Vassal army mod

[Elite_Core]

I just had an idea for a mod, its simple really, you control your subjects armies if this mod already exists just let me know

It does not, but I do wonder if maybe it can be set up in the first place. It would probably need to use the condottieri system, but that is normally limited to a single land army and no navy at all.

Not possible.

Why isn't possible

The biggest issue is that the game does not allow for control of anything that is not marked as explicitly yours - such as advisers, armies, generals, buildings that your subjects started, etc - but you might be able to manipulate the current condottieri system to specially mark all subject armies and navies as yours whilst at war.

However, that would also mean you cannot split armies, add to them, disband them etc etc, as each one would be classed as a single "unit" for the purposes of your control, in the same way as a mercenary company (though you can at least disband them).

The downsides would be that you now have to pay for them as your own, which might cause a MASSIVE spike in your expenses, not least because you're probably going over your force limit.

That assumes, of course, that you are able to tweak the condottieri system to allow more than one army in the first place. Probably possible, with the editing of a few flags and code markers...but not easy.

I suggest heading over to the Workshop section of the forums and asking there, the experts are mainly assembled on that side of things.

I guess the best way to do this would be each vassal gives you their full force limit, and a specific amount of income that would cover the costs of troops up to the max force limit they gave you. To actually have you directly control an army not from your own nation isn't possible with the current modding tools.
