Description
1. DESCRIPTION:

MAY BE EXPANDED ON IN FUTURE.

NEW: This mod has been created from my original CJ's Empire Troop mod but now utilises Open Source Armoury items!

In my view they look much better and I can have more variety in future.

NOTE: Requires my original mod.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION

This mod adds in a new "noble" or "elite" troop line to the Empire factions. I always fancied having an Infantry based line for the elite troop of the Empire so I have decided to make none other than the below:

1. In addition to the vanilla Cavalry line, you now have an addition choice, upgraded from the new Tesserarius which replaces the vanilla Vigila recruit as follows:

1. Imperial Calrodi Tesserarius - Tier 2 Elite Infantry - Armed with a Shield, Sword and Spear.
2. Imperial Calrodi Optio - Tier 3 Elite Infantry - Armed with a Shield, Sword and Spear.
3. Imperial Calrodi Hastatus - Tier 4 Elite Infantry - Armed with a Shield and Sword.
4. Imperial Calrodi Princeps - Tier 5 Elite Infantry - Armed with a Shield and Sword.
5. Imperial Calrodi Primi Ordines - Tier 6 Elite Infantry - Armed with a Shield and Sword.

See Images for further references.

NOTE : OPEN SOURCE ARMOURY - Is required as I use some items from this, otherwise there will be some discrepancies in the dressing.

2. I have additionally revamped the Empire's party templates to reflect the additions so you will now see Lord and associated parties of relevance, having access with this new troop type. The player can also recruit them as normal and they will show up in villages too.

Compliments my CJ's Empire Lord Equipment Tweaks - OSA mod well.

2. COMPATIBILITY:
Is designed to be full compatible with majority of mods out there as it uses xlst updates to achieve goals.

May be incompatible with mods which alter the party templates and troop branches from the Vigla recruit. Depending on where you place this mod in the list, will determine where it overrides or becomes overridden by other mods. I will look at compatibility patches for mods depending on how I develop this mod.

See my accompanying mod CJ's Empire Troops - MCGA for a Make Calradia Great Again compatible version! :D

3. MOD LOAD ORDER:
Can be placed anywhere but see above compatibility note so you can use other mods if need be.

4. PERMISSIONS AND USAGE:
- No to uploading on other sites.
- No to re-using any files contained within.
- Make contact with regards to above should you wish to discuss.

@james - Apologies, I have recently done some refinement work on a few of the mods and this whilst it was standalone, now requires the original base mod as I have updated it to use XSLT instead of duplicating the XML file which is more efficient. I have updated the description (which I forgot to amend). Sorry for confusion.

It says it doesn't require the original but the mod manager doesn't allow you to activate it unless you have the original. This was a recent change given that when I installed it for the first time a month ago this wasn't the case.

@E.J - Yes it is working and is fully compatible with the latest 1.2.8 as it states on home page.

Hastati? 4th tier? Aren't those the noobs I send to get me coffee and fix my cats?

@mosesjns - They are my own troops created from ground up in my other mod, which I have altered to use OSA assets. Thus I edited them and cross referenced the alterations in troop trees from standard vanilla files etc.

Using XSLT is also easier for compatability for other mods as it does not overwrite entire XML's affected and rather edits the parts you want out of any module to take precedence.

Hope that helps.

Can i ask you how you exported / modified these troops? did u use MLW or did you just copy empire troop tree XML file and edit? Because i got my empire to be set up how i like using MLW but you cant export em like the custom troops. or i just dont know how?
