A nation of plague-ridden zombies, ready to devour the world of Unciv

A zombie plague has broken out in the world of Unciv... and if you like, you can be the zombies! Devour and conquer the world with your tireless flesh-eating army!

There's a catch, though: the undead cannot build. They can only infect (and they're not so great at trading). Your only way to acquire new cities is to conquer them. Fortunately, you're pretty good at that.

About this mod: The Undead are designed to be very, very different from your average UnCiv civilization. They cannot build Settlers to settle new cities, they cannot generate Great Merchants to conduct trade missions, they're bad at culture and they're very bad at science. So what are they good at? Devouring. They build units quickly, they can sustain a large army cheaply, and they're never, ever unhappy. They roll forward without ever stopping to rest, devouring everything in their path. They are especially good at fighting cities and conquering city-states, and their short-range units heal when they kill. If you're in the mood for total war, the Undead are for you.

Be warned, though: individual zombies are weak! It's only in numbers that they are strong.

the-undead's Issues

Possible directions to improve

Just have some freaky ideas, I guess I'll put them here before actual modding.

1. Change policy points into DNA points. The Undead can only use them to evolve themselves instead of picking policies. Other civs will remain the same policy (Is it moddable???)
2. Make the Lich KIng attakable. It should be easy to mod with [+x]% strength <in xx era>, but may easily cause unbalance. However, It'll be fun if it is actually implemented
3. Add a special music?
4. Add a joke difficulty called Apocalypse to take the place of settler

I guess I'll have to go to sleep now, thanks for the invitation!

I cant find the undead country option

Hi sorry still new to this mod thing somehow i cant find the undead country i tried civ v gods and king mod or vanilla ones but it didn't show on either is there another mod i need to download or something i did wrong?

Unable to create Abyss

Great mod, loved it!
But I am unable to create Abyss using Necromancer. I have tried unimproved tiles owned and unowned, and improved tiles too. But it doesn't allow me to do it.

Also, don't know if it is intentional but the undead can receive normal Great People using Educated Elite(Patronage) Policy and vice versa is also possible(playing as Other civilization and getting Undead Great People using the policy).

Ticking Entity Crash [1.18.2]

Soon after creating a new world, the game crashes due to a ticking entity error. Something about a mob from this mod trying to access information from Epic Fight, which I don't have installed.
