📋 About This Mod

You can read stuff, but the following demonstration should save you a lot of time:

wC5mi-u0TtY

This is a re-release of my mod called "Mixed Unit Tactics" with a bunch of changes and the ability to control followers in the Vampire Lord form. This is NOT a beta, this is a finished product.

Since Morrowind I always thought that it's weird that the main Hero have all these resources (money, weapons, daedric artifacts) and none of them are actually working. There are few ways to spend money in TES. There is no point to carry all the game items you own, so they just collect dust at your houses. Yet, the player is still fighting alone. I think it will be more rational to put these resources in a good use and organize some kind of armed force from the people you trust.

Mixed Unit Tactics is not designed as a follower mod (followers are not supposed to accompany player all the time). Of course, you can use it this way, but there are plenty of other mods that allows you to do the same.

Instead, you command your troops all over the Skyrim, plan the assaults, send squads to guard places and do other things that fit the commander's playthrough.

The goal of this plugin is to create balanced, less chaotic combat experience with focus on preparation.

Mixed Unit Tactics is compatible with Everything.  It means, you can use with UFO, AFT of EFF.

The mod doesn't change anything in the vanilla followers system. The mechanics is designed from the scratch.  You recruit followers in a different way and you use them in a different way.

Known issues: Followers won't give commentaries like they do in the vanilla system (for the compatibility  purposes)

You can use EFF/MUT/AFT for immersion and MUT for tactics / large scale operations.

Vilja, Serana are not able to be part of the squad, because they have they own independent systems. Modded followers that are designed according to the regular system, can be recruited with MUT without any issues.

Skyrim 1. 9 is all you need.

SKSE Free (no, you don't need any script extension in order to run this mod) Dragonborn is supported (command your units from a Dragon), but NOT required. Dawnguard is supported (command your units from the Vampire Lord form), but NOT required.

MUT is not designed to operate single followers. It operates squads. Every squad has a leader that take all the main orders and a group of regular fighters that follow him.

There are multiple ways to define a squad, but the basic idea is the same:  Define a leader -&g
