-GandalfTheGrey
Squire
Version 4.0 :
An de Grâce 1371, already thirty-four years of War in France...
Features :
Everything that was in the previous versions (except Laura), plus...
Completely new unit trees.
Whole new map.
New map icons.
Recieve rewards as you progress in the hierarchy.
New models and textures, including Luigi's helmets and RR_Raptor65's Weapon Pack.
Arena Expansion 1.6 included.
Savegames from Native or from previous versions are not compatible.
The mod is fully self-contained and therefore doesn't affect the vanilla module.
Note that HYW 4.0 is a 'mere' conversion of the vanilla Mount&Blade at the moment, since I wanted to release it before my departure. It will be completed later with several updates such as improved textures, strategic war system, castle owning, extra quests, new items, new heroes, bonus-giving troops and much more.
Download here (Unofficial Repositiory, WinZip needed) or here (FileFront). .
Make sure to download the Music Patch for the mod. Tracks from Kings and Kingdoms by Edgen (Justin R. Durban).
Have fun.

Version 3.0 for M&B 0.711 :
An de Grâce 1353, already sixteen years of War in France...
New features :
New models created by Raz & Assyrian, including helmets, banners and weapons.
A third recruitable hero in Nantes, and the possibility to recruit the marquis Jacques in Brest under certain conditions...
Both French and English heraldric armor included in game.
An enemy hero, Aymerigot Marchès, who appear if you reach the rank before grandmaster-knight.
Town centers for all the cities, each being different from the others, and new names for taverns.
Slave traders in Amiens and Clermont.
Slightly modified map with new icons from Thorgrim.
New interfaces and backgrounds + custom font.
Fixed bug with French noblemen.
Fixed balance issues.
An easter-egg !
The mod is fully self-contained and therefore doesn't affect the vanilla module.
Version 3.1 :
Backgrounds removed, except for the main menu.
Font improved, more flowing.
Laura's bug fixed.
3.0 savegames compatible.
Version 3.2 :
RR_Raptor65's Weapon Expansion 3.5 added. I didn't change the weapons stats, it'll be done in version 4.
The new weapons have been given to the French and English troops (melee and mounted), not the brigands. It might also alter the balance and make low-level troops harder to kill.
Savegames from 3.0/3.1 should be compatible, but the weapons won't appear immediately, and your army will keep the old equipment unless you hire new men.
