Public Release of 1/5/2025
Change Log: 1/5/2025
1. Fixed missing Dialog problem on some NPC's. (If you have missing any missing dialog just asked NPC to follow. Designed to reset when clicking wait or follow.)
2. Made merc Armor for Orc, Elven, and Mythril unplayable, vanilla armor in game is still playable.
3. Blades, Imperial Watch, and Legion recruiters will not have dialog is your infamy is 1 or greater.
4. Blades, Imperial Watch, Legion, and Roland Jenseric will have no hire dialog if you are a vampire for obvious reasons.
5. It now costs 3 Vampire Dust instead of one to recruit a vampire hunter. (Unbalanced from too much dust)
6. Minor adjustments to some stats.
7. Fixed 2 voice dialogs for Vampire Dust and one Grammar mistake.
(NOTE)***Make sure when you pick which esp you wish to use that you do not rename it, or the voice dialog will disapear unless you change the voice folder name to match the changed esp.***

Change Log: 12/15/2024
1. Added Voice to All NPCs. DO NOT change name of esp or you will lose voice, as the folder is named after the ESP to work! I have 6 folders named after the provided ESPs.
2. Added Hoarfrost Lords Sword, Shield, and Cuirass to Lieutenant Shard. Use the Inventory spell provided.
3. New Sword Mesh added for Hoardfrost Lords Sword.
4. Added 50% chance of 1 Cure Vampirism Potion when recruiting Virtuous Blood Knights from Roland Jenseric. I suggest using the inventory spell right away to take the Potion as the NPC's seem to drink it in combat because of the health bonus.

Initial prices currently range from 100-600 gold, and daily wages are 1 gold. All mercs will be scaled +4 to +10 levels above your current level. All mercenaries can be ordered to stay put or follow, explore the immediate area, or go about their affairs at a location. Mercs should always engage hostile targets, so guards are actually useful as guards now, for your house/castle/whatever. There is no limit on how many mercs you can hire, as long as you have the gold.
Just copy the Date folder to your Oblivion Folder and make sure to activate the mod to use it.
Remember you GET what you PAY for, higher the price BETTER the units.
