NOTE: This version is obsolete, use the Dawnguard edition

Yes, it's compatible with UFO, AFT, EFF... etc, <name your mod>. However, some functions and tweaks may be unavailable for squad members

This plugin allows you to have follower squads, provides balanced salary system and context dependent order mechanics. There are a lot of mods that simply increase the follower limit. The goal of this plugin is to create balanced, less chaotic combat experience with focus on preparation.

This mod is not about cheating. Actually, in the vanilla system the game is trying to protect your followers from dying with the "Protected" flag. Your followers will die very rarely, often because of the "poison" bug. The enemy will just let your mates to recover. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Followers

This mod doesn't protect your followers and doesn't try to trick the AI. They have the same chances as your enemies. Sure, they can die very easily. However, you can select the right tactics, use your troops wisely and avoid losses in fair battle. This will lead to more rewarding experience than what you have with the vanilla system.

Brief list of features:

  • Create squads from followers.
  • Use ONE single spell to give ALL types of orders. Precise control. No menus, no annoying pop-up windows. Starcraft style: select the unit -> select the destination.
  • Control your troops from the ground or from a Dragon.
  • Bind any shout to the squad and use it as a signal.
  • Pay salary.
  • Stealth orders. Followers can perform stealth kills.
  • Followers can ride any horse from the game, they can even steal horses.
  • Select the combat formation for each squad.
  • Write orders on paper.
