Destriers - Horses Redone

Destriers adjusts horse stats and distributes unique traits to many horses to make them genuinely unique. Some traits may be trivial while others are significant and vice versa, but now with different attributes for each of different horses, they will become your unique and special companion. Prepare to mourn for lost ones.

Features

General Changes

Horse stats, which were quite arbitrary in vanilla, are now normalized.

Health: 200
Stamina: 200
Carry Weight: 200
Attack Damage: 10

(There are few exceptions to these stats, like Shadowmere.)

Health is lower than vanilla and Stamina is higher, and Carry Weight is significantly lower(which was 999 in vanilla). Attack Damage is same as vanilla.

But this doesn't necessarily mean that their viability is worse and mobility better; as their Base Health Regeneration has been increased from 1 to 2 and Base Stamina Regeneration decreased from 10 to 6.

This means that while horses will recover damage significantly faster, but you'll have to avoid them taking serious damage in a short period of time.

Furthermore, some horses have traits that affect these, as described below.

Traits

Every horses for sale and unique horses has been given beneficial or detrimental traits.

Summoned horses haven't been given any traits.

Cavalry Add-On

To implement some effects I wanted to give some of the horses, I utilized my previous mod, Cavalry - Comprehensive Mount System.

This changes some of horses' traits.

Spoiler:

Show

Hearthfire Falkreath Horse: Rider's Health Regeneration is increased by 50%, but horse's Carry Weight is decreased by 50.
Hearthfire Morthal Horse: Animals won't attack nor flee while riding, but Movement Speed is 15% slower.
Frost: Fast Travel speed is increased by 50%.
Reindeer: Health and Armor Rating are increased by 100, and increases rider's Warmth by 100, but Stamina is decreased by 50.
Unicorn: Health and Armor Rating are increased by 100, Magic Resistance is increased by 50%, and Rider has 10% chance to absorb Magicka from incoming spells.

Cavalry Add-On requires Cavalry - Comprehensive Mount System, but doesn't require Saturalia or Wild Horses CC and their patches.

Requirements

The main file requires nothing.

Compatibility

Destriers edits records of Horse Race, Horse Class, and individual horses. Any mods that edit these will be incompatible or need to be patched.

Mods that change horses' appearance may also need patches if they edit horse records.
