The pesants are in revolt!! Hundreds of them are rampaging over the countryside!! Not only that, but the rebellious Rhodoks have gotten their hands on a new weapon, the "Pistol", that they are using to devastating effect against all enemies. Where these weapons come from, nobody knows, but certain adventurers have recently gotten their hands on them, although they have yet to learn how to use them properly. Also, Rhodok infantry have taken on new heart and while still dressed in rags have begun to fight with the strength of demons!!

To install, just unzip the folder into your ModulesNative directory. This will overwrite the following files: item_kinds1.txt; Modules.ini; Scripts.txt; troops.txt and party_templates.txt. Originals for the latter three are also included and copying these back should revert the game to normal. A new game will need to be started for all features of this mini mod to be implemented.

Thanks to the excellent troops and items editor mods (must haves really...) for allowing me to do this and to TheMageLord on the forums for his excellent advice on modding party size scripts.

***Bug warning. If the player character uses a pistol (which will need to be taken from a companion), the ammunition will not replenish, even after the combat. The only way around this appears to be to give the ammo to a companion go into another battle. This seems to prompt M&B to replenish the ammo and you can retrieve it fully loaded after the battle. Kinda a pain, but then again firearms have never been a core part of the code.

[rule] File History[rule]This is a series of modifications that I've been using in my own game. They haven't been fully tested on 0.960, but should be OK. Feedback and critiques welcome!!
