This plugin allows you to have follower squads, provides balanced salary system and context dependent order mechanics.
There are a lot of mods that increase the follower limit. The goal of this plugin is to create balanced, less chaotic combat experience with focus on preparation.
You can have up to 120 followers in your party in any combinations. There are no limits for squad size or squads count! Also, you don't have to take your troops with you (just define squads, send them to their homes and call only when you need some support)
Please, watch the following video guides::
Plugin doesn't change the native follower system, so it should be compatible with most follower mods. Some native follower topics have no effect. They are not filtered for compatibility reasons.
How to define a squad:
1) Select the squad leader (use dialogues)
2) Attach other followers to leader ("Mark this person" -> "Attach the marked person")
Most characters won't join your party for free. There is a daily salary for all members. The more salary value you set the more advanced followers you can hire. Salary is affected by player's reputation and "Speech" perks.
If the leader is dead or dismissed, the most advanced squad member will automatically take the lead with the next order.
You don't have to dismiss squads if you don't want to loose the current structure.
1) "You and your people can go home and relax" - suspend all orders for the squad or specified squad member. You don't pay to party members that are in the "relax" mode
2) "Take your old place in squad' - resume orders for the specified member
Use the "Tactical Sign" power (squad leaders MUST see player in order to recognize his signs)
1) Cast it near the squad to select it
2) Cast it under the player's feet while your weapon is DRAWN to give the "Hold" order to every leader
3) Cast it under the player's feet while your weapon is SHEATHED to give the "Regroup" order
4) Cast it near your current enemy to give the "Attack" order to every squad
The "Dragon Sign" ability allows you to use dragon shouts as signals to your followers.
First you have to equip the shout.
Second, talk with the leader and bind this squad to the shout.
Use the "Dragon Sign" in 3 different ways:
1) Use the voice as usual. If you have squads nearby that are binded to shout that you use, they will regroup and start following you.
2) If you are involved in combat, use the voice as usual and the binded squads will attack your current target. You can hide your troops while preparing for battle. Then you can use shouts as signals in proper order with proper timing to create tactical advantage.
3) Shout into the sky (literally). All binded squads will hear your voice. They will find you in few days, no matter where your location is.
You can also use regular Skyrim orders activation system. Hold the "Use" key while pointing on the target follower to select him or her. Regular squad members will hold the position like leaders, until you give the regroup order.
All squad members are allies. But sometimes even friendly troops can attack each other because of friendly fire. Use the Regroup sign to force squads to stop fighting with each other. In this case visibility doesn't matter.
SKSE is NOT required!
Compatible with most follower mods!
