Description:
(Updated to 5.0)

This is a submod of Warband Upgrade Ultimate (required). It provides two extra functionality:

1. Allows player & AI to upgrade foreign units.

2. Cross-race upgrades, e.g., Norsca marauder to Chaos, Chaos Dwarf laborer to Greenskin units.

Which foreign units can be upgraded?

Applicable to foreign units in your army from allies / vassals / mercenary / caravan.

Because the UI panel forbids me to put >10 buttons on the right side, not all races can upgrade each other, but all lore-accurate pairs are included, such as among human races, between dwarf and human, between human and elf, among all three elfs, among all undead, chaos tide, ogre, etc.

Which cross-race upgrades are enabled?

1) Morathi can upgrade witch sister to Daemonette.
2) Norsca can upgrade its marauders to the Chaos version, then all the way to Chaos knights and champions.
3) Chaos Dwarf can upgrade its orc and goblin laborers to Greenskin orc and goblin units.
4) Ogre to plague ogre, for any ogre or nurgle factions.

To upgrade into another race, navigate to the corresponding race panel, e.g., to upgrade your Norsca marauder to Chaos marauder, click the unit, then click the undivided chaos panel (button to the right).

Side effects on Garrison:

For gate / fort garrison, it may consist of units from multiple races. For example, high elf’s phoenix gate can have a mix of high and dark elf units. This is not a bug, rather, an intended side-effect that I do not plan to fix.

Compatibility:

Currently incompatible with Radious Warband.

Compatible with all other mods (e.g., SFO) & save-game & co-op.

Not required, but mods work well together:
Warband RoR: adding this will allow cross-race upgrade into RoR.
Better Alliance: prevents forced alliance breaking, and make army skills benefit allied units.
Diplomacy options: allow all factions to vassalize, so you can reliably recruit units from vassal.
