Lead Intro from Site[]
Sword of Damocles is most complex and advanced kingdom management mod. It does not simply add player's kingdom and lords under his command but it also tries to simulate kingdom management by adding population to fiefs, health, ability to create laws, reworking economy and adding new buildings.

Detached Regiments[]
Troops in your party can be split off into their own map unit and assigned independent tasks ranging from just following you to patrolling areas. Unlike AI lords, the regiment tends to perform as ordered until retrieved or defeated. One side benefit to this system is increased party map speed (since some of your troops are in the regiment). A drawback is that each party may be defeated independently, a possibility made more likely by the smaller party sizes.
Bandit Progression[]
Bandits in Sword of Damocles upgrade into more specialized versions. With very reasonable wages they fill out garrisons and armies very cost effectively.
