Better House Guard (Historical)

Description
Tired of the useless House Guards that you spent 15000 renown to get to? Tired of them reusing the same generic artwork and gameplay from regular heavy infantry? Then this mod is for you!

Makes them much better for being hard capped to a single regiment as well as give them a new artwork and icon to differentiate them from regular ol heavy infantry.

Stats are as follows:

130 damage | 110 toughness | 50 screen | 500 total units

They cost an exorbitant 1500 gold so only rich dynasty members can afford them.However they are free in upkeep like in vanilla.

Now they counter all enemy types except archers since they lack shields and are halberd infantry (or at least the artwork suggests that).

This is the (somewhat) more historically friendly version of the original mod.

Artwork credit goes to paooo on deviantart.
Icon made by me so might be a little fugly.

Hope you enjoy it.

Made an updated version of this one and also made it a separate one so it will not overwrite the default one and made it so you need warfare legacy 5 perk unlocked before you can get them https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2986838585

@Cleric - The meaning of this mod is lost. Then it's easier to play for the Scandinavians, Varangian veterans will easily replace the guards from this mod. *spread his hands*

@sociopath - On the bright side House Guard is broken and the ai will only hire 1/5 stacks. So think of it as a normal retinue someone that controls at least one county would command.

The weird thing about that is I was looking for a bug report as I'm sure this has been going on since launch and not one report, a similar problem early on was reported where players could only hire one stack, I'm guessing when they fixed that they neglected the AI.

If I wanted to change the name of these units in the files, what would I need to do?

Ok cool, just hope the AI wont abuse it like crazy lol. Looks great though. Makes you onder why Paradox went so cheap with no special artwork for it.
