Custom troops

[relam10]

Hey! Just wanted to know the general opinion about custom order/troops like Propeshy of Pendor.

I totally love it, and it gives a lot of immersion since you have to plan them from the beggining/mid game, training them, gearing up... and can add a lot of roleplay.

I don't think is really hard to implement and can enchance a lot the gameplay, and if you mix it with smithing crafting some cool gear, modifying colors... dunno, would be awesome.

What do you think about it?

PD: if you like the idea please post your view about it, otherwise the post will die soon.

I think it should be implemented. Money could be your limit as to what gear they could have.

I think it's an excellent idea and whoever came up with this must be a genius.

Now, now Vader, is that sarcasm or a pure innocent commentary?

You will get it.

It would be an excellent way to improve immersion and spend coin in middle-late game!

Plus, it's a lot of fun. If you haven't tried it yet, a mod has already been made granting the ability to create a custom troop tree ingame: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/2482

Though if Taleworlds were to implement custom troops I would rather they restrict how many troops we can make, whilst also making them very pricey (they are troops you can't recruit anywhere else, so it makes sense they would cost more to train and equip, even gameplay-wise).

Plus, it brings back good memories, I remember asking for this in the poll a few years ago

I really don't see much difference between armor or weapons in a unit at same level. I saw videos in YouTube where two peseants kills almost all units.

I would like if they used the custom troops as a clan troop type maybe. They could tie it for the player only with the clan tier level and would make a great money sink for mid game

I think the idea is great. Like Maggelo suggestion but little more complicated.

The custom troops must be like your personal guards/retinue - only professinal soldiers who are on constant service (to death) to you tied to your clan level and the place you occupy in the social ladder:

- vassal with lvl 3 clan can have 30 man
- vassal with lvl 6 clan 60 man
- king with lvl 5 clan 70 man
or just random mercenary wanderer with lvl 4 clan - 20 man....

With custom weapons/armors (blacksmiths), banners, colors, training/abilities (skills). And maybe their recruitment can be tied to another great idea - mustering them from the castles (we'll need the hideout/small fortification for the mercenary/wanderer to have access, or not. Because we need some penalties not only buffs)

I wonder if TaleWorlds have any intentions of adding Custom Troops? We already have a few custom troop mods and they are wonderful. But as always, if it is in the base game there will be no mod that has to be constantly kept up to date.

They could do it with templates too, so that you can export and import troop templates.
