Description
Retainers/Ancillaries mod. - I recommend you use this mod with my People mod as they share the same style portraits.

+160 New retainers. This is on top of making the old retainers more unique. You're much less likely to get the same retainer twice.

All general retainers given their own portrait. You will no longer see two or three different retainers with the same portrait. The only exception to this is the agents. I did mod the agent retainers but didn't put as much work into it as the generals. I took all the objects/relics for generals and converted them to human retainers and changed the names/stats.

Retainer stats increased to match my overhaul difficulty. I also added ability unlocks to a lot of retainers.

If you have any good retainer ideas make sure to leave a comment below. I want to keep retainers as human beings and not relics/objects.

As always... you have my permission to use my mods however you see fit. Have fun!

I've linked a vanilla version below. This will not have the 160 new retainers in it. Everything will be vanilla including the script. This will however give a separate portrait for each vanilla retainer. To install; download the .pack file and drop it in your data folder. C:/> Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Shogun 2 > Data > Put the file here. When you load your game check the file named Fourstrider_Retainer_Vanilla.pack. Done.

If you value the time and effort I put into my mods and wish to pay me back, then I ask you donate to the DCCH Center for Children and Families. They are a local(to me) residential treatment center that provide care for children. You can donate by following the link below.

Then is it possible to make one which provide diplomatic relation retainers for daimyos and heirs

I wish I could but it's structured that way by the base game.

can you create create an add-on mod which allows one to freely choose which retainer to choose from instead of 2 predetermined choices randomly selected by game.

I only spend about 2 -3 nights after work and most Sundays to mod. I thought I'd have this thing released back in June lol.. probably will end up being June of next year. The quest idea I got from final fantasy. The first one I made works beautifully. It will give you more stuff to do with your agents and make you think a lot more.

Of course. Take your time. If this project gets in the way of your life and health then certainly take a break to recharge. You deserve it. Quests for Agents huh? Sounds interesting. Looking forward to how you handle it

That is a good idea. The reason I haven't done that is because it took forever to write each province trait script for just Generals. I got burnt out so didn't want to do it 6 more times for the agents. I will most likely do it eventually. Right now I'm working on quests for agents. It's something completely new or at least I don't think I've seen anyone do anything like it yet.

By the way. You ever try to add traits similar to Governor Traits but to the agents instead? For example if you keep a Metsuke in one province long enough he gets an Overseer Trait which gives a bonus to Ninja detection as well as further Tax increase. Something similar for Ninjas and Monks. The purpose of it is to encourage you to keep your agents in specific towns as they build networks and rapports with the locals

Lovely! Thanks for the help

I'll be revisiting my traits mod at some point next year. It shouldn't be too difficult to add the expanded provinces to the script.
NTLuck Dec 22, 2021 @ 3:31am 
Got it. Thanks for explaining. I'm using your traits mod but the governor traits, while still work, are a bit funky with Expanded
