Better Caldera
by Matthew Walker
------------------

This plugin drastically changes Caldera, making it far more "real", in the author's opinion.  There are simply too many changes to list each one individually, but a summary of the changes include: a home for the player in the center of Caldera; a barracks for the local Imperial Legion; a dramatically improved Shenk's Shovel; hundreds of new statics to add character to Caldera; minor changes to several homes and shops; a new trader, plus a few odds and ends that the player will have to find for himself.

The plugin is especially friendly to characters in the Legion, since the local barracks will always allow fellow Legion members to stay there, and eat their food.  

I have tried to stay true to the "spirit" of Caldera, meaning that I wanted to keep it the same mining hamlet it's always been.  To that end, the town is not any bigger; it's just far more detailed.  Even so, I would guess that the average player probably won't see even half of the changes; it would take real dedication to examine every nook and cranny of the town to see all that I've done to it.  

Because this is a town modifying plugin, incompatibilities are inevitable.  I know for sure that it is incompatible with Caldera Expansion, Indy Bank of Vvardenfel, and any other plugin that modifies the area immediately to front and left of the Governor's Hall.  I tried my best to keep it as friendly with other Caldera plugins as possible, but because of its scope, it is almost certainly incompatible with 90%+ of all plugins that affect Caldera.

I hope you enjoy this mod.  Even though it's not in any way grandiose, maybe it will add some desperately needed character to Caldera.
