My plans for Version 0.3! (Patreon)

Greetings Conquerors!

Apologies for being mostly gone this past week. I inadvertently burnt myself out working on releasing version 0.2 and needed about a week to recover. But now I have returned, and I am here to tell you what my next plans for the mod are! I'm going to be spending a few days on fixing more bugs, mainly dealing with the vanilla bounty system and rebellions as I received a lot of reports about that. 

But here are my plans for Version 0.3! Where Version 0.2 was focused primarily on city management and becoming High King, Version 0.3 will be a smaller update that focuses on additions and improvements to your armies.

Here are some features that I am planning for this update:

ARMY IMPROVEMENTS

- The ability to select the race and gender of your troops (a VERY requested feature)

- An automatic troop recruitment system where you can build troop templates (e.g 10 archers and 10 soldiers) that you can assign to each army and they'll automatically recruit based on that template.

- Assign a troop to be a standard bearer and carry your banner into battle!

 MAGIC TROOPS

- Recruitment of magic troops based on school (Destruction, Restoration, Conjuration, etc.)

- Recruitment of other undead forces (Spiders, Draugr, Skeletons, etc.)

- Vampires! (You can turn your government and commmanders into vampires, who can then turn their troops)

COURT MAGE

- Used for the recruitment of magic troops

- The primary duties of the court mage is research. Instead of having the player immediately have the ability to recruit undead and magic troops, they will need to assign their court mage to research them, which will gradually make them more powerful with each level. Instead of simply throwing gold at them, the player will ask the mage to research a specific troop type/upgrade and the mage will ask the player to fetch magical artifacts from tombs for them to research. Once the player retrieves the artifact and return it to the mage, they will study it and you will get whatever benefit comes from that artifact when they're done. However, if you are the Archmage of the College of Winterhold, you will immediately be able to recruit all of the mage troops.

RECRUITABLE DRAGONS

- One of the things the court mage can research is dragons. Always thought the bend will shout was a little underpowered? Well once your court mage spends some time to research dragons you will be able to recruit dragons you use the shout on to join your faction. A dragon you recruit will be able to be managed like an army. You can deploy them into a battle(and ride them) or have them garrison a city to help defend it.

That's pretty much my plans for the next update. As I said it's a bit smaller in scope than the last one but the small additions will make a big difference!
