amazing mod guys i mean wow these images are truly epic haha.... is it even possible for say an army of zombies kills a human army but takes heavy casualties could some of the dead humans change to zombies after the battle as a way to replenish your zombie ranks?

yo Roma welcome to the forums and what you are asking is I think not possible, you have to basically modify the engine itself to do that ( illegal). Hope that helps.
for the Empire!

But after a battle you are given the choice of excecuting your enemy, releasing them, och ransom them? Shouldn't it be easy enough to turn those into your own army?
But then again, then they would have to be turned into zombies, and that could be more complicated.

Tue problem is that it wouuld take an enourmous amount of coding and plus as the undead I think they hate all life and would want to end it.

lol yea but still the undead need new zombies to munch on enemy armies xD

Well, what if each race, would, when conquered yield a special Zombie Unit for the conqueror?

Ie-
Zombie Orcs
Zombie Saurus
etcetera, etcetera. It would probably just be a reskin, after all

What?
I doubt it maybe as mercenaries like you can put a trigger whenever a faction is destroyed, you'd have to go to their capital and then you can recruit it. At extremely high prices.

Is there any way to implement a similar system to Heroes of Might and Magic Necropolis armies. Their Necromancy skill allowed them to raise a % of undead after a victorious battle. It also allowed you to pick what kind of undead you wanted to raise, depending on what you fought. This would help a lot with making the Undead grow and become larger than their enemies, as they should be.

Hmm, it might be possible to have perhaps units of undead appear in your capital as you win victories using a script, but it wouldn't be that good a feature, would be a lot of work and would require a script. I wouldn't count on it...

EDIT: This belongs in the suggestions thread, I'll split and move it.
