📋 About This Mod

Elisif: "Oh. Yes, of course you are right. Falk, tell Captain Aldis I said to assign a few extra soldiers to Dragon Bridge."

Great plan.   How about we give them a place to live, and time to sleep, eat and lolligag while we're at it?

- modifies an existing structure to add a guard barracks to Dragon Bridge

- Adds a small "lolligagging zone" outside the Four Shields Tavern

- Guards work in shifts, and have time to sleep, eat and relax

- Guard faction allegiance will switch if Dragon Bridge changes sides during the CW, same as vanilla

- as the PC levels, the guards will get minor upgrades to gloves, boots and weapons

- brings Dragon Bridge's total guard complement to four - the two (slightly tweaked) vanilla patrol routes, but two shift of guards

I don't think this is excessive, considering Elesif's decree to assign "a few extra", but if you think it is then don't use this!

Installation:

With a mod manger or manually, whichever you prefer.

Compatibility:

Only edits the NavMesh in cell -26, 19 (DragonBridgeExterior04)

Arthmoor's Dragon Bridge does not edit the NavMesh in that cell, and does not conflict.

JK's Skyrim is not compatible.

Merging Plugins:

If you're into it, this is a good candidate.
