# Dogfish: reconstructing Conquest of Skyrim's strategic systems

> Dogfish investigates the Conquest of Skyrim mod for Skyrim Special Edition and reconstructs its strategic systems as a standalone Rust simulation. Its documents cover behavioral contracts, original Papyrus and binary research, and an experimental SKSE integration bridge. The project reports that in-game execution checks remain blocked pending human playtesting.
