Reporting For Duty Classic

This is a fork of my main Reporting For Duty mod. It is the same mod without the Summoner Heroes update. All Reporting For Duty submods will work with either Classic or the main mod.

Why would you want the Classic version?

- You don't want to play with the new Summoner Heroes abilities for some reason
- You play with an overhaul (CTT, SFO*, Radious, End Times)
- You... fear change? Hey, I don't know!

*compatibility submod required for SFO

First figure out which end is sharp, then point it towards the enemy.

Ever look at a military building and think "But who's training the recruits?"

Have you wished defending spellcasters actually knew more than one spell?

Do you want more variety in enemy defenses?

Wait no more!


1. Reporting For Duty is a garrison upgrade mod that awards garrison units for military buildings, landmarks, and other thematic buildings.

2. Thanks to John Austin's mod skills, heroes and spellcasters will also level up with the settlement and gain abilities and spells. Yeah, he's awesome.

3. Reporting For Duty also entirely reworks the garrison priorities rules. In the base game, these would come up if a garrison had more than 20 units assigned (20 is the max) - then it would remove the excess units from the garrison according to priority. In practice? Oh my !@#$ those priorities rules were bad. We're talking "Blood Knights ranked worse than Zombies" bad. I mean bad. So I created new rules; for every unit and every variant, each analyzed for their stats and actual usefulness in a defensive siege battle.

Bolded line.

If it can recruit a unit, it will add to the garrison. Even the non-playable races with their own building chains like the Savage Orcs, Kislev, and Southern Realms.

Most landmark buildings will also contribute to the garrison.

No DLC is required. DLC units were carefully placed in DLC faction-only building chains or alongside normal units.

This mod is a companion mod for my BETTER SIEGES mod. Go get it for more awesomeness. We're all about the awesomeness here.

This is also specifically designed to be compatible with Austin's TAILORED FACTION GARRISONS mod. It's legit.

We're not satisfied yet! What about the horde factions? What about custom factions and custom units?

Yeah fam. I got you. Strap into your seatbelts. Updates and submods are on their way. Do your whole "like subscribe and follow" dance because this mod ain't stopping yet. Check it out:

All are optional. If you don't have them you won't notice.

• Goblin Spear Chukkas
  
• Tomb Barque
  
• Ikit's Rocket Nuke
• The Cow Trebuchet (sub-mod)
  
• Lthelis' Screaming Bell

Some have built-in support, some require submods.

This mod is save game compatible. It can be added and removed without damaging your save. However, whenever new garrison units are created by anything (such as by this mod) they spawn at the start of the turn and at 50% life.

Due to how garrisons are programmed, most garrison mods are incompatible with each other unless they are written to be in *both* mods. This is why Reporting For Duty works with Austin's mods but not most other garrison mods.

This mod contains Austin's You're A Wizard Garri-son and Oh Captain My Captain inside it. You can have those mods running as well but they won't do anything extra. Or if you think the upgraded heroes is cool but don't want the extra garrison units, go grab those instead. It's cool. You're only dead to me.

COMPATIBLE OVERHAULS

• Radious
  
• The End Times
  
• CTT
  
• SFO submod required

COMPATIBLE GARRISON MODS

• Tailored Faction Garrisons
  
• Hertz' Playable Garrisons
  
• Ubersreik High Five OR The Ubersreik 5 All In One

NOT COMPATIBLE GARRISON MODS

• Dynamic Garrisons 2
  
• Military Buildings add to Garrisons
  
• Optimal garrisons
  
• Trebor's Garrison Overhaul

This mod will be incompatible with the majority of other garrison rework mods out there. Ask if you want to know.

A huge thanks to HARBiNG3R and his garrison mod which gave me the inspiration to create this and do things differently. It also jumpstarted me with a framework and easily saved dozens of hours from the hundreds I spent on this.

Thanks to http://twwstats.com/unitscards for their really well-designed website to find and compare unit stats.

Thanks to totalwar.honga.net for their lists of faction buildings ID keys so I didn't miss any or go bald from pulling out my hair while making this.

Thanks to you for reading this far, playing it, and not making your own garrisons mod. Seriously. Don't do it. It's miserable.

Have fun! 😃
