Description:

Formerly known as "Dynamic Garrisons with Full Settlement Strength".

This mod makes every building provide garrison units, and thus guarantees a larger garrison in every settlement.

——————————————————————————-

Buildings provide garrisons universally. General rules are:

Garrisons provided in vanilla are unchanged:
1) Settlement, wall, garrison buildings and some landmarks keep their vanilla unit roster.

Buildings that don’t have garrisons in vanilla now all add some units:
2) Industrial, resource, growth, control and corruption buildings provide one low tier unit at level 1, and one more at each level above.
3) Military buildings provide 1-3 high tier units based on the building level, unit availability, and unit quality.
4) Landmark buildings provide 1-3 high tier units based on their level and purpose.
5) Hero recruitment buildings provide a hero with a useful active skill or two spells (alongside recruitable units).

With this mod, previously overwhelmed AI factions and races can hold on to their territory longer, giving the player a better chance to interact with them. And as a player, attacking settlements feels more challenging instead of just an auto-resolve spree in the late game. When defending settlements you will have a much better fighting chance owing to more units to maneuver on the battlefield.

——————————————————————————-

Notes:
Without a certain DLC you may not see the garrison units in your settlements that the DLC unlocks.

This mod is save compatible, but takes one turn to see the changes whether you toggle it on or off before you start the game.

Branching out from Iron’s Dynamic Garrisons a long time ago, this mod has been vastly different from its source in terms of unit numbers and qualities, and philosophy behind everything. Try both out if you are unsure about which one to choose.

This mod will probably have unexpected interactions with other mods that change garrisons, resulting in bloated garrisons, all the same unit etc. Please use your own discretion.

Feel free to report anything missing or inconsistent in the comments. I’ll try my best to get back to you.
