Mordheim: City of the Damned - Undead, all new content for Mordheim: City of the Damned is Now Available on Steam and is 15% off!*

This Warband adds the Undead, with 7 new unit types and a fully playable campaign featuring unique Dramatis Personae, Katherina von Dernsbach.
On the borders of the Empire, beneath the World's Edge Mountains lies the forsaken province of Sylvania. Long a place of mystery and sinister doings, Sylvania descended into horror during the Black Plague when the necromancer Vanhel raised legions of the dead. Since that time, Sylvania has been a haunted land steeped in the darkest magic. From the ancient castle of Drakenhof, Count Vlad von Carstein rules the county, but his ambition drives him to seek greater power. With the Empire consumed by civil strife, Vlad sees opportunity. The warbands he sends into Mordheim, the wyrdstone they gather for him, are but the first steps in the war the vampire lord will soon wage on his mortal neighbours.

Hello Everyone,

With Halloween just around the corner, there's no better time for releasing the 9th patch (v.1.4.4.1) for Mordheim: City of the Damned! The Undead Warband have completely overtaken this patch and are looking for brains!

The new Undead Warband DLC offers 7 new unique Warriors, 8 new original campaign missions, as well as new skills and spells. The patch also comes with various optimizations and updates.

• New Undead warband DLC available for purchase! Undeads will appear as enemies if not bought.
  
• Veterans can now start a Rank 5 warband: When starting a new warband, you will be prompted with a window that will offer the option between Rank 0 and Rank 5. Starting Rank 5 provides you with all the benefits unlocked at this Rank, such as being able to hire all types of Warriors for the warband or having more reserve slots unlocked. This doesn’t provide additional benefits such as extra gold or equipment. Note: This feature becomes available to new Warbands after reaching Veteran Rank 5 with a Warband.
  
• Accelerated Turns: A new option can be activated in the Gameplay section of the Options menu. It has 2 purposes:
  
  • Accelerate Player Turns by 15% (movement, animations, etc.)
    
  • Accelerate AI movement and athletic actions taken by 50% during AI turns
    
  • This is only valid while playing against the CPU (never against another Player)
    
• Veteran Skill “Re-spec”: Everyone will get a free “re-spec” for Veteran skills. This will remove every Veteran Skill learned and allow you to learn new ones.
  
  • Each warband starts with 1 Re-spec.
    
  • At the end of every year and before the next year start, on Witching Day, the warband will get a new Re-spec (i.e.: one additional Re-spec per game year.)
    
  • Re-spec allocation is retroactive to all warbands.
    
• Detection of Mission progress corruption: If a save is corrupted, it will reset the mission progress and send the warband back to hideout without consequences. This process takes place in the main menu.
  
• New option to turn tutorials off in the hideout. It is located in the "Gameplay" section of the Options menu.
  
• New layout when selecting "New warband" in the main menu.
  

• Hired Sword rotation: Adjusted to have a better balance between Leader, Hero, Henchman and Impressive Warriors. This ensures that, most of the time, there is at least one of each type available after a rotation. Will start to take effect on your next Hired Sword rotation.
  
• New Campaign Gold: Initial money has been increased to 500 gold (was 250 previously). This doesn’t take into account Veteran bonus.
  
• Witch Hunter Story mission 3: Reinforcements have been reduced for this mission.
  
• Leadership: Effects of each points of leadership has been reduced to 3% instead of 4% (bonus to All Alone, Fear & Terror resistance).
  
• All Alone: Base percentage to All Alone resistance has been increased to 30% (was 20%).
  
• Market Event – Sale: Price reduction when selling items to players will now only be of 25% (was 50%).
  
• Market Event – Profit opportunity: Price reduction when Players sell items to the store will now only be of 25% (was 50%).
  
• Updated all bounty icons to better reflect the item scavenged.
  
• Spell fix: Preventing spells requiring a specific enchantment on target to be cast on destructible items.
  
• Temple Mission Fix: The Holy Fountains in the Temple of Sigmar should now be more accessible during various campaign missions
  
• Fixed an issue showing traps to enemies on overview map, instead of decoys.
  
• Fixed an issue resulting in having a morale with a negative value.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing Warriors from getting an injury if their shipment failed.
  
• Fixed XP bars in hideout to be more accurate.
  
• Fixed missing sound issues with projectiles.
  
• Fixed an issue resulting in losing the armband when getting a mutation on the left arm.
  

• Resist Magic: the Regular version has been improved to +10% (was 5%) and the Mastery version to +20% (was 10%).
  
• Ignore Pain: cost of using this skill has been reduced to 2 SP (was 3 SP).
  
• Vengeance: Effects of this skill now lasts 2 Turns (was 1).
  
• Tzeentch's Warding: Effects have been increased to +15% for the Regular version (was 5%) and to +30% for the Mastery version (was 15%).
  
• Protection of Sigmar: Effects have been increased to +15% for the Regular version (was 5%) and to +30% for the Mastery version (was 15%).
  
• Absolute Faith: Effects have been increased to +15% for the Regular version (was 5%) and to +30% for the Mastery version (was 15%).

• Touch of Palsy: Cost has been changed to use Touch of Palsy to 2OP and 1 SP (was 3 OP) for both the Regular and Mastery version.
  

• Boon of Chaos: Duration of the effects increased to 2 Turns (was 1 turn).
