INSTRUCTIONS:
(1) Import the ERF into your module. Enable all overwrites which include: nw_ch_acb, x0_i0_henchman, x2_s0_persblde, nw_ch_summon9. You do not need to overwrite the henchman include if you do not wish to alter the number of henchmen allowed in your module.

(1a) If you do want to alter the number of henchmen in your module you will need to add "aa_mod_load" to your module's load event, and you should edit the max number of henchman in that file to meet your expectations.

(2) Add the hak to your module's custom content. The HAK contains all the 2das that this enhancement uses. More likely however you will be altering your module's existing HAKs and custom TLK associated with the project. I have included the relevant lines in the 2DAs you will need to edit as well as your TLK.

(3) Build the module, compiling scripts.
