Ermor undead unholy blessing command

[Thilock_Dominus]

Greetings,


Is there a way to give a nation the special unholy blessing (unholy command etc.) ability which undead priests have in Ermor nation?


regards

No. That mechanic was removed for Dom3. Nations with unholy priests can reanimate, and there are nation modding commands for that. See the modding manual.

[Thilock_Dominus]

I know that undead priests can reanimate ;)
But it was the unholy spells that the priests have in ermor I was looking for. Is it possible to instead of #newnation to use #selectnation (select Ermor) to archieve this?

[Edi]

You need someone else to walk you through that one, as I am completely ignorant about spell modding and you would need to assign the existing holy spells that do what you want to the new nation. It is probably doable, but I have no idea how.

[Endoperez]

You can, if you use MA Ermor. Using LA Ermor would cause all kinds of trouble. ;)

You could also do something like this:
#newspell
#copyspell ermorSpell
#restricted toModNation
#end


Why do you need to give the Unholy Blessing to a nation?

[llamabeast]

Yeah, that should work nicely.

[Thilock_Dominus]

Thanks for the input guys, I really appriciate that :)
I'll take a look of your suggestins.

Why do you need to give the Unholy Blessing to a nation?

Maybe I mis-wrote my intention. I'm writting a mod that gives you a new nation of undead (so far 2000 of lines, history is built, 60% of sprites done), but I want to make my undead priests have same casting spells like the Ermor undead priest have.
So far I can make my undead priests to reanimate undead.

[Thilock_Dominus]

It worked!

Thread solved!

[llamabeast]

Can you show us some of the sprites? Sounds exciting!

[Thilock_Dominus]

Sure, quickly sample a little presentation;

Nice! This looks very cool. When can we look forward to a beta?

[Endoperez]

Those sprites look great!

[Thilock_Dominus]

Thanks.

I guess beta testing will be next month, depending that nothing else interupt the mod building :D

Also building a youtube trailer for this mod and writting a manual for the nation and its units.

Question; is it possible to remove a spell from a nation without other nations get involved?

If I do;

#selectspell 768
#clear
#restricted 90
#end

It will remove the spell, but then all nations looses this spell.
I noticed that Ermor: Ashen Empire only have unholy spells.


Another question: I think I found a bug. I have made a new nation (90) (era 2), but it seems that even if I restrict a new spell (divine spell) it pops up in Ermor: Broken Empire
Guess I have to report it.

You might be able to work around that bug by re-restricting the original ermor spell you're copying to ermor, after you've referenced it with your own spell.

So something like

#selectspell Ermorspell
#restricted ermorid
#end

Later in the mod file than your spell based on it. Might work.

If not, you can probably make the unholy spells that you're copying from scratch, rather thann copying them, using the more complex spell modding commands (I was never too hot with these, but the documentation is out there).
