About this mod
A treeless and policy based approach for having female soldiers throughout Calradia.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
For those looking to have female soldiers in the game but could do without the hassle of micromanaging even more troops and the headaches brought about by corrupted saves. It works by changing the gender of soldiers only after they have spawned in battle (or in cities, conversations, arenas, etc.), which avoids having to add new units or unit trees.
These treeless troops (TTs for short) are entirely cosmetic and how much they appear in the game will change over time depending on the policies of the kingdoms. By default, all parties will already have a few percentage of women soldiers and if they become part of a kingdom which has enacted the"Charter of Liberties" "Citizenship" policy (Charter gone in v1.1), that percentage will grow over time to eventually cover around half of the troops.
The female troop coverage for new parties will depend on whether or not those parties belong to a kingdom and if that kingdom has enacted the aforementioned policy (and for how long). The percentage of TTs can also decrease over time if a party leaves the kingdom or if the policy is revoked.
Soldier tiers are not uniformly affected: in the beginning only the lower tiers will feature women in their ranks, but over time more experienced TTs will make it to the higher ranks. All these changes are gradual and configurable. See the settings section below if you want to tweak the default values into something more to your liking.
INSTALLATION
I recommend using Vortex since it handles everything automatically. If you install manually, take care to unblock the DLL file after downloading or it might crash the game. You can remove the mod at any time without issues, and if you later reinstall the female troop coverage you had will be restored.
SETTINGS
Open the file "TreelessFemaleTroops.dll.config" next to the DLL with a text editor and change the values of the different settings. More info below.
KNOWN ISSUES
The description text added to the kingdom policy is not localized and the troop names will sometimes not be suitable for female soldiers.

All the coverage options are made of two numbers: the first defines in percentage how many troops should be female, the second sets up to which tier of troops will be fully covered. Tiers above the value set will still be covered but less and less as the tier increases. The only requirement is that the values in NormalTroopCoverage always be lower than those of PolicyTroopCoverage, otherwise expect odd behavior.
DailyCoverageChange sets the rate at which the kingdom and individual party coverages expand or contract every ingame day, and follows the same format as above.
KingdomEffectPolicy defines the policy repurposed by the mod to also improve female troop coverage. The default is Citizenship (CharterOfLiberties no longer exists since v1.1.0). If you want to use another, you can change it here:

Cantons

CharterOfLiberties (gone as of v1.1.0)

FightingOccupations defines which occupations are considered to be soldiers. This is only used when the NPC character being modified does not belong to any party and can be one or more of the values below. Note that not all of these values are likely to be useful and that the mod will never modify hero characters (the player, companions, lords, etc) no matter which occupations are set.

And finally, the EnableDebugMessages setting does just that. Set it to "true" if you want some insight into the inner workings of the mod, though there aren't very many right now. Mostly it shows when agents are gender swapped and when settings are adjusted.
