I suggested having a separate soldier for banner carriers for a banner mod, because it's causing balance issues when your high tier soldiers drop their shield for carrying the banner. Modder faced some exceptions while trying to implement the idea so I wanted to give it a go and see the issue. For that purpose, I created this in around one day or so ( meaning that don't expect something tested thoroughly ) Since it was working fine ( at least for my taste ) I said why not release it as a mod and here we are. Perhaps this can help future mods and future banner mods. I'm also releasing the source-code, you can use it anywhere you like. If you credit the source it would be appreciated but it's not a requirement.
I tried this only with version 1. 1. 0, my PC didn't blow up, so it should be fine to use. Still, it can crash in specific rare cases and/or because of other mod conflicts. It's not designated to be a sustainable mod but rather I just wanted to share it for non-tech players who want to check it out.
It's adding bannermen to the game. Although, unlike most of the banner mods, I wanted to give some functionality to their existence as well. Features goes as follow:
[]Banner Carriers are automatically created in battlefield if you turn off UseRealTroopSystem. This means, if it's turned off, you DON'T have to hire banner carriers ( well you can't hire them anyway ). But if you turn it on, you need to buy Banner carriers from Castles. This is same for AI too ( they automatically but them based on their formation count ) Whether you UseRealTroopSystem or not, when battle starts, your bannermen will be automatically assigned to formations ( and yes cavalry ones will get horse, they won't be on foot )[/]
[]Every banner carrier has a certain radius which effects the morale of the troops around. This check happens in every 5 seconds, and it's limited to a certain morale limit. ( Example, in every 5 seconds, it checks troops around the radius and boosts morale by +10 if troop morale is below 40 ) And all these can be changed via Config.json[/]
[]When banner carrier dies, soldiers within the same radius explained above will get a morale decrease and if it's too low, they will eventually start to route.[/]
[]When any of the banner carrier reaches the walls, you will get a message and this will immediately boost the morale of entire army to 100 once. This is one-time thing and won't happen again if the second carrier reaches to walls again.[/]
[*]Equipment/look of banner carries are depending on the leader party's Tier and culture. Meaning that, more prestigious lords will more heavy and noble-
