Great mod, it's intergrated into 1257 however id like some improvements:
+Ministers have same options as companion ministers
+Option to make a vassal a companion
+Option to make a unit a companion/vassel/Merc
+Merc warbands that you can control (Send them off to patrol, do tasks, give them names, etc)
It very much annoys me that you cannot bring new companions/heros into the world from units and the like. Ive seen m and b mods do this, so hopefully this stuff gets intergrated.
Keep up the good work!
