Description:

This mod allows you to convert all vanilla lords into heroes and all heroes into lords. These lords and heroes have different skills depending on what hero type they are.

How it Works:

Each vanila character that makes sense has a new button into lord/hero button in their character panel.

If the lord has an army they will re-spawn next to the army and you will be prompted to assign a new general.

Traits, ancillaries, items and character level will carry over.

Red and blue lord skill lines are swapped out for hero blue lines whilst the character is a hero and the opposite.

Restrictions:

You can always convert Legendary Lords(LL) into Legendary Heroes (LH), bu converting LH into LL requires you to have available army cap, like with tomb kings, and beastmen. You can only convert Generic Lords (GL) into Generic Heroes (GH) if you have the available cap for that hero, for example the "General of the Empire" to be converted into a hero you need capacity for "Empire Captains" since they share the type of champion. You can check what characters are what hero type by checking in the discussions .
For bretonia the vows will be converted from lord into hero but some of them can’t be completed has a lord or as hero.

Compatibility:

This mod datacores db/military_force_type_feature_junctions_tables to remove entries so that this mod works with horde factions. This change means that for hordes you can lose your lord and the horde not be immediately destroyed and be substitute by another.
It also overwrites a lot of entries if there are other mods that mess with the same entries this mod won’t work then.
If you use a mod that gives extra xp or levels then characters might lose progress when they get converted.

Incompatbility with "Daniel Not Poor (Normal Items for Daemon Prince)" mod
Incompatibility with "Resized Lords Heroes 3" mod

CROSS-RACE/ culture doesn’t work so if you want to play karl franz as a lord with tyrion as a hero in his army it won’t work probably.

Works with multiplayer.

Bugs:

Sister os twilight and the cathay alchemist hero require you to first turn on 2d portholes then select their skills then change the lord to a hero, do not click them, then save the game load that save and now you can use them as a hero and can turn the porthole back into 3d. the game crashes if you do not do these steps when you either look at their porthole or look at their character screen.

Just because a skill says "for agent in army" or "for general", etc that doesn’t mean that a skill doesn’t work, you need to actual verify if it works or not.
If you find a issue with skills not being in the correct place or not being able to command a hero to target something tell me and I will fix it.
