About this mod
As I found a lot of NPC lords having mostly recruits I've decided to make some variants using open source armory and addonays troop changer.
The recruits are inspired by their neighbouring countries and will have the option to continue in a vannila tree. (compatible with rbm troop tree)
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This mod adds new recruit variations making armies look more varied.
The troops are about the same strength as vannila troops and will follow the same upgrade paths with an option to split
you can expect 40% of AI recruits to be of the modded recruit type.
the mod can be added mid campaign but cannot be removed after any lord has recruited one of the troops.
