Hello Lords of Calradia!

Asad Al Zeyaddi is the leader of the Zeyaddi Mercenaries, raised in the winding alleyways of a desert city, Asad's upbringing was marked by the harsh realities of life. Orphaned at a young age, he learned the arts of combat, stealth, and survival in the unforgiving desert. 

The Zeyaddi Mercenaries are a legendary and enigmatic mercenary company hailing from the vast deserts of desert waste. Founded centuries ago, they've earned a formidable reputation as skilled warriors, assassins, and protectors of desert caravans. Their origins are steeped in mystery, with many rumors and legends surrounding their founding, making them a topic of intrigue and respect among the inhabitants of the realm. They offer their services to a variety of clients, including city-states, merchant caravans, and wealthy individuals. They excel in tasks such as protecting trade routes from marauding bandits, eliminating threats to desert settlements, and carrying out covert missions or assassinations when necessary. Their abilities make them highly sought after, and their reputation is both a boon and a burden.

What is this mod?

• This mod adds Zeyaddi Mercenary faction to the game.
• This faction is from my novel Quintessence.
  

Main File*
Minor Faction only.
- Armory may not be balanced.

Optional File*
This file contains the items.xml for the MOD Open Source Armory (12 Oct 2023, v1.17)
1.) Download the Armory FIRST
2.) Download the Minor Faction SECOND
3.) OVERWRITE this folder on the ARMORY.
- This is to balance the armor.

Where to get the units?
- All units from the lowest tier to the highest can be recruited randomly in taverns(chance to spawn) according to their culture.
- You can check what culture they are by previewing the minor faction information in-game.
- The Units will spawn as guards for Caravans, Elite Caravans and Villager Parties, you can capture them.
- Another way is to fight the minor faction leaders and capture the units.
- You can use the console command and cheat yourself a unit.

Compatibility
- Generally this mod is compatible with most mods.
- This will not work on full conversion mods that have custom cultures, cities and taverns. These minor factions are using default cultures and will conflict with them spawning in taverns.
- This will not work with mods that has anything to do with recruitment.

Crashes
- High Chance that crafting will crash your game.
- If you are using the Optional File and you are encountering errors, please use the main file instead.
- If you still encounter errors, please remove other mods one by one until you find which one is in conflict, you can post it in the comment or REPORT A BUG so that we can update the information.

Additional Information
- You need to start a new game for the minor factions to spawn.
- To hire this faction into your kingdom, the initial leader must be killed, the remaining 3 will open up the conversation for hiring.
- Make sure to download the correct mod indicated by the date and version or else the units will be naked.
- Please know I am an enthusiast only, not a full programmer. Have fun!
- If the armory author request these minor factions removed, I will oblige.
