Mercenary Units Mod - Archon Prophecy Update

描述
[Mod by Bagas/Coll1, I (Maal) simply uploaded it to the workshop in his stead]

Description

The Mercenary Mod adds several new multicultural units to populate your world with, these units will be only available to purchase thought the Rally of Lieges and the brand-new society trait, "Mercenary State".

Additionally, the mod has a new type of unit as a proof of concept, the "Contractor" type of unit are T3+ units that die in the start of the combat to flood the battlefield with chaff, making low tier units present even during the late game where a spot in your stacks turns very competitive.

Additional Notes

• From the non-standard nature of these new units, all feedback about your experience is appreciated, however i want to emphasize that this mod is a fun concept, and you will most surely encounter a bunch of quirks to it.

• Sometimes the units will die during spawn if there is not enough free terrain nearby, so be careful when bringing too many mercenaries (they may betray you).

• The Ai does not have a priority on these units, but they can be gifted on the free stacks they get (This make Vassals specially scary).

• You can potentially get Mercenaries on the game starting army, while it's unintended, it turned on to be kinda interesting, so i'm unsure if i should try to fix it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is a proof of concept to try and "break" the hard-coded 6 stack limits using non-standard ways to get free units during battle.

Part of the "I like BIG Battles" series, together with "Retinue Mod" and "Levies Mod".

Take a look at the other ones here:

Philosopher King IS granting units and Beloved, just in case it helps pinpoint causee of issues.

... Actually, it is looking like it is not granting units to train, either. It IS granting Berserkers Rage, however.

Stupid question, but for Northern Leader ambition, I see no Freeze the Land spell after majoring. Is that just Earthshape: Snow?

Minor-ish point, but the Chariot should receive the cavalry and larget target tags/classes. Also, not even counting the benefit of unlocking specific mercenaries, getting new ambitions for the leaders is VERY welcome!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to stop the game from giving me mercenaries as my starting units? Or at least reduce its preference towards it.

I had to keep recreating a new game for my High faction lbecause the game kept insisting on giving me Sorcerer Apprentices instead of a cultural Tier II Support or Battle Mage from Powerful Evokers (what I wanted was the Sun Priest).

New Update is live, thanks to Visie Mago the Chariot bug has been fixed.

Also, following suggestions and a personal wish of mine, the mod now will include a lot more Hero Ambitions to gain Mercenaries.

I believe this is a better wau tham creating a bunch of society traits, as this gives more emergent gameplay to discover new mercenaries, plus with the Faction Data, you can guarantee then using heros as well.

So here's a short description of the new Ambitions in this update and their reward:

Eradicator - Reaver Company
National Hero - Band of Iron
Occultist - Knowledge Passive (Future Occult or Vampire Mercenaries TBD)
Philosopher King - Sacred Band
Privateer - Pirates
Nomad Leader - Elephants + Sword Dancer
Northern Leader - Highlanders
Shadow Manipulator - Seduce (Future Occult or Vampire Mercenaries TBD)
Warmage - Council of Mages

Plus a few flavourfull ones, just because i felt like it:

Slayer - Feed on Chaos
Strategist - Cunning
Tyrant - Opress

Either way, thanks for all your hard work!

Have you thought at all about/would you ever consider adding society traits that only allow access to certain mercenary units? I really like the new units, but it would be awesome to only allow factions to have access to certain mercenary groups.
