Description:

Subscribe to this OR get it as part of my Reporting For Duty garrison mod!

Ever look at a military building and think "But who’s training the recruits?"
Have you wished defending spellcasters actually knew more than one spell?
Do you want more variety in enemy defenses?
Do you wish big settlements could have more than 20 units?
Wait no more!

Summoner Heroes is a way around the 20-unit garrison cap by awarding summoned units to the garrison hero from certain Tier 4 and Tier 5 buildings and landmarks. This way a settlement can functionally have more than 20 units! These abilities have been applied to all non-horde races.
There are also a couple summons that can be used anywhere. These are given to the army rather than the hero.

This mod took a stupid long time to make, and I expect a lot of you will choose to use it through Reporting For Duty. So if you think this feature is cool and that others would enjoy it, a thumbs-up is always welcome.

FAQ

Will the AI use the summons?
Yes.

Is it compatible with [X] overhaul?
Partially.
In order to prevent normal heroes from also getting the abilities, I had to clone the garrison hero units and replace them. These clones have Vanilla statlines, so if you use an overhaul with different statlines, be aware of that.

Is it compatible with other garrison mods? Garrison mods are usually incompatible with each other, right?
Yes, this works with any garrison mod that doesn’t try to change or remove the garrison hero.

Do I need DLC?
I actually don’t know. I do know that you will still see the summon feature for the DLC units in the building description, so if you don’t have DLC and your hero either does or doesn’t actually get the summon ability, please let me know!

I can confirm that Reporting For Duty Classic (which is Reporting For Duty without this mod inside it) does not need any DLC. Classic is also compatible with overhauls.

Why does the Vampire garrison hero have a male portrait and name?
I blame C.A.

Kislev?
Kislev.
