Description:

"Settle down men! We are soldiers of the empire, not an unruly rabble of norsican savages!"

Purpose:
The standard animation for state troops was too rowdy for my tastes. This mod changes the selected animations (melee) or spacing (ranged) for all state troops and their assoiciated RoR’s to a more disciplined option. Now they still move slightly/feel alive, but no longer break formation to jeer!

Animation changes:
-Spearmen
-Spearmen (Shields)
-Eldred’s Guard
-Swordsmen
-Swords of Ulric
-Sigmar’s Sons
-Halbardiers
-Nordland Mariners
-Greatswords
-Carroburg Greatswords

Spacing changes:
-Crossbowmen
-Stir River Patrol
-Handgunners
-Gunderson’s Surefires
-Silver Bullets

Misc:
This mod is pretty simple (and represents my first foray into modding), but let me know if anything is buggy or weird.

Confirmed Compatibility:
-Reloading Mod
-Brutal Battles 2
-No More Stupid Animations
-Formations

Submods:
-Battle Standard Bearers – Disciplined State Troops Submod (Makes the two compatible)

Known Issues:
-"Klaus is acting a little strange…" (I only noticed this about a week after releasing the mod. If you look very closely at an individual melee combat for awhile, you might see a state trooper make a weird motion with their head that belies which unit animation set I used for the melee troops to make this mod work; tomb guard. Unfortunately there’s no real way to fix this without making an entirely different kind of mod, but it seems to be a pretty rare animation and isn’t very noticeable in the first place).
