Nevermind, it's just the link that's dead, there's a remake but it isn't updated to current yet

Really hoping this gets an updated version. The version below me doesn't exist anymore

NEHEKHARA RISES FROM THE SANDS.

Thanks a lot for the mod. It was a great addition and i hope someone can pick up on it. Take care.

Hi everyone,

thank you for your comments and cheers,

I am giving some news since I did not for a while now.

I am not updating the mod, I do not have the time to maintain it since I have other projects going on IRL.

Maintaining / debugging the mod is almost a full time job since as a modder you do not have access to developpers tools as you usally do when you are an employee. So debugging is much more time consuming and my several attempts were dead ends.

If anyone wants to update it or keep it alive, feel free to edit the sources (every thing should be in the files you download) and share your work with the community.

I only ask that if you do so, do not ask people for money and keep it entirely free for use or edition.

Mod still works but do not use it with CTB. Hope for an update. Maybe our undead overlord returns for the new patch when the devs drop the necromancy rework.

Also can cause broken units to appear, making the game stutter.

only thing not working for me is that the city names aren't displayed on the map :) otherwise lovely mod though early game in slow games its a real pain to get souls, can we maybe have a solution to this?

Not sure why I can't see their Culture Tome, it simply isn't there. is this a bug, or maybe a conflict with other mods, or just hasn't been updated? Hmm very strange.

Would be interested in trying this out if it was updated for E&A compatibility.

Any plans to update? Thanks for everything you do!

i am sure that AI arcane scribe uses this on ally units intentionally. there was a location in which arcfire typhoon didn't hit ally units. but AI arcane scribe hit all of them(4 ally units)

AI arcane scribe uses arcfire typhoon even if ally units in effect radius. one of AI arcane scribe used arcfire typhoon to one enemy and nearby 4 allies units. check AI behavior.

your units doesn't appear in encyclopedia.

Needs update

@Claymore Roomba Like I said it might be related to CTB mod if you are using since I had the same invis units problem. I turn off CTB and necromancer was back to visible. So without compatibility patch that's how it is.

Yo sup. Had a blast playing this mod recently, but it has a major problem - researchable units from the tomes, that use your race as a base for their models, are completely invisible. I was so hyped to have full skeletal necromancers or giant skelly warbreeds, but nah(

Agree with Scion, was looking for a new culture mods since we gonna have Reavers soon and almost skip this thinking its some cosmetics for heroes from first glance :D Anyway very cool looking units, nice design, playing undead from start, I rly love T3 with this pull. Also would be great for some comp patch with Culture Based Tome Units. Cheers!

There are two big bugs I'm wondering why nobody mentioned yet.

Rulers and Heroes are not made undead by this culture which is a big downside because they can't be buffed by the featured support units. There is no reason to pick support units over Arcane Scribes.

The other issue I had is that the culture tome is registered as being researched and you can pick T2 tome after researching only one T1 tome. I wouldn't mind that being a feature honestly. Would set the culture apart a bit more.

Also units are very gold dependant for a magic based culture. Gold and mana upkeep should be reversed and unit production cost should maybe be switched to mana.

All in all great mod tho. I love it and will keep using it despite the issues. Glory to Nehekara!

this mod causes the game to crash whenever a unit from it is selected in battle. this is the only mod i am running as well. do i need another mod to make this mod work?

This is a really cool mod, played a 205 turn game and it was really fun all the way through. Sure, the culture does play better in vanilla AOW4 rather than heavily modded games (which I prefer a lot) but that's nothing you can't fix with a few tome selections. Also, it didn't seem to bug much of the game for me even though I run about 65ish mods? Something like that, and I had no crashes or real issues whatsoever.

One time I had a game breaking bug was when I played with custom rulers where the game would hard crash at the end turn after the 10th turn with no fix I could find. But the other 3 times I played a game I had no issue and I do run 65 other mods too so, it really isn't this mods fault.

Great mod 100% recommend it, the faction plays really well. Don't be alarmed by the combat power rating of your armies, the game underestimates scribes and protectors by a crazy amount

Praise Setra!!!

Hi, just giving news :
I tried to fix two problems : the polearm for the tome skeletons and the stability immunity. I failed on the two issues, I will try again but it is time consuming and I can not promise a satisfying result :/

See this... THIS... this is something that could 100% be a DLC lol I love this idea my good sir or madam!

For some reason independent cities of this culture doesn't spawn armies -- the only unit they have is one hero (governor). Might be a mod conflict?

Player or AI-controlled civilizations work fine.

I would really love to see a Wizard King Skeleton Skin aswell. Then you could make your undying lich emperor! :)

Thank you all for your feedback, I ll try to fix the glitches but I have not much time at the moment so it will have to wait a little bit.

Noticed standard polearm undead skeletons...are missing their weapons...

Just started using this LOVE it, its nice to have a real undead faction

Wonderful mod, wasn't working through the paradox mod website but I downloaded via steam workshop and now get to be an undead overlord.

Very cool!

another thing i noticed: the culture (specifically the pyramid main building) doesnt actually give immunity towards the economic malus from city stability

Very cool!

little visual and balance patch uploaded

Rotating head

free cities seem to have the same issue (the guy has a normal head but a bony body, its quite hilarious acutally

Thank you !
It seems to me that Wizard King are not related to you Culture so I did not intend to somthing about them. May be in the future but not soon :)

Awesome mod:) though it seems the new cosmetic options only work for Champions. Is there a Wizard King option in the works?

Gnaw on your bones i shall if you make offer-barter i hate!

You are not HIM

Settra does not serve!!!!

Nehekara rises from the sands!

Changes for language done and I uploaded a fix for the undead legs after official patch

Hi, thank you for your feedback, all modders have trouble with localisation for now, may be it will be easier with the next patch.
I will reupload the mod without french files so it should fix it until the modding community find a way to deal with languages.

For some reason the Localisation for me is in French, despite not having the game set to French.

holy shit, all the yes.
