This compilation of THAR, Army Banners and Agent pins, and Calvary bodyguards by Skidvar but modified and balanced for use with the XAI.
XAI is a core improvement mod and designed to fix most of the vanilla issues that are present in the game. XAI modules are designed and balanced to work together as a complete mod. Its main purpose for being modular is easy adoption for other modders, easier troubleshooting, and updating. It is also designed in the "submod format" meaning that it has the highest compatibility with other mods!
This module is required if you use the XAI: Character Skills and Offices.
I have been working Skidvar and he is one of the communities finest modders. He has been a huge help to me!! and deserves huge thanks!
The first module is his new updated and more balanced version of TRAITS, HOUSES, ANCS, & RANKS for (GRAND CAMPAIGN & BELISARIUS)(please check this page for full details by clicking the link below.) This module has been modified for use with the XAI package, as it changes some training XP, aura, and line of sight benefits of the generals traits. This module really adds to the role-play element and helps you get attached to you generals, but lessens the micromanagement burden of stupid items.
Note - I updated the Ancillaries, you should now get them more often. But your Generals have to fight in many battles order to get them. They don't just magically appear.
The second mod integrated is Skidvar's Army Banners and agent pins mod, so simple and perfect.
And the last module is his Cavalry BodyGuard mod that allows you to pick either foot or mounted General bodyguard units for factions that do not have mounted cavalry bodyguards. (should have been in vanilla)
This is an optional module but balanced for use in the XAI
