Description
===========

A race expansion for enemy NPCs

Details
=======

This mod started out from a simple �Hey, wouldn�t it be nice if I didn�t run into one of the same five bandits every twenty feet?� Alas, my mods are like fishing
stories, they get bigger with each revisiting. Because �why can�t we have more than three faces for the dark elf bandit archers?� became �why is it that dark elves
are only allowed to be bandit archers?� And for that matter, why don�t conjurers allow anyone other than Bretons and Altmer to join their ranks? Surely there is at
least one Dunmer in Cyrodiil who dreams of an illustrious career as a bandit hedge wizard, squatting in desolate ruins and camps, and hurling fireballs when some
hapless hero stumbles in. Talk about racist hiring practices.

To this end, this mod diversifies the races that can appear as certain types of enemy NPCs. Bandits, marauders, sorcerers, necromancers, and vampires have all been
expanded to better reflect Cyrodiil's ethnic distribution and according to each race's most prominent abilities. As a macro-example of what I mean: combat-inclined
races like Nords will still be overrepresented in warrior roles, but may appear as magic or stealth-inclined classes too. In another example, generic necromancers
only consisted of High Elves and Bretons in vanilla, but now all other races will appear amongst their ranks, but with Dunmer and Imperials dominating. And in a last
example, the only vampire rogues that appeared in the vanilla game were Redguards, but now other races can appear as vampire rogues, with Khajiit and Imperials
predominating. Also, beast-race vampires will now appear int he game, since vampire Argonians and Khajiit were missing from the base game.

Version 1.1 makes some minor tweaks and bug fixes. See the Change Log for details.
