This mod features a new kind of playstile. When you start a new game, you will have 30 new lord clan members with capped combat stats and a very good equip. You will just need to gather them in your party, and you will be ready to start your adventure - no troop needed! During the game, you will also be able to recruit the powerful companions from Ordo Solis in order to further boost you combat power! After two hundred hours in this game i really dind't have any joy in starting over grinding basic troops, i just wanted to kick in and fight. Well, now you can! Any of them is able to stand against 10 opponents in realistic difficulty (well… so far - I played just a couple of hours), so you should be able to fight even the most difficult battles. Or you can strip them by any item and just grind items instead of troops… A good use for smithing, i guess. Also, best used with this mod, mostly because your heroes will be able to cleave. 

Obviously, that's just how i decided to play my game - no troops, lots of heroes, strong base for the party and room for improvement. But you can also use them to have a ridiculous amount of clan parties, or to… well, to make anything a minor lord can do. Or you can let them use  the crazy weapons from Carnifex :D must be very fun with the oversized swords! They have generic names because they are intended to be legendary troops, but there are plenty of mod to rename them, and you are probably yet using them. 

The new clanmates are not companions, so they will not mess with your companion limit. They are rather part of your family (a not-better-specified part. Think about them as your Familia, like it used to be in the middle age Europe, a group of close friends). They are in line with the esoteric flavor of my other mod, so they are inspired by a hypothetical esoteric-knightly order. They will also rise your clan level at 4 at the start of the game.


As for now the mod requires my other mod, because i used several items from there, and also the new companions are there. But if you don't want my troops, you can avoid to download ATC (see the mod page) and my new troops won't show up at all. There is also a standalone version in the optional files (doesn't require anything else, even the main file). But standalone doesn't include new companions, just clanmates.


Anyway, as always, have fun and enjoy!


Remember to update Ordo Solis!


Require a new game - will break your save if uninstalled - unrealistic - very likely unbalanced, but i did my best to find a middle ground between power fantasy and challenge.
