About this mod

Added minor faction troops as upgrades to Master Thugs and Armed Traders, respecting their culture. All minor factions are included! Besides this, the minor faction troops will start to spawn -rarely- in taverns and be Hireable as mercenaries.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
As of version 1.5.4 this mod is not confirmed working anymore

 If you want to use it with higher version of the game, i'm afraid it's broken. I would have to use harmony to use it with higher versions of the game and make it compatible with the changes in troop trees and stats etc, and I'm not working on it right now.
If I do an Update to this mod in the future I'll post it as a separate mod and post a Link here in the description, or if i Find a good enough replacement as well. Thanks for all the support, feel free to use or reference this mod anywhere, and if you use just let me know!

EDIT:  I have made a spiritual successor to this, click here to check it out!



New version 2.0.0 released, see changelog for more info.
Works with game version 1.4.1 (and possibly forward) as well as older versions of the game
Keep in mind that using this in older versions will change the stats of minor faction troops to the ones in 1.4.1 beta of the game, if you dont want stat changes, use the version 1.1.2 of the mod

Features:

-All Armed traders now upgrade to minor faction troops, as well as master Thugs. This covers all the minor factions in the game. You can now obtain their troops without having to go at war with them. (You can see all the troop tree in the images)

-Depending on the Armed Trader culture they upgrade to that respective culture minor faction (You can see all the troop tree in the images)

-Master Thugs upgrade to the 2 minor factions that are more Rogue-Like (Hidden Hand, Beni Zilal)

-Master Thugs used to have skills the same as Peasants (Not even recruits) despite being a tier 3 unit. I've Changed it so now it has skills equal to the tier 2 infantry (Only the Master were tweeked, the other thugs use the Peasants skills) and Reduced the Master Thugs' tier to tier 1 to allow them to upgrade (if their tier is higher than the target's tier, they are not allowed to upgrade)

-Armed Traders had no BOW skill and were tier 3 units, despite being poorly armed and having low skills. I changed them to tier 1 and they use skills the same as tier 2 skirmishers (It's a initial unit). The tier was changed so it makes sense for them to upgrade to other units and the game doesn't handle upgrades for units with lower tier, so the first tier must be below the next one, it doesn't affect gameplay

Compatibility:

This is just a XML file edit, should be compatible with any mod, as long as it doesn't edit the Thugs and Armed Traders
No harmony and no dll files
Work in all versions of the game

Installation:

Download with vortex OR copy the extracted folder into your Modules folder, inside the main folder of the game
Don't forget to activate it in the game launcher!
