Description/Features
If you think you have what it takes, participate in an exciting caravan tournament and compete against 5 unique opponents! Including different outcomes for winning, losing, and surrendering, there is 1-2 hour’s worth of content on offer, depending on your caravan skills. The opponents all have their own decks and strategies and prove to be quite a challenge even to the most experienced caravaneers. Alongside the prize pool of 20,000 caps and a special mystery item, there are many new unique caravan cards to collect, alongside a perk for collecting them all. Winning the tournament also grants you huge bragging rights and the completely superficial title of caravan master.


***These 2 things are very important; Don’t push Cas from her position, and do not quicksave while in the chair in the arena!!! You will most likely get softlocked or break something if you do either.***

FAQ

How do I start this mod?
Listen to the Crimson Caravan radio and follow the instructions, or just go to the Crimson Caravan.

How do I play caravan?
There are plenty of guides out there on how to play, I would highly recommend going to watch those instead of using Ringo's guide as it is terrible. There is actually an alright caravan explanation in-game however. It can be found when you press ESC and find a cool little button called “Help”, where you can cycle through all the tips until you reach the panels that describe caravan. Or here is my scuffed tutorial:

-Basically you have 3 columns, and each one must have at least one player be between 21-26. To win you must have a majority in 2 or 3 of those columns.
-Number cards are self-explanatory, but you can only go in descending or ascending order unless the cards are in the same suite
-Picture cards can go on any card on the field, including opponents
-King doubles a card value, jack takes a card away, and queen reverses the direction (ascending descending)
-You will never use aces or jokers if you're a new player and neither will the AI


I learned how to play caravan and the mod is still hard! What do?
It is supposed to be a little challenging, especially from the 3rd match onwards :) However to give actual advice, pick up all the cards you see in the mod, adapt and learn from your opponents.

A good deck I like to use personally is every number card from 5-10, a few jacks, and all kings.


Do you have a handy dandy collectibles guide?
Why yes I do; https://imgur.com/a/lkegM5n

Why is the FPS in the main hall not a stable 60?
It’s a known issue, just simply due to the volume of NPCs and assets in that interior. I’ve already cut it back a lot, so this is most likely the final version, I apologize for any inconvenience. 

Why is the prize 20,000 caps, that's way too much for me!

Install the optional file that gives a lower reward of 5,000 caps if you want to. Recommended for people who have economy mods or like having less money.

Why does the file say it’s a .esp but my mod manager says it’s an .esm?!

It is supposed to be an .esm, and it actually is, I don’t know why the file doesn’t reflect that. Also please do not try to change it since that will most likely break something.

Is this compatible with X mod?
This mod should be compatible with basically everything. If you find an incompatibility, please tell me in the comments. Same goes for any feedback, I would love to hear it! If something is found out to be incompatible, you’ll be able to find it below.

A small challenge to the most dedicated of caravaneers, try to beat this mod using only the default deck, without picking up any extra cards. Very difficult but possible.
