EK2 Undead Expanded

Description
Elder Kings 2 Submod - Undead Expanded
Ever wanted to march your vast Undead armies across Tamriel, leading known civilization into an Age of Darkness, but your small minded Vassals just keep trying to murder you? Well no more! Undead Expanded offers you the opportunity to create a new (better) Empire for everyone (you)!


What this Mod does


Currently this mod allows player Necromancers to turn any prisoner into a loyal Undead Thrall, this does the following:
  • Requires Journeyman Necromancer Perk to use
  • Turns the selected character into an Undead
  • Changes the character to look like a Lich
  • Increases their Opinion of you by 1000
  • Gives you a Strong Hook on them
  • Changes their Culture and/or Religion to yours, should you so choose
  • Strips them of their flesh, should you wish to
  • Recruits them to your Court
  • They will not plot against you
  • They are considered criminals and you may do with them as you please
  • Costs 40 Magicka to cast
  • Any valid execution reason will allow you to perform this action without repercussion, otherwise you may find yourself faced with a tyranny penalty

Does not work on other Undead.

Will work on Landed Characters.
Before they are turned they will be deposed and replaced by their heir, who will watch helplessly as their predecessor is reduced to a mindless slave.

Ascend Undead
Transform mindless Undead into powerful Liches with this fun party trick! (Diving into the Soul Cairn and retrieving their Soul).
  • Cost: 60 Magicka
  • Required Perks: Master Necromancy
  • Turns any Undead into a Lich
  • Grants you a Strong Hook for 100 Years
  • Grants you a 200 Opinion modifier (Decaying) for 100 Years

Grant Lichdom Blessing
A new interaction found in the magic section. Offer characters you have personal relations with or exert control over the opportunity to become an immortal Lich. Costs the same as becoming a Lich yourself. Their acceptance depends on a number of factors including:
  • Religious acceptance of Liches and their legal status
  • Your personal relation
  • Personality traits
  • Their health
You can see the exact modifiers both in game or in the files. For more info check the changelog. Please note that characters with a Lich Blessing retain their agency and will not become your obedient servants.

Shed Flesh
Any Lich Character may now shed their flesh and attain a beauty standard super models around the world will hate you for. Simply right click your own character and choose the "Shed Flesh" interaction to relieve yourself of muscle and fat.

Craft Flesh
Don't recognize yourself in the mirror anymore? Becoming a lich comes with some side effects that moisturizer alone can't fix. Fortunately, now there is a solution! Use the "Craft Flesh" interaction on an (un-)willing prisoner and banish maggots and mold from your reinvigorated body!

Steal Face
Tired of looking at the same face for 500+ years? What you should be doing is looking for a fresh new face at the top of your Evil Empire (and we're not talking about a change in leadership)! If you just don't feel comfortable in your own skin, the time has come to get comfortable in someone else's! Select from a wide range of ambitious vassals, unwanted bastards and unfortunate peasants and find the face that best fits you!

Major Restoration
Use the corpses of others merged with Black Magic to restore your crippled body's physical form to its truly terrifying potential once more.

Harvest Soul
Are your soul gems too easily depleted? Are rats and deer unable to sustain your truly megalomaniacal needs? Do you suffer from an overabundance of small minded enemies trying to keep you from unfolding your true potential? Well we have a solution that will solve all of your issues! With our new and improved Black Soul Gem technology you'll be executing your arcane rivals in an environmentally conscious and sustainable way in no time! Don't miss out on this special brand offer and secure your magic supremacy for but a token price!

Summon Thrall
Sick and tired of "suggesting" that your Thralls come to your court after they ran off to babysit a family member? Lost access to all your ancient Undead Knights after choosing to go start a business as an Independent Adventurer? Well its about time your Thralls realized that remote work wasn't part of their contract.
(Force Undead Thralls to join your court through a character interaction)

What's planned for the future?


Will not be adding the possibility to resurrect dead courtiers or family members as to my knowledge this does not align with gameplay functionalities.

Hey there Curious Beats! (fitting name)

The major difference stems from the fact that Unhallowed Earth is part of the EK2 base mod. As such its a ritual presented to everybody and is balanced to fit in with the rest of EK2.

When creating Undead Expanded my focus was not balancing, but to provide you with a range of functionalities to spice up and expand your experience as a Necromancer and Lich. I would consider these to be substantially more powerful than what much of the base mod provides (barring perhaps the ability to change cosmetically).

Naturally I want to allow you (and I) to play the games we want to play and so when using EKUE, please expect a mod tailored to individual freedom and not so much balance.

Thanks for inquiring!

hey there, great mod, thank you for all the work you've put into it, I've been enjoying it a lot the last few weeks.

Quick question/complaint, when reviving knights through unhallowed earth, my characters lose all their traits, including education and genetic, making it inferior to the 'create undead thrall' interaction. Assuming it's intentional, I'm curious -- why the difference?

Hey there Cerulean! Good catch! I did not know the scarred trait was something people particularly cared about. The Major Restoration option will now also remove the scarred trait so your undead overlord may look as dashing as ever. The update is currently going live.

Hello, great mod, however i have a minor complain/suggestion. My char is scarred and i become scarred after i become lich. Considering that you mod allow me to restore my flesh it makes no sence that i must stay scarred forever. So maybe implement scar removal service into craft flesh option?

Well I'm happy to hear you're no longer having issues at least. Enjoy creating the Undead Empire of your Dreams!

alright i think everything is working now about necromancy, since i managed to turn somebody into lich without problems, i did everything that was said yesterday, and im still playing on my modpack so i guess shit is now working. Thanks for help!

Could you try using only EK2 and EKUE and tell me if it works?
Agent 13 May @ 1:36pm 
i didn't do it on any specific characters, i tried it multiple times on random ones so maybe one will work, but it didn't. I can at most tell you what mod's i am using except EK2 and UE

Hey there Agent. It should have actually stated that the mod was for 1.15.0 in your mod launcher, not 1.14.2. This could mean you had an older version of EKUE, though I'm not entirely sure how that would be possible.

I have patched the mod to now be marked down as for 1.15.0.2. Effectively this doesn't change anything but it should remove the triangle in your mod launcher. Also as Μεσημερινή παχιά pointed out changing your game version to 1.15.0 in the beta screen should change it to 1.15.0.2. (I did initially get confused as well when rolling back my game.)

I've tried using the Interaction and it has been working fine on my version. Are there any particular characters you've been trying to convert or any other information you could give me to try and replicate the issue?
