Excirial
Recruit
The leadership trait "disciplinarian" at 125 skill allows the player to upgrade captured bandits to the equivalent noble troop tree for said bandits culture. It appears however, that companions can perform this upgrade for the player even if the player nor the companion has the required skill level required to do this.
Steps to reproduce:
Mods used:
Settlement Icons and its requirements (UIExtenderEx, Harmony, ButterLib, Mod configuration menu). I don't believe these mods influence recruitment behavior of the companions but for reference sake i figured I'd list them.
Steps to reproduce:
- Capture and then recruit multiple bandit units. Personally i used the forest bandits.
- Level these troops until they reach the maximum bandit tier. Addition level them up until they have the required XP to level to their next non-bandit tier upgrade.
- Have a companion form their own party, and give them all the bandits as their army.
- Form an army with the companion, and just go about your business. Personally i was fighting a war at said time.
- After some time, ask the companion to see his or her troops. The companion should have / will eventually upgrade all bandit troops to their non bandit next rank.
