Version 2.0.0 Updated 22/09/2024

TLDR;: The majority of Arkhan's roster are now the vanilla Tomb King units but still keeping with the flair of his unique unit cards. I've made extensive use of units_variants and unit_sets to enable to his own version of the Realm of Souls ability. New units, lords, visuals and building upgrade options. Submods will definately need to be updated due to unit key changes.

Still loving this mod (even if updates are abit slow <3)
Below, are suggestions for the Traitor-Liche's lord unique skill lines (ones where you can pick 1 of them to follow down that are mutualy exclusive), you dont have to take any of them if you're allready further in on this yourself, as im not sure just how actively you're working on this mod, apologies if the formating below is frustrating to read, im still quite newbie on formating on steam.



Traitor Liche (caster lord) Suggestions
-Lore of Vampires - Unlocked by book of nagash that gives acess to shadow-magic for Liche-priests.


Below are suggestions for mutualy-exclusive lord-lines.
>1st Line Option is sort of focused on a more Liche-General Archeotype that favors the slow-moving bony-units and making a tanky undead skeletal-horde.

Army of Darkness > Liche-Prince General > Fleshless Bones > Tireless Legions > (requires 3 of former and level 20 lord) > Army of the Dead

-Army of Darkness : The Dead Raise Again: +20% chance, +10 replenishment for lord's army, +10% hitpoints restored for dead-rising.
"Arise my legions and serve your master in death!"

-Liche-Prince General : +3 leadership aura, +40% leadership aura raidus, +6 atk/def, +30 armour, +125 armor-piercing damage for Lord, Removes ability, Arcane Conduit.
"This Liche Lord was once in days of yore before his betrayal of Nehekara a mighty-tomb prince, being the firstborn, and a background of nobility has allowed him some martial-training owed to family-resources, however this sense of entitlement did somewhat take a turn on his patience for harnessing the winds of magic."

-Fleshless Bones : Passive Ability: Fleshless Bones, +20% missile-resistance when not in melee-combat, +7 melee-defense
for Tomb-Guard, Graveguard, Skeleton-Warriors, Nehekara Warriors and Skeleton Archers.
"It is hard to pierce, or connect with an arrow into flesh, where your target has none."

-Tireless Legions : Restores 15% of movement for lord's army after winning a battle, +25% speed and perfect vigor for Tomb-Guard, Graveguard, Skeleton-Warriors, Nehekara Warriors and Skeleton Archers.
"The dead feel nothing, fear nothing, they dont eat and do not tire; we will march through, swamp, rain, snow or storm."

-Army of the Dead: Passive Ability for Lord: Master of the Dead, Ability to Replenish in Foreign-Terratory, Immunity to Attrition for Undead-Units in army, +30% battle healing cap for infantry units in army.
"Now i call upon my army of the dead! The graveborne; Arise my messengers of death, our time has arrived!"

------------------------------------

so focus on Souls-Artillery and magic.
Vengeful Dead > Grizzled Sacrifaces > Harvest of Souls > Reinvigorating Rituals > (requires 3 of former and level 20 lord) > Dread Liche

-Vengeful Dead : +1 Tomb Prince-Capacity, frenzy and +10% wardsave for Tomb-Princes in army.
"The dread-rites of this one seem to attract the spirits of the vengeful buried nobility, Tomb Princes that feel wronged and wronged in their eternal rest, returned to angrily wreck havoc upon the living."

-Grizzled Sacrifaces & Dark Grimoires : +20% spell-intensity for lord, Passive Ability: Blasphemous Tome, Bound Spell: Power of Darkness (60 sec cd)
"Do not interrupt my studies! Unless... you're volunteering?"

-Harvest of Souls : Passive Ability: Endless Drum for Screaming Skull-Catapults, +12 defense and Passive-Ability: Skullfeast for Casket of Souls lord's army and for lord when on said mount.
"By bone, soul and blood; my will be done!"

-Reinvigorating Rituals : Nehekara-Lore Passive Ability: The Restless Dead, +40% income from battles, +30% post battle-captives, Spell: Vanhel's Danse Macabre and Overcast version.
"Rites of Grizzly macabre fates await those whom find themselves the captive of this one in battle, they will quickly find themselves wishing they had perished in battle instead."

-Dread Liche: Greater Arcane Conduit, +10 Winds of Magic Reserve Capacity, +3 winds of magic power-reserve per turn, (effectively only
on Casket of souls) Ranged attacks have Discourage (-16) leadership contact effect.
"Second only to the Legendary Vampiric Necrarch Bloodline, in their mastery of dark-magics, the Dreaded Liche Priest's of Nagash are potent spellcasters, and invoke a sense of instinctual-dread associated with death more visualy-appearant than the former or their nehekaran loyalist-rivals."

I do supponse you could use the former for the Traitor King (melee-lord) instead, and the latter for the Traitor Liche aswell if you feel like 2 lines for a non-legendary lord is too much.

For the former, i always imagined them as having somesort of bound-spell from death or necromantic magic; probatly to play the equalivent to the Arcane-Vassal skill's Fireball, Gaze of Nagash i guess?

@Flipse I've implemented everything you've mentioned above for the caster lords. Fancy doing the same for the melee lords? Perhaps some more focus on the Vampire Count units?
