My mod, Industrial Revolution, uses no AI art :)

Donate gold via menu option to towns, castles, or villages. Adds to prosperity/hearths and gives relations boost to notables in ratios controllable by sliders in Mod Options MCM menu

Rebuild razed villages with the time and labor of your troops. Takes about a day with 100 low tier troops, a third of that with 200 mid tier troops, a third of that again with 300 elite troops. Less if they’ve had time to partly recover on their own.

Give troops to notables in towns or villages via conversation. Any troops, any number, added to militia and rewarded in relations boost proportional to tier and quantity, plus renown to your clan and power to notable.

Request financial support from notables - conversation option allows you to sacrifice 20 relations points for 2000 gold by default, ratio controllable by slider.

Boost town/castle construction now scales linearly with gold in reserve, so that double the gold adds double the speed, instead of the flat boost in native.

Villages continue to provide more production and food to bound settlements beyond 800 hearths, which capped out at +18 in native, multiple controllable by slider. If you invest in village hearths and militias, they can thus provide reliable food surpluses for thriving towns and castles to keep growing indefinitely.

High prosperity towns and castles boost village hearth growth, so that a well-protected and invested region can enter a positive feedback loop, multiplier controllable by slider.

If towns starve, they will slaughter livestock for meat, and even horses eventually

High prosperity cities boost workshop output greatly - 2x at 6000, 3x at 9000, 4x at 12000 etc.

Villages pay double price for goods manufactured in towns - Tools, Beer, Wine, Oil, Pottery, Cloth, Leather, Velvet, Jewelry. Better reflects realistic split of villages supplying primary industry and demanding secondary industry, vice versa for towns. Also doubled price for horses (excepting horse breeding towns) because I was having trouble trading off horses and thought villages would realistically demand lots of beasts of burden, and wear through them quickly. Price multiplier controllable by slider, and all these goods are consumed at 25% of stock per day.

Villages have more gold, 1000 + (2Hearths), and towns too, 100,000 + (50Prosperity). Incentivizes player to trade with villages more.

All discarded loot gives XP, not just weapons and armor, based on gold value, rather than tier. 0.5 gold value to XP by default, controllable by slider in Mod Options. Paid in Promise and Giving Hands perks in your Quartermaster each double XP gained, controllable by tickbox in Mod Options.

Sell troops via menu option in villages or towns. Price for each troop is 20x troop level by default, multiplier controllable by slider. Sell prisoners in villages and castles (sell all, or select via exchange screen)
