More Characters in Recruit Pools & Fast Refresh (Lords & Heroes Recruitment)
Hello there!
Playing a campaign with the High Elves or any other race with highly desired traits? Want to have a less terrible time waiting around fishing for said decent traits? This is the mod for you!
Note: There are a few mods similar to this on the workshop, but I couldn’t find one that met my specific desires + avoided some issues with numbers behind the scenes that seemingly broke existing systems. So here’s my crack at it:
- Vanilla/Default functionality: Character (Lords & Heroes) Recruitment Pools refresh every 10-15 turns and cap out at 2 in each recruit pool for new recruits.
- Modded functionality: Character (Lords & Heroes) Recruitment Pools now refresh every 2-3 turns (a 500% increase, or 1/5 the original duration) and cap out at 3 in each recruit pool for new recruits.
This mod should be relatively highly compatible and it can be enabled mid-campaign, HOWEVER you will need to give it a few turns to catch up.
I can make no promises for compatibility with other mods, as there are thousands to check, and only one of me. It works great even with 30+ disparate mods installed though! Any other mods that mess with Heroes in general can be suspect, so be careful.
Tested mainly during patch 5.1 (post-Thrones of Decay + Karanak) in the Immortal Empires Campaign.
