Malik Faris's Companions and Native Enhancement Changelog
v.98 Character Development

Companion Changes
- Xin Tian, Jia and Rong dropped their surnames, Rong replaced with Yang, Yang has different look
- Balbanes, Zachary, Ruslan, Porziano, Bataar, Matin, Einar, Boadecia, Cordelia, Blanchefleur, Artemisia, Camilla, Agustina, Joan, Karn, Argan, Catherine, Edmund, Robert have had their base stats and skills recalculated and redone to reflect accurate level up rewards
- Ostanes, Jia, Tian, Yang, Bhagwandas and Windich starting levels lowered to reflect their specialist stats/skills and have had their base stats and skills recalculated and redone to reflect accurate level up rewards They're experts in their fields but nothing else, yet.
- Catherine's face actually customised. Before it was all default settings except hair color.
- Catherine, Robert, Edmund made into younger tier lords (lower levels)
- Dialog written for Malik Faris, Bhagwandas, Yareb.
- Karn and Argan no longer dislike each other, now only like each other
- Went through all the companions and readjusted their Lord Reputations, this affects whether they're nobles or not. Them being nobles is really only a concern if you want to higher lords from other kingdoms. I'm not gonna tell you who's what, but with some logical deduction you can make an educated guess.
- Recalculated the companions recruitment costs. The better equipped companions now cost more.

New Town Improvement
Orphanges
- A combo of a school and mill improvement like villages have, but for towns.

Foreigner Troop Tree Revised
- Foreigner troop tree now resembles regular faction troop trees.
- Can still recruit Foreigner Mercs from taverns, but only the middle tier units now.
- Foreigners have higher levels, weapon proficienes and skills than comparable faction units.
- Foreigners have a limited selection of weapons/armor.

Bug Fixes
- Swadia no longer at war with everyone at start of game
- Gave Miura Anjin more riding skill so he'll actually have his horse when you recruit him.

Minor Updates
- Updated the Talesworld thread with new pictures
- Companions will only complain about leaving once a week.

------------------------------------

Really, really, REALLY old change notes, some of this stuff got lost over time:

--------------------------------------

Version 0.961
- added 5 strong warrior archers
- added 4 tournament champion companions, you'll also see them in tournaments, wether they are in your party or not.
- added 7 blank-slate, character creation choice characters, they have the same potential you do.
- added the missing sword sister strong warrior companion.
- added deborah
- added to the introductions that were not unique for the mid-grade lords.
- gave the mid grade lords/knightly order lords unique faces, so they arent quite so cookie cutter.
- added the ability to buy ships at port towns, could be useful for trading from like say shariz to sargoth/rivacheg, might be faster/safer, boats move at a speed of 15. although there isnt much to do with a boat currently, i have some ideas to use those tiny islands along the coast.
- But with mercantile shiping comes pirates, so the seas arent completely safe, they vary in size, but you can also try to be a pirate hunter, as the pirates have various goods that you can take back from them, they are the largest bandit faction, kinda meant for endgame bandit hunting.
- Added two higher tiers to each bandit (forest,mountain,ect.), better equiped and skilled, but you wont encounter lots of them. easier for the player to find better gear off bandits now... sea raiders still strongest bandit faction.
- player troop tree now recruited from villages the player faction owns, currently not optional, gonna try to make it optional. credits topper.
- added/changed some items, new throwing short swords and throwing hammers, poleaxe and pole hammer work like hafter blades now (much better on horseback)
- MOAR BOOKS

Version 0.9601
- export/import companions added.

Version 0.96
- Knight Order companions now refer to the player as "Grand Master (playername)"
- All lord grade characters given proper/varying reputation types. Most are goodnatured/upstanding/benefactor/custodians/martial.
- Some lords & ladies finnaly have proper moralities, so they start to care if you do things they dislike.
- Agustina's backstory added.
- Can now recruit troops from tavernkeepers for money. Credits: Somebody & Ashmond
- Custom player faction only troops (only the player can recruit them currently), avaiable from tavern keepers.

Version 0.954

Version 0.953
- Merged knightly orders into main release.
- Custom titles back in

Version 0.952
- Compatiable with 1.131 native
- New companions now fall into proper groups when recruited, i.e. archers join the archer group, mounted companions join the cavalry group.


Version 0.951
- Added custom troop trees for miura and konrad/ulrich.
- Miura Anjin can recruit troops from a "foreign" country, but at a pretty slow rate, so he recruits some peasants from every faction to make up for his slow recruitment of the foreign troops, because otherwise it would take forever for him to have enough troops to actually venture out of a castle or town, because foreign troops are pretty strong and they already come fully upgraded.
- Added the 6 knightly orders of Calradia. And two representatives for each order, althought currently they are only clones of konrad and Ulrich.
- Konrad and Ulrich now belong to the Order of the Leopard knights.
- Added a cheat to that allows access to the new orders troops thru the tavernkeepers with cheatmenu enabled.(credits: Somebody)
- Custom titles were temporarily disabled, because they were causing peoples names to become whole paragraphs when made into lords *shrugs*


Version 0.95
- Miura Anjin has become a "midgrade lord," he has some leadership and tactics and such to be a "not complete shit" lord.
- Edgardo & Morana given backstory and dialog.
- 6 elites weapon proficiencies changed to match their influences (meaning melee guys dont have any archery skill and such)
- 13 more strong warriors
- 8 mid/midhigh grade lords, trying to test out custom lord titles, like howbunduk becomes "tribune bunduk"
- Companions lacking "proper" dialog, now have better generic dialog instead of just "a" or "signup" or "$$$"
- Added Camilla's backstory and changed her to better reflect her influences, now uses a bow&arrow instead of a pike&javelin and a wooden battle axe instead of a metal saranid one.
- Lowered Xin Jia's level to 30, as she is the most useless of the skill masters because her skill isnt passively active, only when you send her out to do stuff.
- Joan and Balbanes now have the title of "Marshall" when made lords.

Version 0.94
- Added Companion versions (copies) of each factions best unit/speciality (1 inf. 2 arch. 3 cav.)

Version 0.93
- Added the other lady lords. Will be completed over time.
- Lords have rivalries in a fashion i call the "circle of hate." By drawing a big circle around thru the factions as they appear on the map, you can see the two factions each lord hates. Not all the proper dialog has been added though.
- Lords and ladies now like their respective counterparts, i.e. swadia guy likes swadia girl and vice versa.

iconupdate

Rough list of what's been/planning to be worked on, basically it's just my active to-do list:

Refs and tools:
NOPE: {s5} = player kingdom name
Comment Convention: #Malik (what1) (what2) (end)


In no particular order:
DONE - 1. Update Knightly Orders in party_templates and scripts to not use old idea references. Teutonic > leopard.
2. Update forum thread with working pictures of characters, and general cleanup.
3. Look at original faction troop trees and decide if they need expansion.
4. Adjust player faction troop tree.
5. Prepare source files for implementation better. Improve #malik tags to describe what they include. Create implementaion documentation.
6. Tag strings properly for who say's what, actually alot of work having to go line by line, because they all say klethi currently.
7. Make 2 more companions for an even 80. Because it will make a better mod title. Probably 2 females because males outnumber females.
8. Make Ironflesh skill give .5 head, 1 body and .5 leg armor per level
DONE - 9. Make foreigners recruitable in taverns like mercenaries. Move Foreigners troops to mercenaries section
DONE - 10. Troops.py Raven Exectuiners
11. Wolf Faction Colors Wrong, is ravens, ravens is wolves
12. player recruits back to palyer
13. Einar and Boad armor upgrade
