This is a non-profit, fan-made series of submods (or mod mods) for Geheimnisnacht, an unofficial Warhammer Fantasy conversion mod for Crusader Kings II. The project is not a standalone mod, but seeks to add options for players. The project logo is the work of the excellent CMSteel (search for the artist on DeviantArt if you want to see the original). "Warhammer" is a trademark of Games Workshop and no challenge to their commercial rights is intended by this work.

The main Geheimnisnacht group recently split. One group, keeping the Geheimnisnacht name, are carrying on with the old, too ambitious map. The other group, calling their project Hexenstag, are building a more focused mod set in the Old World only. That's pretty much the Dawi Kiss premise, and the Hexenstag people reached out asking to join forces.
There was only one possible answer. Dawi Kiss as an independent project has come to an end, but its best ideas will live on in Hexenstag. You can see the first fruits of our collaboration in the newly-released Hexenstag 0.1.3. Some highlights:
- Just like in Dawi Kiss, the Chaos Dwarf Empire is united. But we've taken advantage of new scripting possibilities to add Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer mechanics and an electoral law to perpetuate their twisted rule. They also have the hobgoblin underlings they always needed!
Some of the new Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer mechanics aren't always entirely to their advantage
- An even better version of the Engineer's Guild awaits, along with a dark mirror - the Mad Inventors. Don't you want to carry out reckless experiments and unleash fiendish war machines on the doomed heads of your doomed enemies?
- The great cities that were teased here a while back have been implemented, along with special Dwarf Hold Great Works. Human Cities can go up to 8 levels with up to 27 upgrades - 3 of those due to interactions with the Engineers Guild - while the Dwarf Holds go up to 10 levels and 33 upgrades, if you've got the time and gold to build them! While there are plenty of Holds and Cities that represent the famous locations of the Old World, we've given you the freedom to build up your own favored settlement to be the greatest Hold or City in the world.
A peak at what Zhufbar has to offer, and just three of the many mining upgrades available to Dwarf Holds.
- Plus reworked building lines, Bull Centaurs, new mercenaries, a new holy order, Karak Vlag and its proud warrior-king, the Miracle of Miragliano, killer Tercios - nd, of course, there's been a lot of work on optimisation and bugfixing of legacy script so that your gameplay doesn't needlessly slow down. The war on lag never ends.

How are you supposed to invade Karak Dum as a nomad? There are almost no ways of getting ships to get there.
That is a question for the Geheimnisnacht devs. I think it's just meant to be hard! :o
(There are some workarounds and I'll look into them. If nothing else, recruiting Norscan sailors makes in-world sense.)
That's the thing: there are no Norscan ship mercenaries. I tried to circumvent it by vassalizing Norscans and giving them kingdoms, but it yielded 8-16 ships at most while it also was a pain in the *** due to rebellion risk.
OK. Geheimnisnacht had ship mercenaries for Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch, but not Chaos Undivided. I've set all of those fleets to be available to their original god OR undivided now. (Haven't tested it but I can't see any reason why this won't work. On the off-chance that it fails I'll implement an alternative in the next demo.)
How i install this mod
Ok i watch a video on youtube sorry for my ignorance.
No need for an apology - it's a valid question! It looks like you solved things on your own, but the next version will have install instructions in the readme.
The duels still have the same bs bug
Until this is looked into, I would recommend "rolling back" the combat system using the hotfixes here:
Forum.paradoxplaza.com
I would recommend installing the collection of hotfixes over your Geheimnisnacht folder as well, but definitely grab the separate duel engine reverse at the bottom. The old dueling is far less in depth, but at least it isn't stupidly broken.
How do you use the old duel system, though? Or any, now that we're at it? I'm fighting with a +5 PC character against -2 and less and barely winning. Had to save-scum a couple of times because my Everchosen character gets killed by a random character. Am I not supposed to just spam the "attack" option?
There are several issues with duels in Geheimnisnacht 1.2. The only one that's been addressed so far is setting duel stats. (In 1.2, characters aren't evaluated so everyone gets the same duel stats.) You should find that strong duelists die to one-handed craven weaklings far less frequently.
well i have 16 perso combat and lose to a injured orc that have 4 person combat, i give 5 to 1 damage and the he does 21 out of nowhere
OK. I haven't seen something like that happen, but looking at the (complicated!) Geheimnisnacht duel scripts I can see how it might occur. Can't promise a fix soon but it's something we'll look into. Thanks for reporting the problem!
