this is currently CTD on launch, update needed. I'd also like to see this in my next empire campaign!

I really please you to update this absolutely needed mod for my empire playthrough! PLEASE!

does this mod have compatibility issues of note

i love the starting idea you had. i will look forward for new updates in the future ;) . as i said, the idea is GREAT!

I wonder if ya could try using the Ogre Merc recruitment to give us instant mercs, some coding magic should be able to do so.

sweet, I will give it a go cus I was just waiting cus I thought all anims where messed up for thigns before 3.0! will give it ago cus its an amazing mod!

@BloodW0lf

These units are using existing WH3 human animations and they seem to be working fine. One mod that I was developing messed up bad with the animations since they were using modified animations (mostly with file names and the changing of some bones/skeletons stuff, from what I recognized). This caused the units to not initiate an attack animation, T-posing, and doing a vaulting animation when there should be an attack animation.

However if there are any problems, feel free to let me know!

Does this need an update? 3.0 changed animations and broke them for just about everything

@Daverin2112

Sorry for the long wait, I thought I have replied at some point!

I have worked with the author for the AoR Recruitment mod before so I have communicated with him before. He was helping me with a collaboration mod but that's been put on definite hold for now (maybe, almost 7 months?). I am not aware if he's still active on modding WH3 either.

I haven't touched Warhammer 3 since I've built my new PC, though didn't change drives. If you know how to work the AoR mod, you could ask him to see if you'd be able to take the mantle on that sub-mod! Thanks for the heads up regarding the mod if it's still working!

Still working, fyi!

@Cat on a Laptop I have a question; have you ever looked into the AoR Recruitment mod? I don't see any signs of that author updating, but he literally had a submod for yours, doing what you mentioned initially wanting to do.

I figured I'd make the point. I'd love the true old time experience, if you ever wanted to tackle updating that.

Thanks for your reply, I checked and I'm sure I'm not using any LODmods while using this mod

Alright, I'll give 'er a shot and see how it goes!

@Daverin2122

Works fine on my end, without any other mods. I would like to advice not using the "custom matched combat animations" mod for now, as it hasn't been updated since February and currently is causing animation problems due to the latest Chaos Dwarves update (ranged units not firing, weird synced animations, etc).

Has anyone had a chance to use this post patch?

@cat I’m not! I am using the ones that edit lighting, could that do anything? I can’t test at the moment as I’m not home but I’ll have a quick test when back.

@Royal Noob, @Sigmar:

I can double check, but by any chance are you using any LOD mods?

vvv was about to comment the same issue. It’s only a small one

Great mod! But about Mercenary Duck-Foot Cuirassiers, when I zoom out, the feathers on the unit's helmet have texture errors, I wonder if this is a problem with my graphics settings, or this is a bug

Brilliant, thanks for the response!

It does! Only caveat is that it only works with vanilla order buildings, so Altdorf, for example, has no way to make them.

Does this work with Sigmars Heirs???

Well this is just neat! I also love the throwback.

Did anyone ever get around to a Cataph TEB submod? It was suggested before, but it makes too much sense for the Southern Realms to not have it, lol.

I hear your planning on adding a handgunner unit and i haven a little idea:
handunners as decent melee combatants (beyonets)
would also be amazing if you ever do manage to get and instant recruit system in place
great mod BTW

@Supperbon: I appreciate it! I'll post your link on the sub mods category so people may find it should they need the mod.

@DragonRanger: Thank you! I did the same as well

Love the brown color, takes me back to the Medieval Total II days, one of my top armies in that game was literally nothing but Mercenaries.

hello, I made a chinese translation for your wonderful mod!
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=2928056558

So it's a mod that add rarity to units and the more rare units are the less u can have of them, is very good

@BloodW0lf:

Tabletop cap mod? I'm not sure what you mean, but there is no unit cap with the exception of the Company Captain.

Is theer a tabletop cap mod for this? i have been lloking and cant find one?

@Cat on a Laptop:

That's quite amazing! I'll be eager to try them out whenever you finisht the next update!

@Dra-San:

I've wanted to make something unique besides just a handgunner. I got an idea but it will probably be implemented next update in addition to a cheaper, more normal handgunner unit.

Great mod!
But I have a question.. Could you add mercenary handgunners?

@Cat on a Laptop that would honeslty be amazing, I think it would add a lot to this and that mod!

@BloodW0lf: I could look into it as a sub-mod.

@steelwarrior77: Not tested as I don't have SFO, so I'm unsure.

This is a MUST have mod for this game imo, I was wondering if you could make it so missle units from ur mod could deploy steaks when this mod is enabled? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860306662 would be amazing to haev crossbows with them!!

Thanks man - do the stats work with SFO?

1.2 Update! New things and adjustments located in the change notes.

Happy Holidays!

Would love if an update could include Vlad and Manfred to this list for roleplay purposes.

The description of "mercenary dismounted cuirassiers" says they should have vanguard deployment, but they don't actually.

What a lovely mod shame you haven't been able to get a separate tab like for Regements of renound but I'm sure you'll figure it out

Ah awesome, it doesn't bother me if the AI does recruit them but just wanted to check first.

@Cat on a Laptop
Okay, thanks, it works! The crossbowmen are a total killer now. 221 range and 57 missile strength.

@Reitschuster

Yeah I've found the bug. The mod should be updated within the next 30 minutes or so. It was the one table I literally forgot which relates to all ranged units (all units affected by "Guided by the Lady")

Any news on the skill tree bug?

@Cat on a laptop
Yes, that would be good

@Lunatic Pandora

I have not seen the AI recruit them yet, but if they have the tavern building sure. I don't think they actually can since I did not put anything on the "unit qualities" table (which, in older Total War titles, dictate the priority of the unit if they should be recruited by AI or not if I remember right).

@Reitschuster

Thank you for the sub-mod! If you want I can leave a link to your mod in the description

Does the AI recruit these or is this purely for the player?

So, I decided to make a submod for this to make it compatible with the Unit Upgrades (Imperial Armory), here is the link - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879374528 .
I hope everyone enjoys it!

@Cat on a Laptop
Dismounted Cuirassiers and Cuirassiers-Carabiniers also get affected by "The Peasant's Duty" and get a +12 increase in armor upon receiving rank 7.

@Reitschuster

Thanks for the award! That's kinda interesting, I'll have to look into the crossbowmen and the other ranged units to see if they're affected by this too.
