Welcome to A New Dawn!

The goal of this mod is to considerably improve the Native game, through the use of Floris Mod Pack as a base, which is already a great improvement. Key changes are :

• []A much more active world, with dozens of new parties and factions fighting each other on the map. [/] []Bigger parties and armies, which also makes the game harder, especially at the beggining. [/] []3000 new and high quality items. [/] []Rebalanced item stats and skills. Armor is now much more protective, but also weighs more. [/] []500 new troops and a much wider troop tree. Each faction has several types of troops which all fill a specific role. [/] []11 new minor factions that roam the world. All of them can form armies and attempt to take a castle. If they succeed, a new faction will be formed and behave like the regular ones. There can thus be up to 17 factions at the same time (although such a high number is very unlikely). 12 new castle have also been added. [/]

Detailed features

Combat

[]Hit points have been increased for all troops (the player and his companions get increased hit points during battle, which aren't visible on their character sheet). Ironflesh gives 3 extra hp per skill level during battle for both the player and his companions. [/] []Armor protection and weight values have been increased. In addition to that, troops that use light armor get high agility and athletics values while heavily armored troops usually get very low values. This makes heavy troops much more resilient than before, but also much slower, especially compared to lighter soldiers. [/] []Crossbows take more time to reload but also deal more damage, in order to differentiate them a bit more from bows. The penetration rate against shields has also been increased and repeating crossbows (which deal lower damage) have been added. [/] []Pike weapons have lost the overhead attack. This makes bots using them much more effective in groups, especially cavalry.  [/] []The charge damage of armored horses has been significantly increased. Wounded horses move more slowly. Camels and elephants have been added! [/] []Troops are now more likely to flee when the battle is about to be lost. [/] [*]Formations can be used by both the player and the AI. Possible formations include wedge, square and shield wa
