Black Ark Building Notification Fix

Description
Are you tired of getting the "Building Upgrade Available" notification for Black Arks even though all building slots are full and the buildings are all at max level?

Me too, so after a few weeks of bashing my head against the ui coding, horde building scripting, and building chains tables, I came up with this workaround....a follower who nerfs Black Ark growth.

To use:
1. All black arks will spawn with a Black Ark Degenerate follower equipped. Be sure to remove at first.
2. Let the ark grow and create buildings as normal.
3. When you fill your last building slot, re-equip the follower to nerf all ark growth. The ark will stop at whatever population points are available and never grow any more. The game will never think you can upgrade buildings because you don't have the population growth to do so.
4. Raid Ulthuan to your heart's content.

***if you're using a mod that increases horde growth, make sure to re-equip the follower before you get 18-20 excess population points after your last building slot, or I'm pretty sure the notification will start again.***

CA - if you're listening, I'm pretty sure this is due to the horde_secondary building template having 10 slots instead of 9, so the game thinks there is a ghost slot to upgrade.

Thank you for your advice, Jeslis. Creating a new black ark did get me my degenerate attachment. After removing it from my new recruit, and their being wounded, another one was created upon their return. So I figure I can do this (maybe by shelfing them too?) to generate more.

It's not working currently because I'm late in the game and so I have a bunch of population surplus. I figure, if I can scrap some buildings and re-build, I can whittle my surplus down and then it should work okay.

Hi Monkey, its been a good 3 years since Ive used this.. but if I recall correctly; the follower only spawns with NEW black arks. You may have to hire new ones to get the follower, then fire/get rid of them somehow, and apply the follower to another black ark that you want it on.

I've just installed the mod in a current game (as the notification is indeed most annoying), but I'm not seeing this degenerate.

Do I need to start a new game for it to kick in, or is there somewhere I should be looking that I'm not? I've tried the character screen for a Black Ark.

Just checking; how does this work for the AI who summons black arks? do they get stuck with level 1 arks? (and is this a good thing? does it make them use their land armies more appropriately?)

Can you please add SFO support. Lokhir's ark doesn't get the follower and can't equip one from other arks
