SUMMARY:

     The bandits have organized and taken over the (new) 27 watchtowers along the Sea of Ghosts coast from Solitude to the East of Skyrim.  With the civil-war raging, soldiers cannot be spared to reclaim them.  It is up to you to make a difference.



FEATURES:

     Over 100 hours from the SoT team have been poured into this mod.  It was meant to be a simple patch and ended up growing into a full mod.....yeah.  What you get includes the following:

     1. Expertly navmeshed by moose109. (Please lavish kudos on the man. The towers had zero navmesh, so followers could not enter and bandits could
not hang out in them. They were empty shells.)  However, there is a place still for the original mod.  The empty abandoned towers were creepy and added atmosphere, a sense of history and a time long past.  However, if action, adventure, and loot call you, then this is for you.

     2. Each of the 27 towers will be populated by Genesis bandits, as per standard Genesis functions.  Where they are placed will always be different to keep it fresh and interesting. 8 additional towers that came with vanilla Skyrim have also been sotomized, though no clutter.  An MCM toggle is provided for the 8 towers to leave them alone if so wished. 

     3. Each tower treasure chest may or may not be present. Bandits move them around now to make recovery harder.  There is a good chance of additional stolen loot in the towers though usually heavily protected with bandits and traps.

     4. Moose109 lovingly and carefully added clutter.  He is extremely talented and a valued SOT Team member.  Presently at work on the unofficicial dlc Awake The Rise of Mannimarco

     5. Pirates often arrive to reinforce bandits.  There is a hidden arrangement to help each other when attacked.  This is how they were able to take over the towers so swiftly.

     6. Simple MCM menu will let you disable the pirates and has a second toggle to stop the pirates from arriving unless the player is out of combat.

     7. Available add on that makes all 27 towers Radiant Quest compliant and can be used by game for quests. This same add on also provides maps and
buried treasure.
