Vampire Counts and Eternal Life

[Grzywacz]

Hi!
I installed warhammer mod yesterday (warhammer 0.13 with patch 0.13e, it is the newest version?). I have been playing Vampire Counts for many many turns and i can't make my state religion to eternal life. My state religion is "no state" and i can't change it. Computer players reveal all religions except of Eternal Life. I must have got Eternal Life state religion to discover Necromancy, but I can't built any shrine, i don't know how to built a shrine. Can you help me how to do it?
PS: Sorry for my english...

Thanks in advance,
Marcin

At the moment the undead factions really aren't implemented at all. For the Vampire counts, the eternal life religion is currently blocked so there is no way to get necromancy.
There should be a new version coming out soon, but that still won't really include the undead factions.

Concentrate on some of the other factions for now; the Empire, Brettonnia, Wood Elf, High Elf, Dark Elf, Estalia and Tilea are all fairly playable.

ok thanks. So I will try to play wood elves.
I have another question. On this forum I found 2 warhammer mods for civ4_bts: warhammer0.13 and warhammer 1.4. What is a difference between them?

The current version is 1.4, which you can find in this thread.

Each successive version has many changes, bugfixes, new features and balance changes. It is always recommended to use the most recent version.

But the size of unpacked mod Warhammer 1.4 is 432 MB, and size of unpacked Warhammer 0.13 is 746MB. There seems to be lacking graphics and texts in Warhammer 1.4, that are present in Warhammer 0.13. Are you sure that I should use Warhammer 1.4??

Warhammer 0.13 ("Warhammer Fantasy Battles Version 0.13") I found in this thread:

The difference in size is sound files mostly. If you download both the main mod AND the music file, I think it comes to more than 432 meg.

The 1.4 file is definitely more updated than the 0.13 file.

yeh Version 1.4 is not including the sound track. untill i can find somewhere that will let me upload more than 700 MB (and that i can understand how it works) it will have to be in 2 downloads im afraid

speaking of which my top priority now my exams are over (YAY!) is fixing the Soundtrack link...


HOWEVER, if you plan on downloading version 1.4 in the next few days id advise putting it off for a few more days because 1.5 will be released very soon

I know this is old but figured I should post this incase anyone had the same issue, the Vampire Counts have probably the most interesting starting position in my opinion so they have my vote for next race to be developed!

Anyhow, I was cranking along, took half the empire, all of Kislev and the Orc meteorite town, only surpassed in score by the insane Lustrians who have basically unlimited land growth. Anyhow, was doing great, then realised I was screwed because I needed a religion but couldn't adopt one. I gave up and started again with another race.

Later on I realised this, and a lot of these kind of issues with this mod can easily be fixed with world builder!! Just give yourself necromancy and viola! You have skeleton soldiers which work great. Sadly stopping and starting killed my enthusiasm for that game so I started again anyway, but I hope that will help anyone playing the awesome Vamp counts which I heartily recommend with this fix!

Vampire counts are designed, we just have to implement them. And try to find some art
