cyrusII:
I thought of a cool feature (let me know If I'm light years ahead) is if your a Nomad have the ability to make a settlement. I thought of this and I have no modding experience so to me I'm unsure if it can or cannot be done.
Way I had in mind was make more neutral settlements like you have the "ravine" and "mines" but change them to 'pastureland' or 'clearing' where you can make a fief and it produces what a Nomadic family/clan would make: felt, goat/horse/sheep meat, cheese, wool, sheeps milk, koumis and what not.
That way you can station troops on your settlement, pull resources. As a bonus model a yurt (inside and out) when you walk around the settlement. The bonus would be able to move your sole fief to these 'clearings' or 'pasturelands' to continue razing the livestock. Maybe I'm being picky but change the farmers that will go from your fief to HQ's to 'Kinsman' because it enforces the idea that it's your Nomadic clan.

I've been looking for a troop tree so I could do some editing of the Polish forces spawn -- consistently running into nobles who have nothing but heavy cavalry is getting to be a bit much, and it sort of ruins the flavour of the game. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a troop tree around, and the names of the troops make no sense at all to me, as I don't speak Polish.
Is there a troop tree around that I'm missing? Or has somebody else monkeyed with the way that Polish lords spawn troops?

Quick translation of polish troop names:
Village:
Chlop - peasant/serf
Chlopski piechur - peasant infantryman
Mysliwy - hunter
Doswiadczony chlopski piechur - trained (experienced) peasant infantryman
Town:
Tarczownik - shield bearer, ("tarcza" is shield in polish)
Piechur - infantryman/footman
Piechur ciezkozbrojny - heavy (armoured) infantryman/footman
Lekki jezdziec - light cavalryman
Ciezki jezdziec - heavy cavalryman
Piechur strzelczy - shooter
Piechur strzelczy ciezkozbrojny - armoured shooter
Kusznik - crossbowman
Konny Kusznik - mounted crossbowman (btw. there is a bug here because these troops have no horses assigned so they will always appear on the battlefield as infantry... you may need to change it in TroopEditor).
Castle:
Szlachta - nobleman (okoliczna, czastkowa, zagrodowa - these are terms describing owned estates, unfortunately I can't give you correct translations...)
Castle elite:
Wlodarz - steward (appointed by feudal lord to govern parts of his territory).
Pan - I think it should be named Rycerz (Knight) instead... Pan was also polish title for nobility.
Moznowladca - they were polish knights/noblemen with great influence, given highest prerogatives from the king.

Thanks! You're a life-saver, Mannerheim.
I realized after I posted that I could just open the troops doc and go through, examining them by level and writing down the names so that I could then edit the spawning properly, but that would've increased the time required by quite a bit. This makes things much easier.
I'm also tweaking a couple of the PCs: Lezalit and -- damn, I'm blanking on his name right now. The guy who's supposed to have murdered his own brother. Both are described as being capable warriors, both have military backgrounds, neither starts with either decent equipment, nor even the skills required to use equipment that should be basic for their professions. Riding skills aren't high enough to use a decent warhorse, and shield skills aren't high enough to use the mod's tweaked shield rules.
Because I'm given to obsessing over detail, I'm also thinking of going into the dialogues and editing them so that the mentions of Calradia are changed to someting more appropriate.

Mounted crossbowmen used horses for travelling, yet they dismounted for the battle. That's why such troops travel with the speed of mounted troops on the global map, but fight on foot in the battles.
