Releases: Aelto/tw3-crow
v4.0
A new module is introduced: Aggression
Combat Aggression
The aggression level of your opponents is now tied to their stamina level. As they perform actions and consume their stamina their aggressiveness will lower, offering you more opportunities to engage. However as their health decreases they receive boosts of stamina, allowing them to reciprocate proportionally to the hits they've received.
Additionally the rules for their ability to counter attack were tweaked to make them less predictible. Where it used to be after every 3 consecutive hits, it is now tied to the stamina level of the enemy with a slight random variation on top of it. An exhausted creature is less inclined to defend itself aggressively through a counter-attack and will instead opt for dodges in those situations, however as you hit the enemy and as its stamina level increases the chances of being countered increases.
The combination of the other modules where an aggressive playstyle is recommended and where you're given the tools to face such situations thanks to permissive counters and non punishing dodges, the fights will often turn into a dance between you and the enemy until one decides to dodge out or dies...
Finally the passive stamina regeneration of the creatures was lowered to make it more interesting to drain the stamina of your targets in outnumbered situations to keep them in check as long as you keep your focus in a single target.
v3.2.1
Before installing this update, you may have to delete the sharedutils_storage from your mods folder. Note that other mods may still depend on it, for this reason it is recommended you try launching the game without it by renaming it to ~sharedutils_storage first. Then if it works you are free to delete it permanently.

v1.0
CROW - Stamina System
The mod decreases the passive stamina regeneration heavily but adds a stamina regeneration bonus when landing hits.
Design
Unlike stamina systems where you are punished for doing actions by losing stamina, this mod goes the opposite way by drastically decreasing the stamina you'd get by playing passively (passive regeneration) and by giving you an incentive to play aggressively.
In terms of time investment (due to the attack animations) vs stamina regeneration gained, heavy attacks are far superior to fast attacks. This creates an incentive to go for a more aggressive but riskier fighting style whenever possible to maximize the stamina gain, indirectly causing you to play the best you can without applying any limits to what you can do.
