- Optinally use the following keyboard combinations you can recruit the following:
Ctrl+F1 - Militia Footmen

Ctrl+F4 - Archer Militia
Ctrl+F5 - Crossbow Militia - When trying to recruit in a region you do not own, it will pop up a message saying so.
- You can use Ctrl+F6 to select all your units at once
- Experimental: Use Ctrl+F7 to disband all units (may require multiple clicks), this will disband all units regardless whether they are in home region or not.
Compatibility
- Requires a new game, it can potentially work in an old savegame but may also break it (use at your own risk).
- Not aware of any other mod compatibility issues
