Is there an "Undead Nation"

...playable? I didn't notice one besides a "Vampire-ish" one. I'm thinking about Zombie Hordes here. Maybe a modded race?

Thanks!

Did you play LA Ermor?

Edit: ninja'd

LA Ermor if you want to play late age
Tomb kings is a modded race from Warhammer, its in MA
MA Ermor priests can raise undead.

In ea not really but you can play Yomi for recruitable demons and to a lesser extent Lanka (their demon troops are capitol only) but their demon priests can also raise undead

Thanks for the answers gents. I wonder -- does the AI manage this race well (Ermor)? The tactics in the book look like it's rather rough even for a human player (therefore I must try it sometime heheh).

well, the only real *undead* nation in the game(without mods that is) is LA Ermor. however there are plenty of other death nations that eventually turn out to be pseudo undead nations themselves. nations such as C'tis(all ages, MA less than the others), LA Agartha, MA Ermor, Sauromatia, etc.

I think LA Ermor is considered one of the strongest nations for AI, because AI tactics consist almost entirely of throwing huge waves of chaff at you, and LA Ermor has LOTS of free chaff.

MA Ermor is also an undead nation, as it is usually played. All their mages can reanimate.

LA ULM is an undead forging nation. Still not as night of the living deadish as LA-Ermor

The AI seems fairly decent at LA Ermor. As a human player, SP games are very easy as LA Ermor assuming you last through year 2...the AI just can't counter you hoards of undead. Of course, you have to start with an awake pretender. Not doing so is a very bad idea (although I started with a sleeping pretender the first time I played it, and against Mighty AI...and I still won, lol).
