This is a cool mod. I like to think that dagon didnt send in varlets because he wouldnt want to risk the invasion of cyrodil by sending in such incompetent forces. I imagine the varlets got stuck with the duties of equipment repairs and taking care of the various machinations of the invasion, and tending to the higher class dremora's needs
Would it make more sense to include this into the ESO Dremora Ranks mod? I mean, why have a standalone mod that adds a new rank of Dremora when you've already got one that adds several? Just add it to that mod and rename it to something like "expanded Dremora ranks". Also, maybe arm them with daggers, and maybe even give them robes instead of armour? Using a mace or a sword requires training and discipline, whereas the Varlets are supposedly the lowest caste (Churls are higher, and they're "untrained frontline meat").
I did consider robes over armor for all the Varlets (there is a Varlet mage who wears robes just like with the Churls), but even though Varlets are the lowest rank they still form part of the military rank-and-file. Gameplay-wise their armor is weaker than Churl armor, and while Churls have a chance of carrying an enchanted mace, Varlets only have access to the regular dremora maces which were already used by Churls and Caitiffs (which are weaker than Daedric maces btw). As for having Varlets have a chance of carrying a dagger, I hadn't thought of that but there would be the question of how it would affect the balance of the game. This was honestly just a mod that I'd made for myself a few months ago and decided to hand over to kvatchcount to release given the scope of their recent releases.
