Improved Camels and Larger Camels

INTRO

Camels are hard to obtain… they should be more fun to ride! Plus, camels can't jump so they definitely needed some sort of buff. Introducing... the "Improved Camels and Larger Camels" Mod, for all the camel-riders out there! Works well alongside "Camel Armor" mod. Greatly increases stats of all camels, making camels much more viable in battle - and more changes besides. Keep reading!

MOD FEATURES

• Camel Stat Improvements:

This mod improves stats of camels in the game such as speed, maneuverability, charge damage, and health/hp. See "CAMEL STAT CHANGE SUMMARY" section below.

• Camel Size Increase:

This mod increases Camel size slightly. Now, all camels tower over the lesser beasts :) Size is increased by 10%. If you do NOT want Camels to be larger, download the other version of my mod instead: "Improved Camels" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883767340

• Camel Names Overhaul:

Camel names have been changed, see "New Camels & Reasoning" section below.

NEW CAMELS & REASONING

[Old camel name] --> [New camel name]

1. Pack Camel (unrideable) --> NO CHANGE
2. Pack Camel (rideable) --> Feral Camel
3. Camel (from tournament) --> Prized Camel
4. Camel --> Dromedary Hybrid
5. War Camel --> Dromedary War Camel
6. Nahasa Camel --> Nahasa Camel
7. Husnphree --> Humphrey

WHY CHANGE THE NAMES?

In vanilla there are 7 types of camels, but only 5 unique names. In this mod there are still 7 types of camels, now with 7 unique names. As you can see, the devs added camels with the SAME name but DIFFERENT stats. For example, there are two "Camel" and two "Pack Camel", each type with differing stats. This is confusing, so the Improved Camels mod simplifies this by giving a unique name to each type of camel (7 names for 7 camel types). Also, who the heck wants to ride a Pack Camel? Phbbt.

VERSIONS OF THE MOD

This version of the mod comes with a 10% size increase for camels.

In previous iterations of the mod on NexusMods some people have commented that mounted combat on a camel is more challenging due to the larger camel size if using a shorter weapon. For this reason, camel size is now increased by 10% instead of the previous 15%. If mounted melee combat is still too difficult for you, go ahead and download the alternate version of the Improved Camels mod that keeps camels normal-sized: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2883767340

CAMEL STAT CHANGE SUMMARY

The stat changes below refer to BOTH versions of this mod. Again, the only difference between the 2 versions is the physical size of the camels.

1. Pack Camel (unrideable) was not changed.
2. Pack Camel (rideable) was upgraded to Feral Camel, in both name and stats. HP was also increased. You can obtain/buy the new "Feral Camel" anywhere you used to buy the old rideable "Pack Camel".
3. Camel (tournament) is now Prized Camel, and is now extremely fast and maneuverable - on par with some of the best horses in the game. On the other hand, HP and charge damage was only buffed slightly, and so HP and charge damage stats are low compared to other camels for the sake of balance.
4. Camel (regular) is now Dromedary Hybrid. As the name implies, it is a well-rounded beast. Better than the new "Feral Camel", but not as good as the new "Dromedary War Camel" and "Humphrey". You can obtain the Dromedary Hybrid the same way you used to obtained the regular Camel (non-tournament) in vanilla (Defeating Jawwal in battle, for example).
5. War Camel is now Dromedary War Camel. Almost all stats have been improved (especially charge damage & speed) so this is now a proper beast of WAR. You can obtain Dromedary War Camel the same way you used to obtain the War Camel in vanilla (Defeating Jawwal in battle, for example).
6. Nahasa Camel was a new camel recently added by TaleWorlds. With this mod it remains the fastest and most maneuvarable camel in the game, but in my opinion is still only the 2nd-best camel overall; It has slightly higher speed and maneuvarability compared to Humphrey, but less HP than Humphrey and less charge damage than even the Dromedary Hybrid! Also the riding lvl requirement is higher than Humphrey.
7. And finally, Husnphree is now Humphrey (come on, we were all thinking it). He still remains the BEST camel in the game (best charge damage, HP, overall stats), and you can still only obtain him from tournaments in Aserai towns. No reason NOT to ride Humphrey, unless your riding level is too low. On that note, the riding level requirement (for Humphrey and all other camels) can be changed in the "items.xml" file in the mod folder :)
