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 Tei! I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues. I‘ve been running EK2 with Undead Expanded and several other mods since the most recent EK2 update without crashes. I‘m not familiar with Jam‘s cultures, however if these are the only 3 mods you use it is more likely than not responsible. You coule try disabling the mods one by one to see what causes your issues.

This might be causing big crashes for me. Im only using this with EK2 and Jam's cultures

Hey Maya! Converting people to Undead Thralls is in essence equal to executing them, which means that whether you will receive stress or not is based on the same factors as a normal execution. So forgiving characters may receive stress even when justified, while zealous characters may even lose stress by bending those of another faith to their will.

Hey I was wondering if there is a specifc personality trait that doesnt let me gain stress from converting people to undead thralls or is it based on something else ?

Hey there Sausage Payday! I understand the concern, but I've got good news, you can just keep using the current mod version. It runs perfectly fine with 16.2 as it is exactly the same mod version.

The update is merely so people won't get confused with the "outdated mod" warning message.

May I get the 16.2 Version for this mod please? My playset and game version is still in 16.2 including my EK2 mod. Thankyou in advance.

Hey there Freelyers! Thank you for your interest in my mod and your suggestions! I will be sure to check the odd interaction you have reported, though I am afraid it may take a few days until I will have time time to fix it.

Hello there!
I am very surprised to find that I loved this mod even more than I expected, so thanks a bunch for that.

Although it's an awesome experience, I believe there should be a parameter (either in the rules or in the coding itself) for "resistance to thralling" so to say ; what I mean is it could scale with magicka or target, as to not be ... well, as overpowered as I've encountered it to be haha

Oh and also, I'm not sure it's not an issue with my mods (I'll check my mod list and insert it in another comment in a day or so) but it seems that if I turn a ruler with which I am at war with into an undead thrall, since he is deposed, the game considers the war is still on for him only, and thus I cannot have normal interactions with said character. (I can give screenshots if clarification is needed, just lemme know which website to use)
If you've heard of this issue before? If not, well that's that... either way, I will continue using your mod :2017meatball:

Hey there Voodoo! Very happy to hear. If you want Undead to be able to take council positions you will have to Ascend them to Liches! This can be done by right clicking any Undead and using the interaction (though of course this will require some magicka on your part).

If your Undead Servants dare leave your court, you will have the option to summon them. To do this, simply right click them and choose "Summon Thrall", this will force them to abdicate any titles they may hold and return to their master (you) immediately.
