Most historians trace the skeleton war back to Dril, who once said<\/a>, \u201cif your grave doesnt say \u2018rest in peace\u2019 on it you are automatically drafted into the skeleton war\u201d. Now there\u2019s a Total War: Warhammer 3 mod that seems based on this very prophecy. It\u2019s called Necromancy, and it allows several factions in the strategy game\u2019s Immortal Empires campaign to recruit units they\u2019ve killed in battle into their armies as skeletons.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just regular human-shaped skeletons, mind you. Using the Necromancy mod, all undead factions can resurrect and recruit skeletons from elves, dwarves, or orcs, and there are even skeleton versions of carnosaurs, dragons, hydras, and giants.<\/p>\n

Modder All is Dust says the new recruitment mechanic works like this: when you kill a unit in battle, the bones of that unit are added to a resource pool. Then, in the Mortuary Cult, you can spend that pool of bones to resurrect the corresponding unit type \u2013 so dragon bones let you resurrect dragons, orc bones let you resurrect orcs. Once the units have been skeletonised in this way, you can recruit them into your armies from the Regiments of Renown pool.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to do all your bone collecting in battle, however \u2013 there\u2019s a new stance called \u2018dig for skeletons\u2019 included in the mod, and when your army enters this stance, you have a chance every turn of digging up some precious bones.<\/p>\n

All is Dust says they still have quite a few creatures yet to add to the mod \u2013 they still need to create models for gnoblars, boars, bears, saurians, bats, fimirs, skaven, and various other Warhammer denizens. But there\u2019s an impressive selection included already, and they\u2019re all more than happy to go to war (again) as a chittering host of skeletons.<\/p>\n
