The new Ataman function could definitely enhance this mod in terms of ease of use. The current double click is kind of a plaster fix and like UPD8 said, spawning the army with 0 movement is not very useful.

@autumnchain Yeah, I'm even ok with the garrison needing some form of commander to balance it a bit but you can see how they take mods and make them basic features. I would actually like to be able to make any lord of hero an "ataman" for a province or at least give lords garrisoning a settlement with an army able to sally out.

Would be nice if the garrison force didn't start out with 0 movement points
They're only used in emergency situations which means waiting for them to move until next turn will be too late

I hope this will be adjusted to give all garrisons the Ataman's ability to have garrisons attack nearby armies.

Seems like with upcoming patch 6.1 this will be somehow a Kislev vanilla feature:

From dev blog post 6.1
"Atamans now enable a new feature for settlements, tentatively called “Garrison Sally Attack” where you can command settlements managed by them to engage enemies within a limited distance, as if the settlements themselves were armies. Of course, the capital of the province is lead by the Ataman himself, who takes the field with the garrison during this attack."

Doesn't work for me though I'm playing with Radious mod that may be why.

The goat is back

Goated 5.0 Update, thanks Hertz

not working anymore

I believe this is still working - just.
You just have to be on the SETTLEMENTS GARRISON page before dble-clicking zoom to spawn the army, doesn't work for me on building overview etc.

update pls

all his mods would be great to update, but is Hertz still alive?

I was able to get it mostly working by placing it at the top of my load order, but the army does not return to garrison - the garrison suddenly reappears in the city, leaving the duplicate army in the field.

@D.ouble.D you sure you're on V2.4? If so I'm throwing this baad boy into my nearly 100 mod playthrough with Franz currently yessuh!

for me it still works today.

one day this mod will be back up and running. In the mean time just know we all miss it!

Update ?

brooo update ples this shits solid cant live without

will this need an update?

Ok this is very fun!
But super exploitable, if you change the summoned army's general, then the army remains not to return!
Additionally tho it "counts" as returned so u can summon another army for free immediately on the next turn lol.
Fun all the same!

I have a problem where the garrison doesn't return to the city, I have to disband them manually. Am I doing something wrong here?

BTW, this seems to be incompatible with the Land Encounters mod which a lot of people are using (25k subs) including me. So I won't be using it for now.

Tested with Cathay on the latest version as of writing.

Awesome mod. Works for Grom on the new update.

One issue is that you can get infinite movement for these garrisons if you leave the region.

Looks very interesting. Is there a chance that we could get customizable garrisons in the future?

awesome mod

This is such an amazing idea! Will it work for IE without needing an update? (I suspect it might because it is probably all script based?)

It only takes the units from the settlement garrison, not any armies stationed inside the garrison

How does it interact with ally units in the garrison? Will they be copied too?

@Necropolitan13
Would it be possible that you run this mod in tandem with the savegame where the bugs happens.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789857593&searchtext=debug
Make sure you recreate the bug before exiting, and exit the game to windows after the bug happens

If you do that a debug log will be created in your wh3 install folder (script_log_DATE.txt) If you could post the contents in a pastebin link I can maybe debug it. https://pastebin.com/

And post the pastebin link in the bug reports discussion.

Im heading off now so will be able to continue tomorrow.

Hey Hertz. Apparently the bug I reported on the Province Patrols mod was actually from this mod. No idea how or why, but just got it again. This time my LL was in Slaanesh's realm and was booted out due to it. The hero that was in his army also was wounded, though when I reloaded the autosave from the end of the previous turn and ran it again, it was just my LL that was wounded the second time. So strange. Anyway, I'll try once more, swapping out the Playable Garrisons and Province Patrol mods, and see if it happens again with just the PP mod active.

I have the weirdest issues with games, I swear...

Updated the mod since garrison forces were not being removed.

Huzzah! Thanks much, we appreciate you!

The bug has been fixed and no longer crashes the game

Yep - seeing the same issue. Game crashes at the beginning of the next turn for some reason.

Can confirm, spawning the garrison will crash the game on the end of the end turn. My guess would be the game is confused on where all of the units just went.

As a further note, it also seemed to be causing sporadic crashing during the AI turns. It was pretty unpredictable, so it's difficult to be absolutely certain it was this mod, but the last time it started happening, I tried a number of things to resolve the issue, and only succeeded when I disabled this mod. I know this isn't supposed to be used by the AI, so I'm not sure how it would be causing the crashes, but there it is.

To be more specific, the crashes I was getting happened sometimes during various AI factions' turns. They usually repeated every time I tried to roll the turn over, but sometimes it would get through (I don't remember what, if anything, I did to progress it). But the last time it happened, I was getting the repeated crashing on a particular faction's turn, and as soon as I disabled this mod, it was able to progress.

Hope this helps others and/or helps in updating/fixing the mod.

as the previous post, it crashes the game during the next turn, after the army is deployed

This seems to have been crashing my game on my next turn after using the feature. I deployed my garrison from Praag to deal with a chaos portal army; I couldn't move it that turn (which i imagine is intentional), so had to wait the the next. But when my next turn rolled around, my game immediately crashed, even before it actually gave me control or brought up my HUD. I also noticed that there was a hero or something on the campaign map inside of the city that I could not do anything with and didn't show up on my character list.

Luckily, I had saved the game right before deploying the garrison as an army, so I was able to revert to that save and *not* deploy the garrison, and the next turn landed just fine.

How do you play with solland in WH3?????

Keep up the good work king

i think this causes the game to crash if used alongside SFO

Can use in coop?

doesn't work

Going to give this a try. In theory this should make dealing with chaos rifts a lot easier. Thank you for sharing!

Hertz, I freaking love this mod idea! Thank you for making this, I'm gonna have a lot of fun with it!

Im gonna need a good day in time to make support for co-op work. I already have someone who can help but at this point multiplayer is not supported.

Should I test in co-op would you be interested in trying or making compatibility for coop if not? I can be a pretty good test dummy in 3 player coop.

@Musclebadger
Huh that is not intentional, could you go into more detail when you say "reveals diplomacy"

Weird interaction: When I sally out with a garrison it reveals diplomacy for all factions.

Only seems to work for the host in multiplayer campaigns
