Execute (useless) Lords & Heroes

Description
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!

Why?
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
  • ...

How?
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.

Culture based tooltip text
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).

USE WITH CAUTION!
I can't revive characters you accidentally deleted! So make sure you select the right ones.

Known issues
  • Immortal characters can't be disbanded, just replaced.
  • Immortal characters can't be renamed once they earn immortality
No known issues.

Is this mod save-game compatible?
Save to remove: Yes
Save to add mid-campaign: Yes

Is it compatible with ... ?
Should be compatible with most mods out there.

Is this mod multiplayer compatible?
Yes.

Sorry by deleted I meant with the mod execute useless heroes. Probably should have said so.

Anyone know what is stopping Genevieve from Pierces - whysofurious' Legendary heroes from being deleted? I can make the changes if I just knew what it is. Other than the scrip making her available she appears to be the same as other heroes I have added.

With only this mod running, I get a crash to desktop when I end the turn after selecting a generic lord for execution. Can't seem to get it to work at all.

Are there any dependencies I'm missing?

Hello. Sorry for writing to another section of another mod. Weren't you going to make the Legendary Confederations mod for Total War: WARHAMMER III? Is it very useful in the game?Thanks

hello great mod, i would like to report a bug. when I had the recruit hero list open via a settlement and then went to execute a character I got a crash to desktop. wasn't doing anything else special. I dont run a ton of mods, mostly just stuff that could be considered 'vanilla+'

Hey, this mod doesn't seem to be working for me. I check the box but in the following turn theyre still there. Am I doing something wrong or something?
