General

• Requires MSU and Modern Hooks which makes it a bit more fragile should those mods break
• This mod is more likely to break from a Vanilla update, because of its size, compared to a simple speed-up mod like Quicker
• Just like Swifter and Quicker, this mod speeds up combat speed by changing the virtual clock. This approach is known to, in rare cases, cause glitches or crashes in combat

Compatibility

• Is safe to remove from- and add to any existing savegames
• Compatible with Legends
• Compatible with Reforged
