Simple mercenary spawning

[DSet]

Basically, I want to build a mod that, everytime a decision is taken:

* Spawns a mercenary company (using the create_title method)
* Sets it up according to one of the templates in 00_mercenaries
* Names the mercenary company (just like regular player created mercenaries do, I haven't quite figured out where it gets the name from yet)
*Vassalizes the mercenary company to the decision taker (the player in this case)

If it's possible, I'd like to also be able to change the cost and upkeep for the company without messing with the cost of all other mercenary companies in the definitions.lua. I haven't found anything indicating this is possible though, but if you know, tell me!

I've made some moderate progress messing with the exisiting "Organize the Varangian Guard" decision, as well as the create_title decisions but I've realized I'm probably going to need some help.

Thanks in advance!

Another thing; how do I ensure that a title is deactivated as the game starts? I tried copy pasting the "Organize varangian guard" decision to my own mod (with some small changes) but when I load the game, my custom mercenary company already exists! Taking the decision only replaces their commander and vassalizes them.

If you're adding titles to common\landed_titles, create a title history file in history\titles with the following line:

1.1.1 = { active = no }
