Description:

La Chant du Draco is a compilation of several open source mods, intended to make Calradia more Dark Age-themed. Main changes include the removal of crossbows and heavily armoured horses. and of course the corresponding changes to the units.

The only thing I haven't changed (yet) is the crossbow you get at the start of the game. I have searched but the only way I can find to alter this is by using Python and that seems way to complicated (for me at least). I am after all not an experienced modder.
