    Default Tweak: No More Bodyguard Upkeep [Download]

    About: This small tweak removes upkeep costs from factional bodyguard troops, giving them all an upkeep of 0.

    Reason: While playing, I noticed that some factions are severely disadvantaged by their bodyguard units. A prime example of this is the Principality of Harondor: because this faction is so financially insecure at the start of the campaign, a single family member coming of age can make the difference between relative stability and bankruptcy. In my opinion, players shouldn't have to worry about the potential financial burden of family members.

    Exceptions:
    a few bodyguard units have been left untouched by this tweak; specifically, bodyguard/general units that can be recruited (such as the Knights of Dol Amroth) still have normal upkeep costs enabled. Below is a list of all "bodyguard" units that still have upkeep:

    List:

    White Company
    Grey Company
    Knights of Dol Amroth
    Nurn Guard
    Black Company
    Knights of the Dark Tree
    Black Numenoreans
    Helmingas
    Dorwinion Halbardiers
    Framsburg Guard
    Chieftain's Mounted Guardsmen


    Instructions: to add this tweak to your game, you will need to replace the "export_descr_unit" file in your "Rome - Total War\BI\fatw\data" folder with this one:

    export_descr_unit.txt

    Notes: this tweak is save-game compatible.
