✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent download count (5,515) for a niche mod, so some folks are trying it.
- Up to 30 summons at once is a wild amount for chaos lovers.
- Taps into the mercenary fantasy without overhauling the whole game.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny endorsement count (5) suggests it's not widely loved or tested.
- Only one NPC (the Captain) and scrolls—might get repetitive fast.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter taverns or summoning systems.
For Skyrim players who want a quick way to summon a small army of mercenaries for battles or just to cause chaos. If you're into follower mods with deep story or custom AI, this isn't that. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or balanced additions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Look for the Mercenary Captain in taverns—he might not be in every one, so check a few.
- Since you can summon up to 30, be ready for performance hits on lower-end PCs.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep your load order clean.
