SSE Imperial/Stormcloak overhaul

[DoctorKaizeld]

Anyone have a good suggestion for an overhaul for the two main factions? I just watched a 16 vs 16 fight between the two factions and it was sad to watch the imperials mow down the Stormcloaks and only losing 5 of their own in a matter of seconds.

 

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a good overhaul for the two (even individual mods that go well together) to try and even out the two sides a little bit?

Not really a balance mod, but this is something I always try to include in my playthroughs.

Basically just makes the Hold guard re-use the Hold uniform after takeover of a city.

I use a combo of population mods, some of which include Imperials and Stormcloaks, but I believe it's Immersive Patrols which usually has fairly large battles. I see them most often on the road between Whiterun and Rorikstead, in the Granite HIll area, and along the mountain path between Helgen and Ivarstead. Sometimes the Imperials clean house. Sometimes the Stormcloaks do, and sometimes it's a draw. I don't know how Scrabbulor set things, if there's a win decided on spawn, or just depends on how many of them happen to wander to the battle in time to make a difference.

 

You might have some luck just going into CK and finding the leveled characters that most of the soldiers and guards use as templates, and make sure they have the same stats, combat styles, and perks.

Eh probably will. I coulda sworn there was a mod for this but I must be mistaken. Ah well

I haven't really found a good mod that overhauls both the imperial and stormcloak soldiers without...issues.
Right now I am using:

Guards Armor Replacer SSE https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22671
It improves the armor and weaponry for the guards of every city, regardless of alignment, as well as the stormcloak rebels.

Also:

Lore Weapon Expansion SE https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9660
Frankly HD Imperial Armor https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20848
The weapon expansion allows Imperial soldiers to occasionally equip better weapons and generally improves variety. The latter mod is just for aesthetics.
