Llan Forfael (Zamoshie) quest revised extensively. It has three quests. If you fail at persuading the Lord (need Pers at 7 or so to get even random change at success), you need to pay about a 40% larger tax. Success gets you bow 1. The Salt quest changed to tool quest. The local bandits are more dangerous and you’ll need a minimum of 40 warrior at normal combat to beat them. Beating them and going back to the elder yields
Iniau quest: Made some changes to make it less likely to turn into loop. You need to talk to the King of Rheged “Warrior to warrior.” You’ll need 60 warriors at normal combat to beat them. The reward is much larger considering that it involves defeating a large party of medium infantry and winning the battle in the Northern Cave. The reward includes the best battle horn in-game with 5 blasts.
(There is a bug in the Iniau quest that you can’t remove: If you complete it and ask him again it will launch another quest that you can’t complete without using cheats and getting the item at place 1391.)
Cado quest: I didn’t change this other than making his war party smaller. The point of him should now be to use him as a mercenary outpost for his excellent Cantabrian warriors. They have better armor and boost Tracking by 3 if there are 6 or more and by 2 if you have at least 2 of them.
Neko quest improved dialog and the reward is the best shield in the game. It seems to work fine if you knock Neko out, which is what I usually do no matter what I try. There were reports of a bug here, but I can’t replicate it. Anyways, Neko’s party is upgraded and more dangerous. Neko’s spear is the best in-game and you can recover it with looting. You’ll need 60 level 23 warriors at normal combat to beat them. If you go back, Cerdic will give you an outstanding and unique Cantabrian Shield.
Gae bolga quest moved to the Dun Tuaro merchant. She gets angry if you guess wrong, so be prepared to write things down and come back another day. This quest may have to start with you speaking to Tiern_Clydno_map_Ynyr_Farfdrwch of Fortiu, not the dude over in Ireland.
Make Peac with Kingdoms: Decreased time between make peace requests from 120 to 25. However, it costs 20% more to pay off lords. Wait time for another similar quest reduced 100 days to 25 days.
Reasoning: You can only afford this if your party is well-developed. Once you reach this state, ther are only about 100 days before one is ready for independence.
this is the primary renown quest.
Arrian quest: changed dialog. Made their party about 50% stronger. I can’t figure out from the code where the quest starts. But you need to find a character named Ulcagnus who appears to be in the tavern at Caer_Ligualid. The party will be near Ynys Manaw and will now have 15-20 Irish veteran troops. The prize is the Vulga Bible which is +2 persuasion now.
Special Weaponsmiths: Left unchanged from last week. Let me know if his deals are too good now.
Changed menu so you can know what your buying without grab-bag approach.
Dux Gold quest: Reduced armor of this helm. It still looks great, but it’s not right that it’s so easy to obtain this helm. Strong helms needed to have a faceguard. You can get those helms now from the special armorer. I may add another helm to one of the bandit outposts in the future.
Kidnapped girl request yields more XP even though the gold payout stays low. I tried to double the gold reward, but I’m still getting just 200. Remember to tell them "You will get nothing" or you will lose half of the reward. I tried to make her location less distant, but I’m not sure if it worked.
Village Elders: If you refuse a request, you should be given another. Villages at a relation of +10 are now 10% more likely to give you level 2 trooops.
Bug fix: Active quest checking.
