Extended Generals Skill Tree – Vanilla Only
This mod makes several adjustments to the general skill tree in the vanilla base game. The goal is to make generals more useful, either as commanders of your armies, stronger themselves as combat units or more beneficial to your clans development. You decide with the skill choice. I have also re-positioned the nodes to have 5 active per level and moved their skill sets around to better suit the players choice for what type of general they want. This means if you want your general to be stronger, you select the skills on the right side. If you want your army under your generals command to be stronger, you select the middle skill nodes. If you want to focus on clan benefits like research points, religion conversion or honour, you select the left side.
It may only appear to add just x3 additional skill nodes, these along with the vanilla nodes include x16 new custom skills as well as some unused vanilla skills. Most of their combat values will only go as high as 3. For example, +3 melee attack or defence for units. This is to avoid making generals too over powered.
Custom Skills Include…
Fatigue resistance (Good Stamina) buff to ashigaru, samurai and ninja/monk units.
Infantry melee, ranged and cavalry run speed bonus.
Naval ship hull strength bonus.
Combat stat bonus for specific unit types like ashigaru, cavalry, infantry specific, ninja/monk and samurai.
IMPORTANT NOTE…
This mod ONLY includes the general skill tree for vanilla with no agent data or any redundant data. There is also no skill points or experience levels data. This means you can combine this mod with other mods that edit general skill points per level gained. I decided this because everyone will want different skill points awarded per level. This way, you can just subscribe to a mod that offers the number of skill points you prefer and it will be compatible, as long as that mod only adjusts the skill points and not the skills themselves. The vanilla version of the game has a total of 60 skill points required to fill the tree entirely. My mod has 68 in total. Having 5 skill points per level will allow at least x1 point in every tree so I don’t recommend having less than 5.
