Improved Garrisons - Mod settings

[Deus]

Just added this Mod.
Have some quick tips on using it?
For those that have tweaked it for some benefit and not just cheese.

[Action Man]

Read its tutorial. There's a whole lot of settings.

Don't forget about Alt+G. There are additional settings there.

I advised reading the tutorial because there's a lot of information there. Anything people suggest to you might not make sense if you don't know what the mod is doing. There's not really anything 'quick' about learning it.

If you can be a bit more specific in questions, it's easier to answer. Otherwise, any response would be regurgitating the tutorial.

Does this mean you have a working modded Bannerlord that does not crash whenever. It couldn't be?

If you read and follow instructions properly and do your research, crashes and instability are never a problem.

They haven't been for me and my few dozen mods I run.

I haven't seen any crashes but I could see where it could by exponentially increasing the load.
It is vague in the instructions in regards to troop count. Mostly so it is very vague in the configuration instructions.
I don't want to cheese out and op the game. I don't want impossible AI wars. Just saw it was could be a good option to help manage local issues while pursuing other portions of the campaign.
But... I don't want it over riding default where I limit troops either. Which it does not specify but suggests it does.
So I believe all that comes to the point of balance.

Some things to consider:

Both you and the AI have to pay troops. So if you set your garrisons to be maxed out, it's going to cost. Clans without money won't be able to field parties, which makes for empty maps.

Troop Count is (I believe) how many troops you want in that fief. The mod will either recruit locally (the fief's bound village), or it can use a template, set by you. Whatever troops you set in the template, the Garrison will create a unit that will travel to the appropriate fiefs and villages to recruit those troops.

If you make your template be 50 Fian Champions and 20 Khan's Guards, the Recruiter will visit both Battania and Khuzait territory to find the recruits that level up to those units. When you create a Recruiter unit, you specify how many recruits you want them to find before they come back to the fief to deposit the troops. Your Recruiter can be attacked and destroyed, so be mindful if you send them on long journeys.

Personally, I don't use Guard units (garrison patrolling the area), because when I used it, it messed with the AI. Stronger enemy parties would follow Guard units, but never engage them. I didn't like how it stopped the AI from attacking/defending.

If you use the Alt+G menu, you can set options for the AI. How many troops they keep in their garrison, how much they get trained, how much bonus food you give the fief (so they don't starve), along with a lot of other options.

I also do not use the fief/construction management, because it's too cheesy to me. Being able to telepathically manage all your fiefs is overkill.

I mostly use it so the AI has defensible fiefs, and I handle my own recruiting. I do set training for the units in my garrisons so they become the troops I want. Otherwise it's random.
