📋 About This Mod
Revision history: 1. 0 - Added the ability to summon different zombies Modified Tome of Unlife to teach the player a very cheap Reanimate spell Moved the altar from a test cell to Benirus Manor Basement Fixed companion share Revised the stats of your undead companions to make them more balanced b0. 5 - Initial beta release ======= What does this mod do ? ==================== Ever dreamt of being a real Necromancer ? Having your own undead armies ? Now you can do that. This mods gives player the ability to permanetly summon and control up to 6 (changeable) undead minions of different variety. To summon a skeleton minion you must have: - 4 big bones - 4 small bones - 2 clavicles - 1 ribcage - 1 pelvis - 1 skull - 1 DB cuirass (optional) - 1 Blades Helmet (optional) - Reanimate spell (the one on Mannimarco\'s staff) - Summoning altar To summon a zombie minion you must have: - at least 6 pieces of mort flesh - 2 clavicles - 1 ribcage - 1 pelvis - 1 skull (optional) - Reanimate spell (the one on Mannimarco\'s staff) - Summoning altar There\'s also an ability so summon a very special easter egg zombie but I won\'t tell the receipe :p You can find the summoning altar in Benirus Manor Basement behind the Sealed portal. It initially has bones enough for summoning a simple skeleton. The gift from the previous owner :) After placing the items into the altar and casting Reanimate on it your minion will be summoned. He will start to wander around the room. For him to follow you, you need to activate him and choose \"Follow\" command. For him to stop following - choose \"Wait\" command. The type of summoned skeleton or zombie depends on the \"parts\" placed inside the altar: - bones only will give you a plain unarmored skeleton (the weakest among all) - bones and Blades Helmet will give you Undead Akaviri - bones and DB cuirass will give you Dark Guardian - bones, DB cuirass and Blades Helmet will give you Dark Akaviri Guardian (the strongest among all) - 8 pieces of mort flesh, a skull and other required bones will give you a zombie with both hands a a head (the strongest among all zombies) - 6 pieces of mort flesh, a skull and other required bones will give you a zombie with one hand and a head - 6 pieces of mort flesh, a skull and other required bones will give you a zombie with one hands a a head - 6 pieces of mort flesh, no skull and other required bones will give you a zombie with one hand and no head (the weakest among all) - a secret but easy to figure out amount of parts will give you a very special zombie which fits only as a pack animal. Your pretty own pack zombie :) Any additional items placed into the altar will be transfered to minions\'s inventory. You can give them weapons and shields that way because otherwise they will be unarmed (not appliable to zombies). ======== What does this mod NOT do ? =============== It does not allow you to summon undead of any oth
