I would like if you could make it so that area-specific troops (such as the Red Rose Condoittieres of Vunkerl [S] or the First Legionnaires of Crawler’s Nest [S]) will be deployed to the Northlands.
Normally, the possible troops in the Northlands (such as Valaineral’s Royal Guards or Gariri’s Scorpion Casters) will be deployed, but the current settings for the game make it such that if even one region of a nation’s surrounding area is beastman-controlled, there will be no troops deployed. For example, on my server the Bastok army never sends troops to the North because the Pashhow Marshlands are occupied almost every week. If in such cases you instead made it so that area-exclusive forces are sent to the north to compensate, it would make it a lot easier to regain control of these areas.
I write a lot of this partly because I love fighting alongside these NPCs, and I think this would be a way to let NPCs that normally don’t appear as much get to see more action.
