	1. DESCRIPTION

     **********************************************************************

     Trigger Dark Brotherhood Attack introduces a short quest that provides
     the rationale for the player to be targeted for assassination. Dark 
     Brotherhood attacks will not commence until this quest is completed. 
     This gives the player more control over when the assassin ambushes 
     begin. The player must be minimum sixth level before the quest is 
     offered. Engaging a Legionnaire on the topic 'little secret' (if 
     Disposition is high enough) initiates the quest. Even then, the quest 
     does not advance any further until the player investigates by 
     entering the lower level of the Imperial Commission in Ebonheart. 
     Additionally, Leveled assassins have appropriately leveled equipment.


     **********************************************************************

	2. INSTALLATION

     **********************************************************************

     The archive consists of a plug-in module (.esp). and a readme (.txt).

     Unzip the mod into your Morrowind/Data Files directory, or manually
     copy TriggerDBAttack_v1_00.esp into your Morrowind\Data Files folder. 
     If asked to overwrite, choose [Yes].

     
     **********************************************************************

	3. USING THE PLUG-IN

     **********************************************************************

     From the Morrowind Launcher, open Data Files and check the box next to
     TriggerDBAttack_v1_00.esp.

     TriggerDBAttack_v1_00.esp depends on Morrowind and Tribunal.

     It can be used with a new game or an existing saved game.


     **********************************************************************

	4. FEATURES

     **********************************************************************

     - Offers a new quest in which the player unwittingly foils an
       assassination plot, thereby attracting powerful enemies and setting 
       the stage for the attempt against the player in the future.
     - Effectively delays the Dark Brotherhood assassination attempts 
       until the player wishes to start the Tribunal main quest.
     - Leveled assassins have leveled equipment of both quality and value 
       so a low level player cannot acquire the higher quality equipment.


     **********************************************************************

	5. VERSION HISTORY

     **********************************************************************

     Version 1.00

     - Initial public release


     **********************************************************************

	6. COMPATIBILITY

     **********************************************************************

     This plug-in depends on Morrowind and Tribunal.

     Trigger Dark Brotherhood Attack has been cleaned with TESAME, 
     date-stamped and local reference indexes re-numbered with Wrye Mash. 
     If you open this mod in the game editor, use Wyre Mash to preserve 
     the date stamp and local object reference index:

          Date stamp: 12/29/2008/11:00:00 PM
          Starting local reference index: 38759

     Changing these values could result in local reference conflicts with 
     other mods.

     CONFLICTS:
 
     This plug-in will conflict with other mods that make changes to the
     trigger for the Tribunal main quest. Specifically those plug-ins that
     depend upon or alter Bethesda's DBAttackScript or the leveled list 
     db_assassins.

     Such conflicts are not a point of regret. Only one such mod is 
     necessary so load your preference and enjoy.
