Features - 2.0.3 HOTFIX
- Fixed several causes of crashes during end turns. Therefore, the campaigns should now be much more stable.

- Added Mankar Camoran (as a priest :P)
- Fixed the issue when sons of Torygg had no traits when they reached adulthood.

- Pink pic for rebel generals
- If you see any other bugs, please report it, so that it can be fixed for the next version!

Install instructions
Due to the numerous issues that people had with running the mod with EOP tool, THE Unofficial Patch BY DEFAULT DOESNT INCLUDE EOP FEATURES (the info on EOP is below the install instructions), therefore USE The_Elder_Scrolls.bat or TESTW Launcher.exe to play the mod, definitely NOT TES UP.exe launcher. If you want to play with the full features (EOP features), use the switchers that are part of the hotfix. Intructions on how to switch are there.
However, you can use this hotfix no matter which version are you using currently. Neverthless, your saved game will not be compatible either way.
0. If you have a previous version of this path or the main mod, i.e., 2.0 or 2.0.1., you need to delete it first and start over.
1. Download and install The Elder Scrolls 2.0.2 Standalone. Of course, you need to apply 4GB patch or LAA patch as well, its located in your TES folder.
2. Go into your The_Elder_Scrolls/data and delete the whole "world" folder"! Otherwise your start campaign menu will be all messed up.
3. Download and install TES Unofficial Patch 2.0.2 by extracting it into your mods folder. You will know you are doing it correctly when it asks you to overwrite files, hit yes. This applies for both version, FULL and without EOP.
4. Download this hotfix (TES Unofficial Patch 2.0.3 Hotfix), and etract it into your mod The_Elder_Scrolls folder. You will know you are doing it correctly when it asks you to overwrite files, hit yes.
5. You are ready to play!
To launch via the "The_Elder_Scrolls.bat" or "TESTW Launcher.exe", not "TES UP.exe", unless you sitch to full features version
