📋 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.
