+# More Attentive Guards for Morrowind  #
+
+## About ##
+
+An MWSE-Lua mod that replicates the features of
+[Inquisitive Guards](https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46538) by RubberMan
+and
+[Protective Guards](http://download.fliggerty.com/download-110-20) by Fliggerty
+
+* Guards that catch the player sneaking about in town will follow them for a length of time dependent on their sneak skill.
+* Guards will come to the aid of an unwanted player who is attacked unprovoked
+* MCM Menu for configuration of many options
+
+### Dialogue ###
+
+* Guards will say things:
+    * While the player is sneaking, on a chance based timer
+    * When the player stops sneaking while being followed
+    * When the guard gets bored of following the player
+    * When coming to the aid of an unwanted player who is attacked unprovoked
+
+Open dialogues.lua to edit the dialogues. I'm no writer so they're probably bad, but the framework is there for the dialogues to be easily edited or translated. 
+
+To add a new language add something like this to dialogues.lua:
+
+```
+["your language"] = {
+        -- guards might say this every so often to players who are sneaking
+        -- %s is replaced with race or class
+        ["sneaking"] = {
+            "dialogue goes here",
+        },
+        -- guards say this when players stop sneaking while being followed
+        -- %s is replaced with race or class
+        ["stop_sneaking"] = {
+            "dialogue goes here",
+        },
+        -- guards say this when they're satisfied that the player is not doing anything illegal
+        -- %s is replaced with race or class
+        ["stop_following"] = {
+            "dialogue goes here",
+        },
+        -- guards say this when coming to player's rescue when they're attacked unprovoked
+        -- %s is replaced with the name of the npc or creature attacking the player
+        ["join_combat"] = {
+            "dialogue goes here",
+        }
+}
+```
+
+The MCM dropdown will automatically be populated with the configured language, and once selected, those dialogues will be used.
