I am the developer of the mods Persistent Troop Identities, Custom Troop Trees and Undead Calradia, AMA.
I had the idea forever ago to make this when the time was right (new release of PTI was the plan) but the right time never came around. Yesterday, I seem to have accidentally hijacked another thread and turned it into a Q&A about my mods, so I figure now's as good a time as any. Fun fact, I requested permission for this ahead of time and it was so bloody long ago that our good friend /u/Zippollini was actually not even a mod yet, so pls don't delete, /u/Mephistopholees should be able to confirm.
The relevant mods, with a brief description and status overview:
Every single troop in your army has a name and you can see where they came from, how long they've been with you, number of kills, etc. An additional, optional feature is that your troops can automatically loot those enemies they kill/knock out, so if one of your recruits lands the final blow on a lord, you may see them decked out in expensive gear next battle.
This is my first and favourite mod, with the most potential IMO, but very incomplete and buggy. The last update was a long time ago and it will be my next priority when I find time to get back into modding. Exists as a standalone mod with Diplomacy as base, but I'd like to make it something that can be merged into all kinds of mods. So far I haven't been very successful at making it not an ungodly nightmare to merge into anything.
A mod that adds the ability to customise your kingdom's troops. You get to fully choose each troop's name, stats and equipment. A picture is worth a thousand words.
This mod is far more complete and much more popular according to the Moddb stats, but it doesn't hold the same place in my heart. Just as with PTI, it exists as a standalone with Diplomacy as base but the end goal is to make it easy to get into other mods. It has notably been incorporated into the recently released Renaissance, but there may be some issues to iron out due to that poor mergability I mentioned. No further work planned for the foreseeable future, though would eventually combine it with PTI and make enhancements that are only possible in the combination of the two.
A mod where you can't recruit soldiers, instead you get to raise undead or skeleton versions of the enemies you kill. Has 4 certain cavalry companions that join your party automatically over time and have special combat abilities according to certain themes.
This was just for a bit of fun once around Halloween. People were talking about necromancy in M&B and I thought "I bet I could whip up a super basic necromancy mod in like an hour where you kill troops and then recruit them as zombies". So I made it. Then I thought of the Four Horsemen for some reason, remembered the Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead Redemption with the special horse abilities and made some companions. Then I added skellies and skellies riding skelly horses. This mod definitely isn't a priority, I may update it again next Halloween.
