Description

This mod is part of the OvN Lost Factions mod series which adds new and interesting factions & races to the game and requires Mixu's Unlocker to work. These races are available to play in the Immortal Empires campaign and custom battles.

Tomb King Faction

Major Playable Factions
- Legion of Terror - Led by the Dread King, starting in the Pools of Despair
What's Included
- New Playable Faction 'Legion of Terror' - Like any new faction for an existing race you can expect new Legendary Lords, Mechanics, Units whilst using stuff from the existing race.
- Full Custom Roster - The faction has a fully custom roster with access to some vanilla units, the custom units draw from the tabletop and lore where possible. This not only includes units, but fully custom heroes, lords and legendary lords, all with unique visuals and using custom made models, assets and animations.
- Custom Mechanics
  - Necromancy - You can gain additional troops by defeating Human or Elven armies or killing certain monsterous units in battle. You can also gain troops through random dilemmas.
  - Follower of Nagash - As a follower of Nagash, the Dread King has a special interaction with him when using Legions of Nagash - Game 3 alongside this mod. You can get a special dilemma at turn 50, if the Legions of Nagashizzar are still present in your campaign. The Dread King is also available as a Mortarch lord for the Nagash faction.
F.A.Q. & Compatibility
Mod Won't Start/Missing Updates
There is a chance after the mod gets updated that steam will fail to download the update, possibly corrupting your version of the mod. If your game crashes on game start, you are missing something from a recent update or have some other issues try this;
1) Restart Steam - This can kick start the process of checking for mod updates
2) Unsubscribe and resubscribe to all the required mods - To properly unsub, unsub from the mod, start the game launcher, quit and resub. This will give you a fresh install of the mod and often fixes problems for people.
3) Use PropJoes WH3 Mod Manager

Is this mod lore accurate?
With many of these 'Lost Factions', there's little lore to go by, and what there is, is often outdated or extremely vague. We've used the video game Warhammer: Dark Omen and the tabletop game Warhammer Quest: Catacombs of Terror as sources for this mod. The Dread King, Hand of Nagash, Gunther Larenscheld, the Black Grail Knights and some other units are loreful. But in order to make the faction more interesting and different from Arkhan's Followers of Nagash, we went with a Hellenic theme for the faction. The theme is inspired by a loosely Hellenic looking skeleton in a Warhammer: Dark Omen cutscene. So any Greek looking units are invented by us, but still fit into the Warhammer world. The narrative for the Dread King is that he came from the Black Peninsula (Region around Myrmidens) and set out to conquer Nehekhara for the then fertile lands of the Mortis Delta. So you can imagine the faction to be some kind of Ptolemaic Egypt in the Warhammer setting. We think that fits as many races and things in the Warhammer world are inspired by real world counterparts.

Should no longer crash with the Audio Mixer enabled

Oh yeah they're thanks for the report but please try to be specific next time.
There are 3 mage heroes, plus one legendary. And Death hero one works fine, so it took some time narrowing down the cases if you just say mage hero (If you don't know, character with different lore is considered a different character in DB)

bug report :mage hero dont got got horse mount,that skill didnt work

Yes yes, Lore good, they made Dread King based on arch enemy in beautiful and wonderful older title from Warhammer called WArhammer Dark Omen. It was one of hardest games to play back in time but extremly fun i wish we could have it again on service like GOG.
