Nobility Many Generals Governors
It's a lot easier to recruit generals (Bodyguard unit), even from smallest settlements
Goal is to enable possibility to have many (enough) Generals & Governors
Why 'Many Generals Governors' ?
- Campaign AI has a bug -> it's often sending armies without generals. It's impossible to fix.
- So the idea is : if AI has enough generals, it should send at least one in attacking army (even randomly/statistically).
- Next: as a player: number of available generals & governors on game start for some factions is really really small.
- Generals or Governors - it's Nobility. I think they should be generally easier available.
- Of course if you loose them in a war (like France at Agincourt) - you don't have them.
- Recruitable generals do not affect family tree, dynasty - they are not family so it's safe.
- Nobility - it's the 'Oligarchy' social class. I think there is no vacuum in this social class, sooner or later someone will be here.
- From history : When there's period with lack of Nobility (army commanders or governors), ruler can accolade for knight the most capable folks - and we have Nobility.
- So to summarize - Nobility should be a lot easier to recruit then in vanilla SSHIP :-).
Details:
- Bodyguards (suitable for each faction) are recruitable from smallest:
- city with replenish rate 40 turns (15 years), parameter "City Replenish Turns", each next city level lower replenish rate by 1 (parameter "City Replenish Bonus")
- castle with replenish rate 36 turns (14 years), parameter "Castle Replenish Turns", each next castle level lower replenish rate by 1 (parameter "Castle Replenish Bonus")
- AI has + 100% bonus to replenish rates, so they're accordingly 20 & 18
- Higher settlement levels have bigger maximum 'stacked' units, up to 2 or 3 in biggest settlements.
- …
Effects
- This feature works very very good
- AI is training additional generals, there's more stacks commanded by generals.
- if your non-family general will win tough battle you will be offered 'Man of the hour' adoption into royal family :
