Update Nov. 24, 2023: Updated mod to ensure compatibility with newest version of the game.
===
Camels are hard to obtain… they should be more fun to ride! Plus, camels can't jump so they definitely needed some sort of buff. "Improved Camels" is completely save game compatible - you can add/remove this mod at any time without any issues.
Improved Camels mod highlight (YouTube) (outdated video, but some relevant info)
Works well alongside Camel Armor mod and Camel Troops & Aserai Overhaul mod. Just make sure my mods are at the BOTTOM of your mod load order, otherwise they will not work. Video explanation here (outdated video, but maybe still useful)
CAMEL SIZE INCREASE (Optional)
___________________________________
This mod increases Camel size slightly. Now, all camels tower over the lesser beasts :)
Size is increased by 10%. If you don't want larger camels, you can download the 2nd file in the downloads page.
Compatible with my "Larger Horses" mod.
CAMEL STAT INCREASE
___________________________________
This mod improves stats of camels in the game such as speed, maneuverability, charge damage, and health/hp. See "CAMEL STAT CHANGE SUMMARY" section below.
NEW CAMELS & REASONING
___________________________________
[Old camel name] --> [New camel name]
1. Pack Camel (unrideable) --> NO CHANGE
2. Pack Camel (rideable) --> Feral Camel
3. Camel (from tournament) --> Prized Camel
4. Camel --> Dromedary Hybrid
5. War Camel --> Dromedary War Camel
6. Nahasa Camel --> Nahasa Camel
7. Husnphree --> Humphrey
Why change the names?
CAMEL STAT CHANGE SUMMARY
___________________________________
The stat changes below refer to BOTH versions of this mod. Again, the only difference between the 2 versions is the physical size of the
camels.

MOD CONFLICTS (Video Explanation & Solution)
___________________________________
If the mod is extracted to the correct folder but nothing seems to have changed in game, most likely another mod is conflicting. In this case, just make sure that ImprovedCamels mod is at the bottom of your mod load order so its settings will take affect! See this Video Explanation.

Why change the names?
Spoiler:
In vanilla there are 7 types of camels, but only 5 unique names.
In this mod there are still 7 types of camels, now with 7 unique names.
As you can see, the devs added camels with the SAME name but DIFFERENT stats. For example, there are two "Camel" and two "Pack Camel", each type with differing stats. This is confusing, so the Improved Camels mod simplifies this by giving a unique name to each type of camel (7 names for 7 camel types). Also, who the heck wants to ride a Pack Camel? Phbbt.

- Pack Camel (unrideable) was not changed.
- Pack Camel (rideable) was upgraded to Feral Camel, in both name and stats. HP was also increased. You can obtain/buy the new "Feral Camel" anywhere you used to buy the old rideable "Pack Camel".
- Camel (tournament) is now Prized Camel, and is now extremely fast and maneuverable - on par with some of the best horses in the game. On the other hand, HP and charge damage was only buffed slightly, and so HP and charge damage stats are low compared to other camels for the sake of balance.
- Camel (regular) is now Dromedary Hybrid. As the name implies, it is a well-rounded beast. Better than the new "Feral Camel", but not as good as the new "Dromedary War Camel" and "Humphrey". You can obtain the Dromedary Hybrid the same way you used to obtained the regular Camel (non-tournament) in vanilla (Defeating Jawwal in battle, for example).
- War Camel is now Dromedary War Camel. Almost all stats have been improved (especially charge damage & speed) so this is now a proper beast of WAR. You can obtain Dromedary War Camel the same way you used to obtain the War Camel in vanilla (Defeating Jawwal in battle, for example).
- Nahasa Camel was a new camel recently added by TaleWorlds. With this mod it remains the fastest and most maneuvarable camel in the game, but in my opinion is still only the 2nd-best camel overall; It has slightly higher speed and maneuvarability compared to Humphrey, but less HP than Humphrey and less charge damage than even the Dromedary Hybrid! Also the riding lvl requirement is higher than Humphrey.
- And finally, Husnphree is now Humphrey (come on, we were all thinking it). He still remains the BEST camel in the game (best charge damage, HP, overall stats), and you can still only obtain him from tournaments in Aserai towns. No reason NOT to ride Humphrey, unless your riding level is too low. On that note, the riding level requirement (for Humphrey and all other camels) can be changed in the "items.xml" file in the mod folder :)

INSTALLATION
___________________________________
- Download the mod into your Bannerlord's Modules folder. (see section below if you have trouble finding this)
- Extract the mod (with 7-zip or a similar software).
- Enable the mod in the Bannerlord launch menu, like you would with any mod. Improved Camels mod is now enabled and you can now enjoy riding the SUPERIOR beast on the battlefield!
- If you have any trouble with installation, please refer to my (outdated, but maybe still useful) video installation guide. The video is for my other mod (Camel Armor), but the installation instructions remain the same.

TIPS AND TRICKS
___________________________________
- Mod highlight video (YouTube) - OUTDATED VIDEO - but might be useful if curious
- Is your camel dying too frequently in battle? Give the Camel Armor mod a try as well! I use both of these mods.
- If you are playing with my Camel Troops & Aserai Overhaul mod enabled, this mod indirectly gives Aserai a (small) buff. My Aserai overhaul mod now includes recruitable Camel Lancers and Camel Archers for Aserai. These units ride Dromedary War Camels and Humphrey camels, and since these camels were buffed, these new camel units are slightly more effective :)
Having a hard time finding Humphrey/Hunsphree? Install the "Settlement Icons" mod so you can see all ongoing tournaments at the same time. Video guide here.(outdated)
