NOTE:

1. This plugin requires Tribunal.

INSTALLATION:

1. Read this readme to the end !
2. Unzip the files into your data files folder.
3. Open the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files. Check the DB_Attack_Mod.esp.
4. You're all set and ready to go :)

WHAT THIS PLUGIN DOES:

I found the early Dark Brotherhood attack in Tribunal most irritating and unlogical. How should a freshly arrived Noname pose a threat to the king's throne ? So I changed it so that the Dark Brotherhood attacks only commence after you either lead at least one Great House, or are have been named Nerevarine by at least one Ashlander tribe, or have been named Hortator by at least one Great House. I figure that by then you've got enough political influence to come to the attention of the king. As a side-effect you'll also probably be a more suitable level to take on Tribunal by then. I also added a check if you killed Dagoth Ur, in case you do the main quest the backdoor way and none of the other conditions ever become true.

WHAT IS NEW IN 2.0:

Well, big bug in V1: The attacks only started when ALL conditions were fulfilled. Basically each that was found to be not met would set the attack variable to no. It's reversed now. Each condition that's found to be true will set the variable to yes and the attacks will commence.

Avenger did perfect job on limiting player's level for the original script to kick in. The only problem with this script is that it eats more processor power than it deserves. In this version, all necessary calculations are performed only when the player gets to sleep. Also, when DB attacks cease, the script stops itself completely.
