Historical Accuracy – Generals and Units (General Cleo)
This mod should make the game more historically accurate by making no faction start with female generals, units, mercenaries or champions. Also no faction should be able to recruit female generals or units.
HISTORICAL CHARACTERS
Historical characters haven’t been moddified. Not even Cleopatra is edited in this version appart from her hair. On campaign map she will have hair and in battle she will have her golden helmet. However the mod does not allow any woman to become a general. This means that if you get a a historical character like Boudica, and you want to recruit her as general like she was, you will need to turn the mod off for, recruit her and then turn it on again.
– I also made Imperator Augustus have 12 turns per year, as the depicted period wasn’t centuries long, and the Important characters are immortal in game.
MERCENARIES
Every mercenary has a number which represents the maximum number of units one can hire. When I deleted a mercenary unit from a faction or a province I also increased this number for the staying mercenaries in the same ratio.
e.g. – I deleted Germanic Spearwomen (max number 2)
so I’ve edited Germanic Spear Brothers (max number 3) so you can now recruit 5 Spear Brothers.
SPECIAL UNITS CHANGES
– Some female units have been made garrison only, like in Shogun 2, as women often defended their settlements in dire circumstances. These are Cimbri Bow-women, Hex-Bearers and Lusitani Swordswomen. (for this feature you need the daughters of mars DLC)
– Also Gladiators have been made garrison only, as they never fought in real battles. All "garrisoned" units are available from the building they were originally recrutable from.
– Kushite Archers and Royal Kushite Archers have been edited, so that there are no women in the unit. Thus you and the AI can use them. (I also made a new custom Kushite Archers icon) All other female units have been deleted.
You need to start a new game for the mod to take effect. (I think)
The file is a bit big, so don’t be alarmed when the download takes longer than usual.
That’s absolutely fine. Just don’t download it then. Please take into account that I won’t support any arguments, thus all argument inciting comments and answers to them will be deleted. If you still feel like arguing, please read some history literature on teh matter, then you may still argue elsewhere.
Compatible with all mods that don’t change startpos, units or mercenaries tables. Incompatible with DEI.
Please, if you find out any bugs or functionality problems report them in the comment section. I will try looking into it.
– same mod, only Cleopatra starts as a politician
