nocts_cata_mod VS cdda-stamina-regen-buff

The most recent version (master branch) is updated to work with experimental, there should be a release from the 24th of march that's for Stable. It works for me. https://github.com/Noctifer-de-Mortem/nocts_cata_mod/releases

I use Arcana Cata++

As for third-party mods, in general you need to look for a mod that has both DDA and BN versions, because for most content the JSON drifts too much for them to be compatible. All of my mods for example have BN and DDA versions where required, as do Noctifer's Cataclysm++ mod and DN's Mining Mod.

There really aren't many unofficial mods, because the game is open source and so people tend to just add to the game directly. The two big mods I recommend that live outside the default repo are Arcana (magic that fits the vanilla tone a bit better than Magiclysm) and Noct's Cata Mod aka Cata++ (super soldiers and a special boss monster that gives me Resident Evil vibes).

Cata++ has a similar scenario. The "Slave Fighter Freedom" scenario starts you in an arena will several other NPC augmented gladiators. The Red Team starts hostile and the Blue Team will join your faction without a skill check, giving you a guaranteed NPC army. Unless you get them all killed, I guess.

Stamina Regen Balance. Running out of stamina no longer fucks you over in BN like it does in DDA, but there's still an issue with stamina balancing inherited from DDA. Basically, max stamina and the cost for most actions got increased by a large amount back in the day, but stamina regen rate was increased by a MUCH smaller amount, so net stamina regen during mild activities like walking is in a very fragile balance.

Stamina Regen Balance. While BB's handling of low stamina is a lot better than DDA's, it still inherited an annoying disparity between how much stamina costs for actions were increased vs. how much stamina regen rate was increased.
