*Important Notes*
Made to patch AncillaryCheat.pack works with saves that were using AncillaryCheat.pack.
Doesn’t work with old saves (without glitches) or other ancillary mods new game start suggested.
This mod was made to be used with expanded.pack
This mod was also tested while using the following mods:
expanded.pack,
100AgentAll.pack,
No_Unique_Building_Cap.pack,
BuildingMod.pack
3SkillPointsPerLevelAgents.pack,
general_extra_points.pack,
SameLongRange.pack.,
TechaNdTrees.pack
MoreHonor.pack,
TraitMod.pack,
This mod works stand alone, but was made for expanded. Expanded does affect certain effects and abilities, that is why I buffed looting and upkeep mods too supplement income. I believe this mod affects rots(rise of the samurai) because I think they still use the original retainers(I didn’t test rots). I didn’t do any changes too the fots(fall of the samurai) retainers for I don’t own the game and have no way too test them.
Movement Buff explained: Doesn’t work when you first get it. Only works after end turn, only affects units in the generals army at end turn, new units recruited into the town your general is stationed at won’t be affected til next end turn. Moving a general onto an army won’t give it the buff til next end turn.
The good news is that the units affected by the generals buff don’t have too stay in his army too keep it for that turn! So your general could charge up an army/navy and lesser general and send it on its way.
L.O.S buff explained: line of sight. added it to agents too watch the effect my mod had on A.I during testing, but kept it cause its a serious cheat advantage. It causes movement lag on the agent with it but is worth the lag. My Otomo ninja can see Kyoto from the home providence and if you get him near to Kyoto you can almost see all of japan.And that is with only one L.O.S retainer.
A.I : The A.I does its normal thing of stacking all its generals so most of the effects of my retainers are voided out by being under the leadership of a other General. All but the Melee class has Diplomacy buffs too mellow out the A.I the Diplomacy buff works both ways they like everyone more and everyone likes them more, makes trade and negotiations easier and lets you determine when you want to go too war, and on your terms.
