Local Recruitment for Warriors of Chaos

*A word of caution for both players and modders alike*
This mod is based on an old form of recruitment for WoC that should be deprecated but was simply disabled and hidden instead.
There's the concrete possibility that CA could completely remove or break this feature with future updates related to WoC: in that specific scenario I will NOT be able to fix this mod.
You have been advised.

*Please consult the Known Issues and QA sections before commenting, thanks.*

This mod restores the Local Recruitment option for WoC (Warriors of Chaos), you'll be now able to recruit the vanilla WoC roster directly from the Dark Fortress' building chains.
Do note that this mod also allows this type of recruitment for custom WoC units: if you are a modder and want to use this method for your mod just follow this quick guide https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2998525410/3805027864674661182/
In fact: I mainly made this mod just to have a reliable way to put my custom WoC units in campaign without cluttering the Warband Ui.

*QA*

-"What about the balance?"
Again: this mod was mainly made to have an easier way to put my custom WoC units into the campaign without the need to use the Warband system.
>>*Using the Local Recruitment option, while also having access to the Warband system and upgrades, is going to make your faction a little OP sooner than later.*<<

-"Does the AI have access to this?"
Didn't test that, but if we assume that the AI is following the same recruiting rules as the player they should (in theory) have access to this type of recruitment.
Will the AI use this type of recruitment or completely ignore it?
No idea, it's entirely up to the AI at the end of the day.

-"Is there a way to increase my local recruitment slots beyond two?"
Not to my knowledge, sorry about that.

-"Does this also work with the allied outpost mechanic?"
Yes! Be sure to build the outpost on a province with a Dark Fortress, though.

-"I can't recruit X vanilla unit with this method"
Due to problematic balance a good part of the WoC daemonic extended roster cannot be recruited with this method, you'll have to recruit those units with the normal WoC recruitment.
Consult this discussion to know which units are covered by this mod https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2998525410/3817418437355854805/

-"I opened the mod with RPFM and I'm getting a datacoring warning, is that normal?"
Normally you'd want to avoid datacoring, but in the case of this specific mod datacoring was necessary, so yeah: it's normal.

-"How can I use this mod to put my custom WoC units in campaign?"
Follow this quick guide https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2998525410/3805027864674661182/

-"Can you also make stuff related to global recruitment?"
No.
Global recruitment go beyond the scope of this mod and I have no idea about how to achieve such a thing.

-"SFO/Radious ecc. ?"
As a matter of fact I'm officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.

-"Your mods are ugly and janky, why? just why?"
Here's a friendly reminder: I'm just an amateur and nothing more.
If you want beautiful stuff with no jank then stick with CA and/or professional modders and avoid my mods, simple as that really.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Some vanilla unit cards were already visually tied to the Black fortress' building chain despite not being directly recruitable from there due to the Warband system.
You'll notice a few duplicates in the building browser but it's just a little visual bug.

*COMPATIBILITY*

Should be compatible with pretty much everything EXCEPT other mods that datacore the Vanilla ui_features_to_cultures_tables table and possibly mods that heavily modify the Warriors of Chaos UI and/or add new recruitment button/s.

And that's all I guess!
