Version 586

Tempered's Entrenchment Kit - allows you to camp and entrench your troops.
dstemmer's Command Cursor minimod has been incorporated. Now you can direct your troops more easily. A godsend in sieges.
Assassins! Tired of getting ambushed by boring old bandits? Now other lords will hire assassins from time to time. As you gain power, tougher assassins will be sent after you.
In the spirit of retaliation, you may also send assassins after other lords.
You'll also be able to hire mercenaries to hunt lords down and annihilate their armies.
Lots of beautiful new horses for the aspiring noble.
New weapons, including maces, morningstars and lances.
A travelling minstrel, who will commemorate your great deeds through song.
Dark Knights have been given a buff and are no longer a pushover; they are more agressive and you'll need tenacity and leadership to overcome them.
New armours for the DKs.
Special weapons have been rebalanced, so it's no longer a chore to wield the Nordhammer and others.
Some bugs fixed, etc.
