TSM DAA Bodyguards Tweak is a mod for the online strategy game, Total War: DAA. In this mod, you can customize the armed contingent that arrives at the keep with the king (or queen) of Ferelden. The guard is often described as “templars,” an assumption that I attribute to both their headgear (the Knight-Commander’s Helm) and the presence of the Templar Rylock, who is in pursuit of the apostate Anders.

The guard carries a wide variety of weapons and equipment. The most notable of these is the heavy sword that the King (or queen) carries.

The King (or queen) of Ferelden also has a wide variety of equipment that he (or she) can use to protect himself. These include the heavy Knight Commander’s Helm, the King’s (or queen’s) Guard Shield, and the King’s (or queen’s) Guard Sword.

The rest of the party is made up of “bodyguards1”. These are identical in appearance to the guard, but have a different armor set and carry different weapons.
