So during promotion it uses:
Dictionary<string, string> CultureMap = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
// Map modded/related cultures to vanilla cultures
{ "darshi", "aserai" },
{ "vakken", "sturgia" },
{ "calradian", "vlandia" },
{ "criminals", "vlandia" },
{ "criminals2", "vlandia" },
{ "criminals3", "vlandia" },
{ "pirates", "vlandia" },
{ "shift_sand", "aserai" },
{ "neutral_culture", "vlandia" },
// Bandit cultures
{ "steppe_bandits", "khuzait" },
{ "forest_bandits", "battania" },
{ "mountain_bandits", "sturgia" },
{ "sea_raiders", "sturgia" },
{ "desert_bandits", "aserai" },
{ "looters", "vlandia" },
{ "corsairs", "empire" },
{ "southern_pirates", "nord" }
// Add more mappings as needed
};
To say if the units culture equals a left values return the right value so "neutral_culture" is calradian, so if you make a troops culture calradian on retinues it should still be caught and changed on promotion.

May I know by "Cultures like calradian and all the bandit types have been changed to a major cultures so issues when gifting fiefs and vassals etc are resolved. " Did you check the troop culture and used script to change it? What I am trying to ask is if there are custom/mod troops (like Retinue mod) with those cultures, will they be promoted to major culture companions as well?

Does this work for 1.3.10 and up? And if not will it be updated soon?

@Grim_Reaper this worked for me as well, thanks.

I don’t think you should get any promotion prompts for parties that your not the designated leader for but I’m not 100% sure

@Howl lmao, I can't read apparently. Thanks haha! Any known issues with stuff like Enlisted where you're in an army but not technically leading it?

after fixing it by locating files from the old mods. the game works again

i mean that just tells me nothing, the mod doesn't crash on start up so likely something else

Crashing on start up, anything I might doing wrong/why this is happening?

This is a standalone mod nothing else is needed other then mcm

question. are we only seposed to use this mod or does it have to be with an other mod of yours?
my game keeps activation the old ones aswell as this one

if you read my literal last comment, i said i use retinues with it yes xD

@falafel
it always did for me
western knights mod and tier 6 like valkery

Does this work with custom troop mods? For example the "Retinues" mod

On my save i just won a siege with 6 different troops to choose from no crashes, my load order is as big salad said with the only retinues mod loaded after / lower on the list

one of the best mods. Its working on normal battles, sieges causes a crash that i am not sure about which mod it is. It crashes short before end of battle, so i could think its ds. But i havent it loaded as first mod. I try that again with a new load order.

I think that save&load solve my problem. Nice,

Great mod, thanks. I've had several soldiers promoted into companion status.

*Update from yesterdays post*
Downloaded and everything works fine. Use MCM from steam, make sure your load order is correct.
<Harmony
<Butterlib
<UIextender
<MCM
<all the base game stuff
<DS1.3

I made some companions through this mod but one of them missed in the encyclopedia. I just couldn't find them from the encyclopedia.

fyi im playing a campaign in 1.3.12 with this mod and its good

then post a crash log that shows its ds and i'll look so far no one has said anything useful

last update broke the game, keeps crashing, fyi it worked perfectly prior

Everything still works perfectly well for me, im seeing a lot of complaints across the bannerlord workshops saying nothing is working rn, i dont know whats going on but people complaining harrmony, mcm are all broken, the mod hasnt been updated and is working for me right now

So apparently something is broken? i'm going to make a pre DS 1.3 save and try it out when i get home from work. If it's broken i'll see what i encounter!

yeah and i even tried the other mods versions but no go
now i cant play sadly

I have the same problem as Grim_Reaper. Unsubscribing or deleting the workshop files does not work. If enabled in the launcher it does not show up in the options. However, there was a crash at the end of battles that ceased after uninstalling this; I assume that is when a a soldier would have been promoted.

one of my favorite mods.

how do i get the mod to work again.
the old mod 1.1.2 worked and now that mod or this one doesnt show up in options anymore
please help. this is the best mod in the game

I'll be honest, while I'd personally prefer them to be set as empire, vlandians as a culture of "adventurers" also make sense for the default mercenary troop culture and I can see other users prefering that option ^^
But I did forget about the cheatmode! That'll be the perfect solution for me actually, so tyvm <3 I'll also take a look at the retinues mod you mention.

Ultimately I think its not something I will change it feels a bit overpowered, Most Calradian cultures troops are mercenaries that have a distinct culture look to them, i think maybe i'll change calradian culture to be empire rather then vlandian but i probably wont add more selection boxes to this mod for culture.

I know obviously you can use cheat mode and campaign.set_hero_culture [name] [culture]

Otherwise theres a few mods, you could use retinues to change sword sisters to be the culture you want them to be before the promotion, i think its a great mod, i use it in my playthrough with DS and it works fine

I understand that it's a failsafe, but in such case, is it possible to allow for a manual "choice" of culture for the resulting companion? Or alternatively, if it's something you can't(or don't want to) do, any tips how I might go around setting this myself?

Calradian culture is set to automatically assign vlandian culture this is to stop the game crashing when you get a calradian culture companion and try to make them govenor or owner of a fief

Is it possible to allow for manually choosing culture of the companions in case of issues? I tried making companions out of the Sword Sisters, and got the "CAUTION: No wanderer template with culture Calradian available. Choosing randomly instead" message, and with my luck i ended up with four vlandian Sword Sisters in a row...
Which kinda makes it difficult to get a governor or party leader of the culture i need ^^

Well yeh that would be why then, ai lords can’t naturally hire companions so wanderer tweaks is spawning wanderers and they just sit there. If you use my mod there should really be no need for wanderer tweaks

@Howl, yea - I believe the AI is promoting them and they just sit around in the Tavern. I am also using this with Wanderer Tweaks - basically changes the spawn rate of Wanderers.

Yes as it says on this mod page and in the title

It crashes when I promote a soldier. Do I need the DLC to use the mod or something?

The After battle the menu to promote companions works fine as long as the criteria is met

@SilverKnight yes I actually added it, but then removed it again when I saw UnlimitedCAP was updated

@ghost yes I personally lowered them 5 rounds and 5 skills generally felt too powerful , in turn I also changed the stats they get on creation to be a bit better and more random

@\o/ is that ai companions ?

The mod says it was sucessfully loaded, but after battles it never shows the options to recruit soldiers and make them companions

Even after battles, it does not give the option to recruit solders to companions. Moved it higher in modlist and rest settings to default and does not work, but it says sucessfully loaded.

Hey Howl, I think you have downgraded some skill selection and round numbers as well as selecting the companions more than 2 or 3. with your last version i was able to have 5 rounds and 5 skill sets for each companions now its limited to 3 skills with 2 rounds max. Is it possible for you to update the max allowance?

This CRASH

Could you add that functionality? All the cap remover mods appear to be out of date, would be great to have a slider to define the max amount the player can have

i have an interesting issue where the companions that are recruited are just appearing in taverns to be recruiting. It is getting to the point where each town as like 6-10 companions waiting.

It doesn’t

Does this remove the companion cap for the player?
