Loggy's Longdead and Soulless reverse engineering notes
The chances to pull from the "national pool" varies depending on the creation method.
In remote summons (effect 27 rituals, Army of the Dead), the leader has a 50% chance and troops have a 10% chance.
In ritual spells that summon permanent creatures (effect 1 rituals, so Reanimation), they are always national longdead if available.
The chance of getting national longdead from priest reanimation depends on your nation:
- MA Ermor, Sceleria: 10%
- Niefelheim, Jotunheim, Utgard: 25%
- Hinnom, Ashdod: 50%
- Any other nation: 75%
Otherwise, there is a 10% chance to get nationals.
If you don't have nationals, just use fallback.
Longdead
Fallback (national roll failed)
You get one of 191-196, chosen randomly at equal weighting.
Jotunheim, Utgard
50% to use fallback. Otherwise, 50% for 2484, else 316.
Niefelheim
50% to use fallback, else 316.
EA Ermor, MA Ermor, Sceleria
50% to pick evenly between 186 and 187. Else pick evenly between 1657 and 1658.
MA Arcoscephale, MA Machaka, LA Arcoscephale
Equal chances to pick one of 2120-2122.
MA Ulm, MA Marignon, LA Marignon, LA Abysia
Equal chances to pick between 2123 and 2124.
LA Ulm
75% chance to use 2124. Otherwise use fallback.
EA Ulm
85% to pick between 3360 and 3361. Otherwise use 2123.
EA Vanheim, MA Vanheim, LA Midgard
25% to use 3361. Otherwise use fallback.
C'tis, any age
Equal chances to pick any of 615-619.
Nazca
Equal chances to pick 2701 or 2702.
Hinnom and Ashdod

MA Man
15% to use 2124, otherwise pretend you are Berytos.
Berytos
50% to pick between 2120 and 2121. Otherwise, 2451.
Soulless
Each soulless request depends on a few things:
- The nation creating soulless
- The province ID the soulless are being made in
- Chance for national soulless
- Chance for armed soulless
- The number of corpses to subtract
Sources and values for the above:
- Montag -3: 10% national, 100% armed
- Montag -15: 25% national, 50% armed
- "newunit" called with unit ID -1: 10% national, 100% armed, unknown if this is used
- Battlesummon, damage -3: 10% national, 100% armed
- Reanimator priests: 90% armed, national rate varies:
- If Jotunheim, 50% national
- If Utgard, 25% national
- Any other nation:
- Reanimator priest holy level is increased by 1 if (closed d5 - 1) < number of friendly candles in province
- National soulless rate = (reanimator priest's holy level * 8)% national
- Rituals, effect number 10001 [regular summon units in local province, like Reanimation]: 100% national, 90% armed
- Rituals, effect number 10037 [remote summon permanent units]:
- Units: 10% armed, 10% national
- Commander: 50% national, 90% armed
Process:
- If there is a province ID associated with this creation:
- Roll armed soulless chance, if successful proceed as making lightly armed soulless
- Otherwise, if civilian corpses < armed corpses:
- Proceed as if making lightly armed soulless.
- In EA, there's a 25% chance to upgrade to medium armed soulless
- In MA, there's a 50% chance to upgrade to medium armed, and if that succeeds there's a 25% chance (so a total 1/8) for heavily armed soulless
- In LA, there's a 75% chance to upgrade to medium, and if that succeeds there's a 50% chance (so a total 3/8) for heavily armed soulless
- If there wasn't a province ID, you always get unarmed soulless.
- If this attempt is subtracting corpses, do that now. Unarmed soulless subtract civilian corpses, any kind of armed subtract military corpses.
