Area of Recruitment : Empire

Update: Fixed a few bugs and used Province Colouring - State Troop Unit Cards by Fauxe. You need to subscribe to the mod to have useful unit cards.

An AOR mod that allows you to recruit different colored state troops from different regions of the empire.


I based this AOR off crysnos' incredible modding framework that he has released and is available on the steam workshop now. As a result this mod is going to be perfectly compatible with a much larger variety of mods because it is using a pretty well established start_pos.esf mod.




What this mod does:

Adds the Area of recruitment system for empire factions in the game. Recruiting soldiers via the auxiliary barracks will give you access to different flavours of empire state troops based on their provinces. These soldiers are identical to your empire state troops and gain all the same buffs and benefits that vanilla empire infantry get.

How this mod works:

To recruit different state troops from a different location you need to build the "Auxiliary barracks" building chain. It is mutually exclusive with the regular barracks building chain, and allows you the ability to recruit differently coloured empire state troops. Building this building in your starting province is not recommended because
1) Your troops already start with your provincial colors.
2) I have disabled recruitment from auxiliary barracks in home provinces to make it idiotproof.

The screenshots that I have posted are a proof of concept of how it works in game. You cannot recruit Averland State Troops as averland, but have to make do with regular State troops that are still yellow and black in color.

What you need:

Go to this link

and install the mod. You need Crysnos' modding framework to make this mod run.

If you want to play as any other empire faction, use this mod.

It has the same modding framework, but with empire faction unlocks if you want to play as a particular empire faction.


Note: This mod doesn't change the startpos.esf, but is reliant upon another mod that does. You will have to start a new campaign with said mods enabled if you want the game to actually run.
