TW3 port is up: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2866192052

Also any chance of a port of the mercenaries mod with changes so all factions could recruit them

Any chance Vampire counts can recruit the sartosa pirates in your port

thank u :)

Work has started on a port. Going to merge this with the Sartosa mod since they both basically do the same thing of adding/expanding mortals units to undead factions. As per modding tradition it'll be 'done when it's done' - HOPEFULLY a week or so assuming no major issues crop up.

lovely tbh im halting my vlad campaing in tw3 just for this mod lol but i can wait, enough other campaing to do it meanwhile

That sounds great

I've started a Valkia run so I might be drifting back into TW modding soon-ish.

Can I ask when the updating is likely to happen

Barring unforeseen catastrophe, I'll be moving/updating most of my WH2 mods to 3 sometime after ME is out and reasonably stable.

pls move this to wh3 <3 i love this mod

Does this add anything to the Vampire Coast?

@Karl Franz: These are the tables you'll want to look at:
1. land_units_table, factions_table, and building_table
- Look for id of a specific unit, faction, and building in said respected order
2. building_units_allowed_table
- Permit recruitment of a specific unit from a specific building
3. units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables
- Permit a faction to have to a specific unit
4. culture_to_battle_animation_table
- You need this to allow a race to have another race's unit battle animation. Keep in mind that race/culture is different from faction. All the race id is inside this table too so you don't have to look for race id or something from yet another table.

Unfortunately i can't really make much sense of doing any of the console commands. Also the units probably wouldn't benefit from any of the Vampire coast tech, So there isn't much point using them. I appreciate the suggestion nevertheless.

I'm not looking at changing anything in the mod myself but there's a console command mod that can be used to spawn in units directly to an army if that's something that might help? I can give you a list of the unit ID's if it's something you might use as a work-around.

I'd edit your sartosa mod to add the mortal units to the dreadfleet myself, But i'm dyslexic, So file editing has always been a real headache.

Could you make a version of this for Count Noctilus? In the lore he's a former sylvanian count, and he does make use of Mortal servants in the dreadfleet (he has an entire section of chaos dwarves in his fleet)

Maybe you could add some of those Sartosan mortal pirates to the dreadfleet assuming you control Sartosa.
As far as i know, It's only Luthor harkon and Cylostra who exclusively use undead.

@Crux2: Thanks for the details and the guide. Actually I already know how to edit the variant and yes you are right after removing capes on some unit the neck hole problem arises. So yep I put them back. Some, for example the guy with bretonnian peasant outfit seem ok but the Thrall guys definitely need the cape. If only there was a tool that let us have a preview of the model without having to load the game up.

There's a bunch of guides out there on how to get started with the TW mod tools like RPFM and while it might seem like a lot of hassle to get started it's really not that hard to do - especially if the changes you want to make are simple.

I would say however, if memory serves, the capes are there partly to cover up the fact some of the models don't fit well together. Take away the cape and you might be left with a gaping hole where a dudes upper chest/neck should be.

Multiple versions are off the table as it takes too much time to keep track and update them all, if/when I port my mods to WH3 some of them won't be making the jump for this exact reason.

But I'm happy to walk people through making the changes themselves as most of them are easy 10-minute jobs.

In this case just browse the various "variantmeshdefinition" files and delete the lines referencing capes, it'll look something like this:

<SLOT name="cape" >
<VARIANT_MESH model="VariantMeshes/wh_variantmodels/hu1/vmp/vmp_wight_king/cape/vmp_wight_king_cape_01.wsmodel" />
</SLOT>

It's all just text editing so highlight all that, delete, then save. Bingo, cape gone.

Umm perhaps this is just personal taste but is there any chance for a version with less cape? I see capes on like every unit. Hard to see an army of mere peasants wearing a luxury capes with fashionable fur and stuff. IMO cape should be for elite units or officers of each unit.

Anyway thanks a lot for your mod I know it's a lot of work to make a mod like this.

Hello ^^
I love this mod, vampires are my favorite faction and this mod gives a lot to them !
Does someone plan to do a SFo sub mod for this ? It would be amazing ! ^^
Thanks for this mod :)

SFO please :D

which "double units" mod is compatible with this one?

Uhhh, pass. Can't remember.

Do the new units still use their original voice lines or are they muted?

Yes. Changes them to spears/longbows and IIRC adds them to some vamp settlement garrisons.

So does this mod change mortal units gained from Von Carstein bloodline unlocked lords ?

can you make Skeleton Arches have 120 models like Tomb King Archers?

Mod updated for Silence & Fury - any issues please report with details.

great mod btw

right now new building chain seems only to be availible in drakenhof and cant be built elsewhere may be other mods but checking to see if thats intended

Never used SFO myself.

Found recruitment line, but is there a submod to balance unit stats for sfo?>

where is the mortal recruitment buidling line? in all buildings? also is this sfo compatible

It is something I'd like to learn how to do eventually but it would be a massive time-sink because it involves modding parts of the game that are outside my area of expertise.

I can help play-test it as you work on it if you would like.

I think a Hero that heals the living "Warlock of Life", Captain (buffs mortal Units). As for Lords, a General and Great Warlock of Life would work for the mortals. The chaos would have Cultist Sorcerer and then Cult Master.

Never made a brand-new hero/lord before. It's a whole lot of work and while I'd like to do it, it's not likely to happen "soon".

Or It can be a sub mod. So if people did not want Mortal Heroes and Lords they don't subscribe to it.

Can you add Mortal Heroes and Lords to this mod? I think it would be cool.

The undead units do but the mortal units don't IIRC.

Do general skills make the units stronger?

Do the units get buffs from red line tree?

Oh, thank goodness! The VCs feel so empty without your mod! I very much enjoy these units!

Updated for Twisted & Twilight, any issues let me know.

I'm not maintaining multiple mod versions anymore but it's super easy to change if you grab the RPFM tool, open the mod up, find the 'main' data table and then change the unit caps to -1. The caps are mostly there in case people are running this under AI control - limits the AI from spamming mortals.

This is REALLY good, but could you make a version that doesnt limit the mercenary units???

love the update, u just need a lord with teech tree to buff the units and is peeerfect
