📋 About This Mod
============================================== NazoX9\'s Guard Mod Version 1. 2 By:NazoX9 ============================================== INDEX: -> Requirements -> About this mod -> Installation -> Known Bugs & Issues -> Version History -> Contact Info ============================================== REQUIREMENTS: ============================================== Requires Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon ============================================== ABOUT THIS MOD: =============================================== One thing I always hated was how you would see a guard walking around with a shield, only to put it away and pull out a spear on you. There also just didn\'t seem to be a lot of variety in gear even though most was leveled. To fix this I leveled the guards, instead of the gear. All Imperial guard spawns in the game have been replaced with leveled lists that will spawn one of over 50 different guards. The differences you will see are not only in what they\'re wearing, and what weapons they have though. Be careful, because the guards could be the standard level 20, level 30, 40, or even a level 50 guard captain. There\'s also a chance you\'ll see female guards roming around. =============================================== INSTALLATION: =============================================== Extract the files into your data files folder, and enable it. You should notice the difference. =============================================== KNOWN ISSUES OR BUGS: =============================================== No known issues or bugs. =============================================== Version History: =============================================== 1. 1 Randomized faces and hair of all leveled list guards. 1. 2 Removed a test NPC I left in that was causing missing mesh errors. =============================================== Contact Info: =============================================== NazoX9 at beth forums.
