! Honestly though great job with the mod so far :steamthumbsup:
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 23. maj 2022 kl. 22:12 
I could certainly have a look at adding something like that for WH3 once Immortal Empires Launches :)
headthief 23. maj 2022 kl. 15:15 
wow
its better than I thought
raise grave guard was so cool and lore
its what I called a true arkhan mod! like we r doing same thing in ET book!
but its kind of strange,arkhan himself dont got this skill to increase grave guard cap,neither the blood line vampire lord
well,maybe they r busy on something more important,I guess :p]
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 23. maj 2022 kl. 12:14 
@Headthief Once you've put points into the skills you can recruit them via the raise dead pool.
headthief 23. maj 2022 kl. 1:36 
thx for answers
but I still cant find them in normal city building tree,like Kemori
so grave guard become ROR or recruit in landmark?
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. maj 2022 kl. 22:51 
@Headthief Thanks very much! You can find Grave Guard locked behind Arkhan's Dynasty Lords. They have skills that increase the capacity for them. Nagashizzar will increase more Vampiric units if I remember rightly.
headthief 22. maj 2022 kl. 22:07 
played once,got a good time
glad to see u updat this mod , and nice new icon
and I got 2 questions
1 where was grave guard?I see the icon here,but I didn't find where to recruit them in game
2 the landmark------great hall of nazziar still increase the the vampire unit cap,right?I mean,every kind of vampire unit,or just some kind?
I still in 30 turn now,so I cant go that far to see the landmark
Kraker 1. maj 2022 kl. 11:16 
Also a Landmark build who give us limited Vampire Coast units in Awakened is much better than giving more units to Vampire Admiral
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 1. maj 2022 kl. 8:33 
@Kraker I can take a look.
Kraker 30. apr. 2022 kl. 3:01 
Can you update more units to Vampire Admiral ?
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 30. apr. 2022 kl. 1:06 
@Ninjeno Hey thanks! I've always wanted to give Arkhan his own version of the vanilla TK units. Now the WH3 roadmap is out, I'm most likely going to have a look at another update for this mod with some new changes in mind.
Ninjeno 28. apr. 2022 kl. 17:05 
Heya! Love this mod, Arkhan was in serious need of some sort of extra juice. Just wondering though, why reskin the skeleton infantry and catapults but then leave, for example, the default skinned catapults in the chariot building? Like I want chariots, but If I build it to tier 3 will it introduce a unit cap for reskin AND default catapults separately? Idk I just don't want an even more cluttered recruitment bar y'know.
Kraker 25. apr. 2022 kl. 11:37 
Oops wrong mod but still thanks for looking to problem 👍
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 25. apr. 2022 kl. 11:25 
@Kraker Certainly. I'll have a look when I get a spare sec.
Kraker 25. apr. 2022 kl. 3:14 
Can you add TK extended lord and Hero skills to your tainted Lords and priests. For example tainted liche priest don't have his flamethrower ability and Tomb barque mounts
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 2. apr. 2022 kl. 4:45 
I'll see what I can do about about though :D
A Spanner Barb 1. apr. 2022 kl. 10:49 
Thanks for the reply!
The climate system can be rough at times, haha
I'm still surprised the changes effected Khemri when I don't have your broader TK mod installed - is there a way to make it so they only effect the Followers of Nagash? It's not a huge problem for me now because my Khemri campaign is in the late game now, I was just surprised by all the sudden yellow triangles on my settlements, haha
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 1. apr. 2022 kl. 10:02 
@A Spanner Barb Thanks!

I always found the climate system a little restricting, especially for the Undead, so I added in that preference so they had more areas to expand into.

I made some adjustments to unit recruitment to overcome duplicate units, but the downside is that the vanilla TK Skeleton Warriors and Spearmen can't be recruited from the main settlement chain. (In WH3 I have corrected this)
A Spanner Barb 1. apr. 2022 kl. 7:31 
Excited to try this out! Noticed a couple of things that I wanted to query first, though.

I noticed it makes temperate climate suitable for TKs (even in my current Khemri campaign) - I guess my worry with that is that it might remove some challenge, so I'd be interested to hear why that change was made.

I also noticed that (in the same campaign) Skeleton Warriors/Spearmen could no longer be recruited from the settlement building alone, and instead either required a wall building or the infantry recruitment building. I don't think it's from another mod because this is the only one I've installed that influences the TKs directly. I've tried checking discussions, change notes, etc., but either I'm missing something (I'm new TW mods) or I can't find where it says that's part of the mod.

Does anyone know what I might have missed? I suppose I'm mostly surprised that an Arkhan-specific mod would have influenced the other TK factions, but that's probably on me lol
Echo 22. mar. 2022 kl. 3:59 
He does, but most of his dynasty lords (and if you use the confederacy mod, the other LLs) don't. Even Arkhan's red skills are not quite perfect (for instance, the one that improves ushabti doesn't improve hierotitans, while normal lords' skill does).
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. mar. 2022 kl. 3:37 
@Echo vanilla unit groupings have not been added to Arkhan's units as he gets different red skills for them. However, if you'd like to throw the packfile this way I'd gladly have a look and get and update pushed out. Would appreciate that.
Echo 22. mar. 2022 kl. 3:27 
There were a number of (purple) units that were missing their vanilla unit groups, and thus not benefiting from the red skill trees and tech upgrades.
Also, some settlements (like Khemri, Tower of Arkhan etc) are missing building chains (Vampire Beasts and the defensive one respectively).
Finally, for the upgrades sub-mod, quite a few units missing the upgrades (mostly purple units: ushabti, tomb guard, catapults, zombie dragons etc).

Like I mentioned in the other thread, I fixed most of these on my local copy, if you're interested.
Stephen  [ophavsmand] 22. mar. 2022 kl. 1:39 
Any notable bugs that anyone would like fixed while I have some free time?
