About this mod

Mannimarco as he should have been. Even though you had Traven\'s help, I was rather dissapointed how easy the almighty King of Worms could be defeated; so I decided to make him more of a challenge as well as look the part. Also his stronghold has been improved to look more fitting and sinister. No more damp cave, but a stronghold fit for the Kin

Mannimarco as he should have been. Even though you had Traven's help, I was rather dissapointed how easy the almighty King of Worms could be defeated; so I decided to make him more of a challenge as well as look the part.

Also his stronghold has been improved to look more fitting and sinister. No more damp cave, but a stronghold fit for the King of Worms!

The changes made by this Mod are:

1. Made changes to Mannimarco's abilities and gave him a unique combat style.
2. Increased the duration on the Staff of Worms from 30 seconds to 300 seconds.
3. Altered the 'Necromancer Chambers' to give it a more sinister appearance.
4. Added a lot of custom (lethal) spells for Mannimarco.
5. Added a new cell to the Arcane University; the Vault.
6. Altered Mannimarco's appearance and gave him an additional dialogue line prior to the battle.
7. Edited the voicefiles for Mannimarco's dialogue so he doesn't sound like a whining Altmer.
8. Mannimarco's throneroom can serve the player as a small home. Chests are safe to store goods.
9. New powerful servants: "Mannimarco's Chosen"
10. Some new and unique items, clothes and weapons.
11. ...and the list goes on and on... Just play the darn thing already :P



v1.0 Initial release
V1.1 Script issue that causes crashes after defeating Mannimarco fixed; including CharGen fix (thanks Stromgarde)

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

GENERAL NOTE: Because of an oversight this mod locks out the hair/eyes selection for other races when starting new characters. A fix has been released and has been added to the Update section. It can also be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14495

Also, some people may be experiencing problems with the scripts not triggering when you walk up to Mannimarco. In that case you may need to have Shivering Isles installed. Needs more confirmation though.

Lastly, you can only exit the door at the back of his lair if you have the regional borders (invisible walls) disabled. There are mods that change it for you but to change this yourself, simply edit the Oblivion.ini in Notepad and set the bBorderRegionsEnabled value to zero.
