Hello Nexus!

Here is the Alpha version of Explorer!  This mod completely overhauls the game - some things have been reintroduced from Native, but many systems were built entirely from scratch.

The most notable feature:

No overland map.

To get around, just walk up to the edge of the map:

To help you get around, you are also given a map, a compass, and even the ability to fly...

Features:

  • []New shaders and weather effects: Moving clouds, variable wind, fog, and rain; dynamically changing weather.

    []Named companions: Every NPC you recruit becomes a companion with their own name, stats, inventory...

    []Player revive: If the player is killed, you will respawn as one of your companions and must retrieve the banner from your corpse. If a companion is killed while you are controlling them, they will die permanently.

    []NPC permadeath: Names NPCs can also be killed by other named NPCs. So, if one of your companions kills eg King Harlaus, he will be dead permanently. As a player, you can also hunt down and kill enemy lords and named captains!

    []Worldmap terrain borders: To help find your way around, the entire worldmap is visible, with correct position tracking for the player. Watch distant mountains grow with your approach, use the land to navigate!

    []Distant parties: Castles, Towns, and Villages can be seen on the map as well. You will even see smoke/fire if the place is under attack/looted!

    []In-game worldmap: Press M to bring up a simple map overlay. You can use this to check the position of known locations, and also to see the path you've taken.

    []Join a faction by talking to any king or vassal. Then, you can participate in village raids and siege attacks on your enemies!

    []Dynamic party encounters: Party positions and destinations are tracked from the worldmap. Watch parties travel, follow them on their journey
