Native Bis

A different flavor for native. A bit more difficult than the original. Try it only if you're new to the game, otherwise you'll have a terrible feeling of deja vu. Feel free to post suggestions and bugs. Main Features _ Bug free (hopefully). _ Has no impact on framerate. _ Every item has been rebalanced. Most items have attribute or skill requirements. Lances and ranged weapons are deadlier. Food is dearer so traders have an advantage against warriors when it comes to upkeeping an army. _ Armor protection has been modified so that every blow inflicts some damage. Together with the item balance, this gives a more brutal experience on the battlefield. _ Harmless skills are more important thanks to various script tweaks. _ Characters and towns have been renamed. The 5 kingdoms are : The kingdom of Austrasie (swadians) with a cavalry based army focusing on crossbows, swords and shields. The kingdom of Vanaheimr (nords) with an infantry based army focusing on bows, axes and shields. The kingdom of Strathclyde (vaegirs) with a mixed army focusing on bows and claymores. The khanate of Chipchaq (khergits) with a cavalry based army focusing on bows and javelins. The republic of Romuli with a mixed army focusing on crossbows, shields and spears. _ New troops and troop trees for every faction. All done from scratch.
