Note: Prophesy of Pendor v3.411 works only with Mount and Blade: Warband version 1.143 3.

42 Save game compatible with PoP 3.411 - Adjusted the following shields' sizes: Anaconda Shield, Netherworld Shield, An cient Engraved Shield. - Made the Empire Princeps Armor available in armor stores (low abundance). - Wages for ranged troops with lvl30 or higher has been increased by 33%. - More re-balancing of trade good items. - Agressiveness and Initiative for lords following another lord have been increa sed. - The formula for getting a fief when asking for it for player vassals has been modified. Now it caps the player's renown to about 1300 to 1700 when the player asks for a center he/she captured. If the player didn't capture the center then the player renown is capped at 1000 to 1400. This makes it so that other lords w ill be getting centers if the player already has some centers, despite the playe r having a lot of renown. It also makes it possible for the player to revolt mor e often and prevents the player from growing too powerful when being a vassal. O ther factors that will decrease the capped value are: Player Right-to-Rule and P layer Controversy (- both of these are subtracted from the cap value to lower th e capped value). - Fixed a native issue in dialogs when talking about replacing marshals. - Reworked lairs. They now get reinforced with boss troops too. The boss troops are strong. The Red brotherhood lair (aka treasure map location) now has guildsm en as regular troops. The Snake Cult shrines have snake cult armsmen as regular troops. This also makes the initial rescue mission a bit harder because the boss troops there are also affected. The starting merchant will recommend you to hir e some troops with experience and good equipment. The boss troop change needs a new game to take effect but they won't mess up anything in your current save gam e so it is save game compatible. The new bosses also bring in new loot with them . - Tournament equipment: Daggers are now replaced with clubs for archers (foot an d mounted). The lance wielders and javelineers are now equipped with clubs as se condary weapons. - Fixed a bug in the Ghost lady quest. - Updated graphics resources with the work of Four_Leaf_Clover: This improves a large number of items' reflections to be less glossy and to be more optimized. 3.411 Not Savegame compatible with 3.41 - Fixed Red Brotherhood chest. - Reverted Kill counter to not being continuous (to reduce potential lag). Use m inimap on/off to get the kill counter to display if it does not. - Changed the economy to PoP3.4 (and fixed missing items that would occur in WB 1.143). This causes save game incompatibility with PoP3.41. - Changed Pendor Cavalry from level 30 to level 20 (to fix upgrade issue). - Removed defeating Noldor lords from victory conditions (- now you can win whil e the Noldor Lords are on the map). - Increased bulk item purchases penalties a little (and the same for selling bul k of the same kind). - Rebalanced how merchants stock their inventories, especially goods merchants. - Fixed Red Brotherhood to sometimes offer Bearclaw Berserkers. - Fixed the requirements of a certain bow. - Adjusted the cost of the mill and brewery enterprises. - Removed player supporter faction restriction on certain new items like Ebony w eapons, Ranger armor, etc. - Cavalry in other groups than the default cavalry group are now also affected b y the initial mount order (to counter game engine's dismount order). - Rebalanced noble recruits generation a bit (it will cap out a bit more so you don't get exceedingly many per week). - Relationship needed for lords to join is now:

Relationship needed for lord to want to join = 15 + campaign difficulty modifier (5 for medium and 10 for hard) - player persuasion skill + lord type (10 if duk e and 0 otherwise) + number of castles for the lord's faction + (2 * number of t owns for the lord's faction) - min(number of Pendor castles,5) - min(number of P endor Towns,3) 3.41 NOT SAVEGAME COMPATIBLE with 3.4 - Ported to Warband version 1.143 and included all fixes and new achievements th at it includes (adapted to PoP where needed). - Fixed Maiden Ranger having lower skill in archery than crossbows. - Fixed a village issue that existed when a lord joins your faction but fails to bring over his holdings. - Fixed Melitine Lancers not using their lances. - Fixed units not switching from lances to melee correctly (when there are 3 nea rby enemies). - Fixed Bearclaw shield being too abundant in loot after battling Mystmountain w arriors and shamans. - It is now possible to gain the two unique items in the game (through dialog). - Fixed issue where companions promoted to lords/ladies would not wear their pla yer assigned equipment. - Siege scene in Valonbray is fixed (by Abhuva). - Fixed the character menu report to report the correct prestige cost for honor troops. - Changed starting renown for companion promoted Lords/Ladies (lvl*28, capped at 1000). - Fixed the low cost of the Empire Old Shield (- this may need a new game to tak e effect). - Fixed an issue where a player could recruit troops higher than level 40 after a battle. - Talking to a lord at a feast when there is no host has been fixed. - 37 Lords have had their faces updated to unique and appropriate faces. - Heretic Magnus has had his bow and quiver replaced with throwing spears - Maiden Adventurer had a weapon switch out (bastard sword became Claymore). - Warhammers now have the same swing/thrust functions as Polehammers. - If the player is betrothed he will not get any orders to join the army (if he' s a vassal) until he's married or ends the engagement. - Added a PoP game menu option where you can make it so lords can never bring ov er their holdings to your faction if you turn this option on. - Fixed a duplicate banner issue (Caliph Hamid and Sidonius Legatus). - Modified sally forth ammo script to trigger with a small delay (- before it co uld trigger too early). - Fixed lance switching to keep drawn bows. - Horse merchants get 5 to 10 horses every week (the other merchants have also b een updated to comply with WB patch 1.143). - Fixed the no parry issue with ravenstern battleaxe and knight war axe. - Reworked ghost lady quest to no longer use a random lady as mistress (- now it is a new lady named Morwena).

Plus various other small fixes. - Reworked some items regarding different aspects such as price, requirements, e tc. - The kill counter will no longer stay invisible after using the Esc key or open ing the battle chest. - Sarleon Armored footman has been given a morningstar instead of warhammer (- d ue to these soldiers always knocking out enemies because of their previous blunt weapon). - Lords joining the player via relationship has been reworked. Before they would join if their relationship was 20 or greater. Now it is according to this formu la:

Relationship needed for lord to want to join = 15 + campaign difficulty modifi er (5 for medium and 10 for hard) - player persuasion skill + lord type (10 if d uke and 0 otherwise) + number of castles for the lord's faction + (2 * number of towns for the lord's faction) - Snake cult lairs are guarded by snake cult armsmen instead of snake cult follo wers now. - Honorable lords do not gain as much bonus from player honor as they used to ge t. - Tournaments can only be entered if you have garnered some renown. - It is possible to acquire more unique items now. - Defection has been reworked a bit (lords with fiefs gain bonus relations with their liege during convergence according to a small base value and bonus from fi efs. For lord convergences between each other the convergence is like before.

3.4 (NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE): - VI updates. - Raised training skills for lords and kings where needed. Raised AI Tactics ski lls in general. - Nuanced troops and companions (they used to have the same proficiency in all w eapons, now they don't).

This is a bug fix. - The faction kings hired Mercenary parties have higher initiative values. - Lords no longer automatically bring over their holdings to the player faction when they change allegiance to the player faction.

The POP Dev Team Personal note from MadVader: Despite having plenty of fun porting and developing POP 3.2, I'm retiring from m odding into real life. As the Gods of Pendor would usually have it, the right pe rson showed up at the right time, so Treebeard will carry the coding torch from now on. I wish him and the POP team best of luck in creating the next release. I'd like to thank the excellent people on the POP Dev Team and the loyal POP fan s for pushing POP to the next level. Special thanks to Saxondragon for showing m e what game design is about.
