Mounts and Equipment: Empire Captains (6.1.X)

Description
This mod adds 5 new mount options for Empire Captains. These have animations and unit setup designed to work automatically with the Empire Captains in my Extra Variants mod without the need for any submods.

First something more like traditional Total War bodyguards, the Captain becomes the officer of small but elite cavalry regiments of 16:

Captains Bodyguard (Halberd) unlocks at Level 6

Captains Bodyguard (Sword and Shield) unlocks at Level 7

An Imperial Demigryph unlocks at Level 15

An Imperial Griffon unlocks at Level 20 (The Griffon for the Captain is nerfed from the General's variant)

Finally, the mount option that was really why I started this little mod to begin with, at level 30 he can become an Imperial Standard Bearer. The Captain wields one of several of the Emperor's banners and is accompanied by a small color guard with their own more generic heraldry. The Standard Bearer has a passive buff to nearby units to solidify defensive positions and aid in a counter charge, and an active ability that can turn a melee fight at a critical moment.

Thanks to ZioCru for allowing use of his banner models and animation assets.

I will get around to the typical submods for this after wrapping up some other projects.

@Snek just a small detail I noticed. Some of the Standard Bearers' textures and body parts go invisible at times even at Ultra settings with no other mods running. Thank you for the mod

very cool mod. the Standard Bearer could be followed by some guys with a pistol maybe, some sort of bodyguards

Banner mount dont work at all i didnt even get him when i spend hero skill point, other mounts work properly, nice idea, elite cavarly with captain is best :D

Love the Idea for this, hopefully there will be a patch to make this work with Empire hero skill trees expanded (it kinda partially does already)

NO WAY, IS THAT A BANNER I SEE?

People are digging the standard bearer mount idea, and I've already done the hard part at figuring out how to build the unit in a way I'm really happy with, so yes, I'm going to expand that idea to other races where it fits.

@Mortarch of Blood I have actually had almost exactly that idea before for Warhammer 2! I imagined it as a submod to Mixus Legendary Lords, giving each empire province a Greatsword ROR which could be assigned a custom banner only available for Greatswords. I don't recall if Mixus LLs still has that banner for a Greatsword bodyguard, but I do already have an unused Greatsword reskin.

Oh Id love to see Elven versions of this!!! Guess
Ill have to go find some other bodyguard mods to make it all fit.

In Mark of Chaos, its said that Greatswords are the body guard unit to the elector count, so perhaps a custom unit for each of the elector counts as mounts? That would be effin' sweet but you're already a busy guy! xD

I can dream! Just like seeing a Vampire Counts version of this too! Or Mousillon, with dead bodies of knights as the banner instead >=D

THIS IS GLORIOUS. Please sir, may I have some for more factions?

Do you plan to do battle standard bearer heroes for other factions too? That would be awesome!
