📋 About This Mod
Replaces female war party leaders with male commanders, while reassigning the women to administrative roles as settlement governors
And They Say Chivalry Is Dead
"Men to the battlefield, women to the throne room."
I will now only support this mod going forward as part of my CustomStartupOptions mod not this standalone mod
Overview
A roleplay mod that restructures AI clan military command by replacing female war party leaders with male commanders, while reassigning the women to administrative roles as settlement governors.
Features
-
[]Male Military Leadership - All AI war parties commanded by male heroes (except clan leaders)[/]
[]Female Administrators - Former commanders become governors, boosting settlement management[/]
[]Strategic Relocation - Heroes reassigned, not removed; clan strength maintained[/]
[]Player Clan Exempt - Your clan is completely unaffected by this mod[/]
[]One-Time Effect - Applies once at campaign start, no ongoing performance impact[/]
How It Works
After character creation, the mod automatically:
-
[]Scans all AI clans for war parties led by female heroes (excluding clan leaders)[/]
[]Finds available male clan members (alive, adult, not in a party)[/]
[]Swaps party leadership from female to male hero[/]
[]Relocates former female commander:
- Priority 1: Assign as governor to settlement without one
- Priority 2: Teleport to clan home settlement[/]
[]Party composition unchanged (same troops, different leader)[/]
Effects
Immediate:
-
[]AI war parties led by male commanders[/]
[]Female heroes become settlement governors or remain in settlements[/]

Strategic:

[]Different party behavior (new leader's tactics/skills apply)[/]
[]More settlements automatically have governors assigned[/]
[]Female heroes still contribute to clan strength through governance[/]

Roleplay:
