Ever completed the Civil War Questline only to find that half of Skyrim's holds has lost its signature colors? Maybe you found the beautiful purple colored uniforms of Riften has been replaced by a sea of Imperial brown & red? Or maybe you found out that the lush Green uniforms of Markarth was completely replaced by generic Stormcloak Blue just to feed Ulfric's already-over-inflated ego? Well NO MORE! Each hold gets to keep their own unique themed uniform colors & unique hold shields with a symbol of their proud city painted on it! But of course, you still have to be remember the faction presence for the conquered holds, so the new guards will be outfitted with gauntlets & boots of their respective factions to show allegiance.



=== What this mod does ===

-Hold guards keep their unique uniform colors & hold shields when Cities gets transferred in Civil War questline

-New hold guards will wear gears that'll reflect their faction



In depth: This mod adds new outfit sets and replaces the generic Imperial/Stormcloak Uniforms for the Imperial/Stormcloak Hold Guards to the ones the previous hold guards carried, keeping their unique color & hold shields while not losing signifies of the ruling factions. Imperial Guards will wear Imperial Bracers & Boots, while occupying Stormcloak Guards will wear Stormcloak Officer's Gauntlets & Boots.



For example: An Imperial Guard occupying The Rift will wear Riften Guard's Armor, Helmet, Shields and Imperial Bracers & Boots, as well as wielding Imperial Swords & Imperial Bows. This method was inspired by the guards of Solitude. This is the best of the two worlds in my opinion and showcases the player's permanent changes to the world of Skyrim while not slapping you over the head.



=== What this mod DOES NOT do ====

It does not:

-Change Imperial/Stormcloak SOLDIER uniforms, it only changes the uniforms for the occupying Hold Guards. You won't see Stormcloak Soldiers wearing Markarth Hold Armor while fighting to take over a fort.

-Alter the Civil War Questline

-Delete anything

-Cause any conflicts(aside from the blatantly obvious)





=== Compatibility ===

This mod is fully compatible with pretty much everything, it has been tested to work with the Guard Helmets added by Immersive Armors, and it'll work with other guard armor, helmet replacers. If you've by some chance found something that it's not compatible with, tell me about it, or feel free to make a compatibility patch yourself and I'll credit it to you in my page!



=== "Is this lore-friendly?" ===

Yup, the new outfit for the hold guards was inspired by a hold that's already in the game(Solitude), and it makes sense for both faction to have the desire to not come off as too oppressive in the eyes of the local populace, especially true if their side of the civil war has won and new Jarls got installed.
