📋 About This Mod
The ally chosen is the first one available in your party (top to bottom in your party screen) by defaut
There are settings in the file \bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\config.json that you can change with any text editor, set them to true/false to enable/disable them.
The settings are:
"onlyControlCompanions" - makes you only able to switch to companions - Disabled by default.
"controlRandomUnits" - makes the ally chosen random - Disabled by default.
"prioritizeCompanions" - makes you switch to companions first - Disabled by default.
"allyControlledTakesCommand" - makes you able to command your troops even after you switch - Enabled by default.
"onlyControlTroopsFromYourParty" - makes you only switch to units in your party, you won't switch to a unit from another lord's party - Disabled by default.
The game will show the wrong weapons that the ally you are controlling is using, but it fixes itself after you switch weapons.
Make sure to create a backup save because others bugs that I don't know of could occur.
If you want to choose the unit that you control you should check LargerThanLife's mod: Post Mortem Possession
