Litus is a module designed to enhance gameplay and features of the warband expansion of Mount & Blade. It includes improved siege scenes, new armour textures, new items, faction balancing and a lot more fun!

This module is tested SOLELY in Warband. I wouldn't recommend using it for a native installation.

Until the module kit comes out I will primarily be focusing on gameplay corrections and changes to help offset some of my personal opinions of shortcomings in the game. Things may change as new versions of warband come out.

Installation Instructions:

Simply unzip the file and copy the folder into your Modules/ directory of your warband installation. Then you select Litus as the module of choice in the title screen.
