Skills

Chance to learn skills on enemy kill

When you kill an enemy, you have a chance to learn a weapon-type skill.

Once all weapon-type skills are learned, you can start learning skills from other weapon types.

After all weapon-based skills are learned, you will be able to learn certain monster skills, which may be overpowered or may not function correctly.

Enemy Scenarios

In game there are new events that happen randomly on world time change.

Currently enemies don't drop loot. Loot can be added by other mods with Loot Manager. Enemies can indeed cast spells and early on it is better to avoid them.

War Scenario

Spawns random faction groups that start fighting. Only appears in open world.

Ambush Scenario

Spawns random faction group. The only scenario that can happen in towns but only from 20:00 to 04:00.

Wanderer Encounter Scenario

Spawns random faction enemy.

Enemy Factions

There are total of 4 factions that can spawn and fight. Troglodytes, Bandits, Ghosts and Skeletons. They can use skills.

Seasons

Additionally 3 seasons are added.

Winter

Adds winter to other regions.

Foggy spirits

Cloudy mist season that makes very hard to navigate and each hour changes the fog density.

Great war

Each hour there is a chance you will encounter additional war/ambush/wanderer scenario or nothing.

Sideloader

I did add additional character AI classes. They work more as an example.
