[BETA] Nuin's Forts Reinforce All Region Battles [STANDALONE]

*** NOT MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBLE ***

7th November 2023

• Was a chance for battles over forts to not be correctly identified, spawning a fort army. Fort armies now correctly do not spawn if you are fighting over a fort.
  
• Fort armies that were completely destroyed when reinforcing occasionally were not identified properly. Now identified properly. If a reinforcing fort army is completely destroyed, it is also destroyed in the fort (units deleted, not set to 1hp).
  
• Was a chance for battles relieving settlements to not be correctly identified, spawning a fort army. Fort armies now correctly do not spawn if you are relieving a settlement (fort already reinforces through game code).
  
• Improved detection of 1 unit army spawns, fixing a potential crash.

This mod allows you to have a single defending character who can cover an entire province, with some or no troops with him/her. Any battle they fight will be reinforced by the local fort. This lets you heavily reinforce regions with 10 units each, at 50% upkeep, rather than having to have many expensive armies. Damage done to fort units is transferred back to fort. If a fort unit is destroyed, it is set to 1hp in the fort so it can regenerate.

• Compatible with saves
  
• Will work with all mods (COMPLETELY SCRIPTED)

Part of Nuin's Overhauled Campaign:

This is stand-alone (don't use it together with my linked mod ^) if you only want the forts reinforcing part of it.

FULLY SCRIPTED
This mod is fully scripted, no database changes, and is therefore compatible with any other mod. This release has many hundreds of hours of testing from myself and others.

CA doesn't seem to have provided an easy method for forts to reinforce any battle in the region, therefore this mod had to be fully scripted. Every single character is tracked through every region they pass, and every single fort is logged with every unit kept.

This mod:

• Tracks characters moving through a region with a Fort
  
• Tracks any battle fought
  
• If a battle takes place in the region;
  
  • Spawns an army from the direction of the fort, with all fort units in it
    
  • Spawned army has the same experience levels as any unit in the fort
    
  • Any damage done to the reinforcing fort army is transferred back to the fort
    
  • Reinforcing units cannot be destroyed, they are set to 1hp if destroyed so they will regenerate in the fort
    
  • Reinforcing units do NOT gain experience. If you want more experienced units in your fort, put them in there.
    
  • Allows the player to opt into a fort reinforcing an allied battle in the region
    
  • Forts will not interfere between neutral/enemy battles in the region
    
  • Fort army despawns after battle

This is intended to expand on the GREAT idea of stationing troops in a region. Put a fort in any region, load it with troops, and you can have one roaming general in a province with no troops who can attack any enemy in any region within the province, and be reinforced from the local fort army.

Properly represents stationed troops in regions intercepting any attacking nation. Unfortunately lately CA has gone with a character focussed approach, where every army must be led by a general. Older games let you have roaming armies, which better allowed you to protect your regions. This game provides you the option to station troops in regions, but requires you to have a roaming army to do anything other than defend your settlements.

It works both ways. If you attack an enemy army in their region with a fort, that fort WILL reinforce the army. Be careful, and strategize (sometimes its a good idea to besiege and destroy the enemy fort first!)

As this mod is completely scripted with an entire built library of functions for reinforcing in regions, there is potential for crashes or forts not properly reinforcing/transferring damage/or spawning with proper experience. If this occurs, please let me know.
