Acheronian Sorcery | Mod for Conan Exiles | 1 | 5 | 1 | 10 | 7 | 4.7999999999999998223 | A good mod, well polished, etc however not satisfying for those looking for an army of minions. The timed minions ensure that you'll never have an army and that whatever minions you manage to make, after a lot of hard work, will crumble to dust after a very short period of time. You'd have to invest hours of crafting to get the higher level minions, only to have them expire in less than 2 minutes. |
Cataclysm | Mod for Grim Dawn | 8 | 10 | 10 | 10 | N/A | 9 | Adds the Voidcaller and Druid to the game as classes capable of minion summoning. These compliment the necromancer really nicely. |
Conjuration | Mod for Dragon Age: Origins | 6 | 8 | 10 | 8 | N/A | 8.4000000000000003552 | Very good minions that work like squad members. Overall a nice and satisfying minion experience with a good amount of balance. |
Conquest of Elysium 3 | Game | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 9.4000000000000003552 | For some reason I didn't score this game in my video, so I'm scoring it here now. The game offers fantastic minions on all fronts according to my scoring system. As long as you like the game itself, nothing bad can be said about the minions. My favorite classes are the Enchanter (creates golems and constructs), Witch (summons strange entities using fungi rituals), Warlock (uses gems to summon elementals - fire, earth, air, water) and Necromancer (raises the dead using corpses left over after battles, or at special sites like old battlefields and graveyards). But the game offers more, like a demon summoner, ritualist, etc. There's so many options. |
Dungeonmans | Game | 4 | 8 | 3 | 5 | N/A | 5 | A very fun roguelike, but not what I'm looking for in terms of minions. |
Elder Scrolls | Mod for Medieval 2 Total War | 10 | 9 | 10 | N/A | N/A | 7 | The mod loses some points for the lack of a Grand Campaign for the necromancer faction. All of the minions are permanent, so you don't have to worry about temporary summons and annoying stuff like that. This is a proper, capable army ready to kick the ass of the mages guild and whoever else dares to defy necromancy. It's a big shame about the lack of necromancy in the Grand Campaign, but you can still have fun with the Skirmish mode. |
Epic Necromancy | Mod for Oblivion | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9.8000000000000007105 | My video on this is old and didn't provide a score, so I scored it just then. Probably of the best necromancy mod for Oblivion and provides an absolutely superb experience. |
KeeperRL | Game | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 9.4000000000000003552 | It feels like a cross between Rimworld, Dungeonkeeper and a roguelike. The primary mode of play is that you choose to be a keeper and craft your own dungeon and fill it with minions. As you rise in power you'll begin to attract negative attention and have to repel invasions. Your minions are useful, plentiful and permanent. You can craft a dungeon and fill it full of minions and traps, craft equipment for your minions to use and defend against invaders, capture them as prisoners and torture them as well as so much more. |
Mass PRC Merger | Mod for Neverwinter Nights 2 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 7 | N/A | 7.5999999999999996447 | Spell Fixes and Improvements, Mass PRC Merger and Kaedrin's PRC Pack all do well to make NWN2's minion experience tollerable and perhaps even decent. |
Moriarcis - City of the Dead | Mod for Oblivion | 5 | 6 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 7.5 | A great choice for those wanting a good storyline and necrotic minions that can peacefully exist in society. It loses points for the low minion count (10 minions), for the rather lackluster minion strength and for the lack of cost-effectiveness with the minions (expensive to build, easy to lose). But this mod will make many people in Oblivion very happy and will provide high quality minions to more peaceful necromancers. |
Phantasy Calradia | Mod for Mount and Blade | 10 | 8 | 10 | 7 | N/A | 9.1999999999999992894 | This rating is for an older version of Phantasy Calradia (Phantasy Calradia 0.723-3973-0-723). The newer versions have apparently nerfed necromancy somewhat, so keep that in mind. If you can get your hands on the older versions though, it's a great experience. |
Robco Certified | Mod for Fallout New Vegas | 5 | 10 | 10 | N/A | 10 | 9 | It's a wonderful mod and it seems to blend so well into the Fallout New Vegas game that you almost wonder if it wasn't always a part of it to begin with. Three different types of minions on offer: Junkbots that you craft yourself from scrap, Cyborgs that you craft from scrap and living creatures, and Robots from the game itself like securitrons. |
Solid and Shade | Mod for Mount and Blade | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 8 | 9 | It's a very satisfying mod and you'll be commanding large armies of undead to conquer Calradia with. |
Spell Fixes and Improvements | Mod for Neverwinter Nights 2 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 7 | N/A | 7.5999999999999996447 | Spell Fixes and Improvements, Mass PRC Merger and Kaedrin's PRC Pack all do well to make NWN2's minion experience tollerable and perhaps even decent. |
The Goblin's Pets | Mod for Conan Exiles | 10 | 6 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 7.7999999999999998223 | There's no limit to how many of these skeletons you can have. They're also permanent and craftable. I couldn't figure out how to craft them and the ingredients for crafting them are pretty expensive, so you have to keep that in mind. They suffer from the same kind of dumb AI that thralls have, but are no worse than thralls. So all in all I'm pretty happy with these minions even if they're only useful as guards. |
Total War Warhammer | Game | 10 | 10 | 10 | N/A | N/A | 10 | The Total War Warhammer games are seriously good games for those seeking nice minions. If you like a grand strategy experience with powerful undead, these are great. |
