Reverted Kill counter to not being continuous (to reduce potential lag). Use minimap 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.

Fixed a duplicate banner issue (Caliph Hamid and Sidonius Legatus). (-this needs a new game to take effect)
For players who like to have the original horse theme: There is an optional folder with original horses. It is in the folder named “Original Horse Textures v1.01”. In that folder are instructions on how to install the resource and textures to bring back some familiar old horse looks.
PoP 3.4 Changes
VI updates.
Raised training skills for lords and kings where needed. Raised AI Tactics skills in general.

No horses for anyone in village lord raids (before only the enemy AI had no horses).
Lord parties who are accompanying another party are a bit more courageous than before (they don't flee as easily).
Added Caba'Drin's Dynamic Groups code (thanks Caba'Drin!)
Jatu armies reduced in numeric strength slightly (because their raiders and lancers are harder to beat now).
Two additional Sarleon Barons have received household troops.

Reworked mercenary payment a bit (not as profitable as before).
A new tribe has joined the Mystmountains: The Bearclaw Berserkers! These highly agile berserkers in full Bearclaw Armor are rightfully feared in the North.

Kings will not accept vasselage of players who have a relatively high right to rule.
A new mercenary unit known as the Melitine Mercenary Lancer has been seen in taverns ... they are said to hail from Amala!

Changes from PoP 3.01 to PoP 3.02 Warband Version
New and updated items by Archangel
Updated scenes and additional item LODs by Sysyphe
Player kingdom management is Warband-style, with additional POP dialogs
The economy is a hybrid PoP/WB, with POP building improvements
Sarranids (6th kingdom) were removed, but their items are available in D'Shar stores
Bandit lairs populated with POP denizens
Additional companion dialogs and traits needed for Warband
Many troop and item stats were rebalanced
Prisoner Mgmt skill: lowered prisoners per point from 15 to 10
Map: moved several villages, so towns always have at least two of them
Adjusted spawning probabilities of minor factions to be more balanced (less Heretic armies, more Snake Warbands etc. - spawns should be more diverse now); added missing messages for 3 Seers, Eyegrim and Noldor lords spawning
Sorted most of the party templates (including kingdom reinforcements) to place stronger troops first (with some exceptions where strong troops appear at a later battle phase to make things interesting, like for Noldor Lords, Burilgi etc.)
AI garrisons sorted by troop level and real strength whenever they are reinforced or gain xp, archers biased by +25% (i.e. moved up), order troops moved down (-50%) so it's not impossible to siege an order town
Kingdom reinf. templates rewritten: more balance between kingdoms, kingdom parties get their Order troops like in 2.5
Tweaked down tax inefficiency
Disabled Warband renown reduction when renown is high
Halved speed of night fighting for every AI battle
Some Empire troops (Legionnaire, Noble Legionnaire Recruit, Gladiator, Immortal) changed to infantry, less spear-throwing (Empire parties autocalc values now more in line with the rest)
Siege AI updated to gauge prospects with POP autocalc (both while planning and while sieging) - i.e. AI more careful, likely to attack easier targets like castles and villages
Removed a set of duplicate banners
Fixed a WB bug that prevents the last prisoner troop of a certain type to escape (causing enormous prisoner lists in castles etc.)
Economy: WB bug fixed - symptoms were inflated prices and shortage of goods in stores; production of various goods rebalanced for POP (e.g. fish produced only in coastal villages and towns); boosted number of different goods in stores
Lords seem to defect to a single faction
Lords go on to siege castles recently captured by their own faction
Have fun!
