📋 About This Mod

Mixed Gender Troops

(formerly Female Troops)

Adds a female version of each combat troop, depending on the settings. It can be configured to only apply to certain types of units and certain occupations (i.e bandits, mercenary).

There are no known gameplay consequences of this, they still have the same equipment, recruitment cost, required exp, and level.

The options

Mixed Parties

By setting CreateMixedParties to true, the mod will create a female version of units. These units can only upgrade to other female units. Parties will contain these new units at a ratio specified by the Female Ratio setting.

By setting CreateMixedParties to false, the mod will alter units to make them female, instead of duplicating them.

Do Companions

Removed, see my other mod, Mixed Gender Companions

Lords, notables, and merchants

The mod has 3 options that target lords/notables/merchants. When enabled, these types of NPCs will be converted to women. This setting works in both Mixed Parties and In-Place modes. Not sure how this would affect a long-running game, lords might not be able to have children? Do NPCs die when they age a lot?

PS: Notables are the village leaders, the ones you get quests from, usually named "X of Y", i.e Mattis of Canterion.

PPS: Female ratio doesn't affect these units. If "Do Lords" is enabled, it will convert all lords.

Hide Helmets

By setting HideHelmet to true, all helmets will appear invisible. This has the side effect that their icon will be empty.

Installation

This mod can be added to an existing game. However, the effects of the mod won't be immediately apparent. After 1 day you will see female units to be recruited, but existing parties won't have female units immediately.

          Purpose: Fix a problem with bandit parties only being able to hold 3 types of units.

          This can cause unexpected parties to spawn. Since this mod potentially doubles the types of units in parties, fixing this is required to be as flexible as possible.
