Cheb's Mercenaries.

Cheb's Mercenaries adds mercenaries to Valheim, which you can buy for gold and upgrade with materials to fight (warriors, archers) or work (loggers, miners).

My other fashion is related to the Necromancy of Cheb and has many common concepts and features. Mostly, it is intended for those who want to have living human slaves, not undead ones.

Note that PvP is a new feature in 2.2.3 and should be tested. It is disabled by default. To enable it, set PvPAllowed to true in the configuration. Minions will now be hostile to other players. Please report any problems here.

Walheim Cheb Library

Cheb's Valheim Library (CVL) is a DLL that contains code common to all my mods. For example, skeletons in Cheb's Necromancy and mercenaries in Cheb's Mercenaries inherit the ChebGonazMinion type from CVL. This allows you to command mercenaries with a staff and vice versa.

My mod comes with the latest version of CVL at the time of release, but if you want to update the mod, you can get the latest version of CVL here.

Features.

More information can be found on the wiki. Brief description:

Almost all customizations are possible or will soon be possible. Minions are too weak/too strong. Let's adjust them.

Buildings that can be crafted on the workbench:

Mercenary Chests: hire warriors, archers, miners, loggers.

Put money and other items in your chests to hire mercenaries:

Warrior 1st level: 5 baked meat/coins, 1 club

Level 2 fighter: 25 coins

Warrior 3rd level: 50 coins

Warrior level 4: 100 coins

Archer 1st level: 5 cooked meat/money, 20 arrowheads

Archer of 2nd level: 50 coins, 10 arrows brother.

Level 3 archer: 100 coins, 10 iron arrows

Rudokop: 5 coins, 1 hard antler

Lumberjack 5 coins, 1 flint

Catapult 25 Wood, 5 Colored Wood, 1 Bronze

Additional for the dressing of mercenaries:

Leather armor: 2 deer skins/skin flaps/scales

Troll Armor 2 Troll Skins

Wolf Armor 2 Wolf Skins

Rocks Armor: 2 RocksPelt

Bronze armor: 1 Bronze

Iron armor: 1 iron

Black metal armor: 1 black metal

Ownership.

Mercenaries (with the letter E) have no owner until they are activated for the first time, after which they respond only to this player.

Watch/wait/follow/follow.

It works just like Heb's necromancy.

Command weapons can be made in a forge. They are equivalent to black metal weapons and can be used to command a group of mercenaries nearby:

F forces all the nearest minions to follow it.

T puts the nearest minions on standby.

Shift+T allows minions to move around. G teleports all subsequent minions to your location (useful if you are stuck or ferry them on a boat).

If Dead Cheb's spell is charged

If Cheb's Necromancy is set to 3.0.0 or higher, the staff can be used to command mercenaries; command weapons can also command undead minions.

Configuration.

Note Configuration Manager is the easiest way to edit configurations. It's a separate mod. Download and install it.

Press F1 to open the Mode Configuration pane.

You can also edit the configurations manually. You can customize almost everything to your liking. For a complete list of all configuration options, see here.

Known issues.

Gamers using Radeon cards may encounter strange problems. We're not sure this is happening, but it's due to particle effects. This can be disabled by setting RadeonFriendly = true in the configuration.

Known incompatibilities.

There is a slight incompatibility with tilt combat correction, as the sight of the working minions may be distorted. This is not a big problem, especially if you do not use miners or lumberjacks. Alternatively, consider (Slope Combat Assist) [https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/Digitalroot/Digitalroots_Slope_Combat_Assistance/]'ı].

Wards and software are incompatible. Alternatively, you can use Better Wards.

It is slightly incompatible with Ward, as it treats workers as enemies and yeets.

Ideas for the future.

Adding mercenaries with backpacks.

Adding mercenaries to collect resources.
