This mod rethinks the way combat functions in Mirage, aiming to enhance player-expression and making it more deliberate while also allowing for a "non-lethal" approach. Now you can "stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent" without needing to avoid or run away from combat.

Changelogs
Version 2.0.0
"Assassin Focus" in combat" In the first 60 seconds of combat, you can activate assassin focus. Slow time factor changed - slowed down speed.
"Kickback" After a parry is now a 4 punch combo that attacks the enemies defense. Uses stamina.
"Dodge Attack" and "Alternate Sprint Attack" are back. Changed to follow-up attack of Dodge attack to better match the animation (visual change only).
"Stun Kill Finishers" Fixed a bug that displayed the wrong responder animation when triggering the stun kill from the back;
"Kick" triggered by "Quick Throw Trap" button. Uses Stamina. You need to unlock the trap tool to use this move. You need to have trap tool ammo to use this move.

Version 1.0.0
V1.0.0 Features (Outdated):
Assassin Focus in combat Take advantage of Assassin Focus in Combat. In the first 20 seconds of combat, you can activate assassin focus that now has a reduced range and duration. Time now doesn't stop completly, it's just slowed down. Basim is vulnerable while picking targets and during the last assassination.
Kickback Skill is now usable anytime after a regular dodge, and are identical to the kickback skill after parry - meaning, the animations are diferent for each direction of attack. Mainly for controling the battlefield, partialy for style points. Kinda like the grab move in AC1-ACR.
Stun Kill Finishers Stun finishers (triggerd by pressing your designated button to "kill" a defense broken enemy) are now replaced by non_lethal animations, (They are funcionally still lethal kills, for now). You can still preform the cool lethal finishers by light or heavy attacking enemy.
Alternate Sptint Attack Sprint attacks couldn't trigger finishers, they only staggered enemies but always ended fights in a flop. Now the Heavy Sprint Attack can trigger a Counter Roll finisher on a kill (the attack itself is replaced by the third attack of the heavy combo). Great for moving around group of enemies, and looks non-lethal too.
Lock-on Speed When locked on, Basim's speed is slower giving his movements more weight. Makes it feel alot more like AC1 combat speed.
v2.0.0 Features:
"Assassin Focus" in combat Take advantage of Assassin Focus in Combat.
In the first 60 seconds of combat, you can activate assassin focus. Make that first minute count. Time now doesn't stop completly, it's slowed down; Range is reduced, so it doesn't feel like Basim has a teleportation super-power; He is a fast assassin, not an X-men. Aiming duration is now 10 seconds; Chose your targets quickly and execute - no more bathroom breaks during Assassin focus.
Basim is vulnerable while in assassin focus and during the last assassination, so be careful. This is a useful ability, but a double-edged sword.
"Kickback" After a Parry After a parry, Kickback is now a 4 punch combo that attacks the enemies defense. Uses stamina.
You can change targets mid-combo (wich is really cool IMO). Mainly for controlling the battlefield, partialy for style points.
"Dodge Attack" and "Alternate Sprint Attack" are back Found a way to preserve these moves, while still allowing for and independant "kick" and "light counter roll" skills;
Changed to follow-up attack of Dodge attack to better match the animation (visual change only).
Stun Kill Finishers Stun finishers (triggerd by pressing your designated button to "kill" a defense broken enemy) are now replaced by non_lethal animations, (They are funcionally still lethal kills, for now).
You can still preform the cool lethal finishers by light or heavy attacking enemy.
Fixed a bug that displayed the wrong responder animation when triggering the stun kill from the back;

You can change the button configuration in:Options - Controls - Costumize Controls - Combat (Tools section) - Quick Throw Trap
Partialy substitutes the "Quick Throw Trap": When you have a ranged tool selected, "Quick Throw Trap" button will trigger the "kick" When you have a torch selected, "Quick Throw Trap" button will trigger the "Quick Throw Trap" You need to unlock the trap tool to use this move. You need to have trap tool ammo to use this move.
The animations are diferent for each direction of attack. Kinda like the grab move in AC1-ACR.
Light Counter Roll A counter roll that can be activated anytime to vault over your enemies by using "Quick Throw Noisemaker" button. Uses Stamina.
You can change the button configuration in:Options - Controls - Costumize Controls - Combat (Tools section) - Quick Throw Noisemaker
Partialy substitutes the "Quick Throw Noisemaker": When you have a ranged tool selected, "Quick Throw Noisemaker" button will trigger the "Light Counter Roll" When you have a torch selected, "Quick Throw Noisemaker" button will trigger the "Quick Throw Noisemaker" You need to unlock the Noisemaker tool to use this move. You need to have Noisemaker tool ammo to use this move.
Kinda like "we have Ac Shadows at home"
Lock-on Speed When locked on, Basim's speed is slower giving his movements more weight.
Makes it feel alot more like AC1 combat speed.
I'm still looking for ways to make these non-lethal options actualy non-lethal (still looking, not gonna be easy) and for ways to trigger the Counter Roll skill independently (counter roll added in version 2.0.0), stay tuned. Have fun!
