Description:

🏛️ Ancient Empires: Vanilla UI Restoration
Ancient Empires is an absolute masterpiece of an overhaul, but sometimes you just want the comfort and clarity of the original interface. This sub-mod offers an alternative visual experience by stripping back the custom AE interface and restoring the clean, familiar layout of the Vanilla UI, while injecting fresh visual enhancements of its own.

If you love the deep, tactical gameplay of Ancient Empires but prefer the readability and aesthetic of the base game’s interface, this mod is for you!

🛠️ Current State: Work in Progress
Please note: This mod is currently in active development. Changes are being rolled out in phases to ensure stability and visual quality.

✅ Currently Implemented Features
🏛️ Roman Faction UI Overhaul: A specialized UI overhaul applied specifically to the Roman Faction (Inspired by TW: Troy).

Note: Currently functional in the Campaign only.

🖥️ Vanilla UI Restoration: The base game UI has been fully restored as the standard for all other factions.

🎨 New Visuals: Brand-new custom logos and beautifully crafted loading screens to set the atmosphere before your campaigns.

🗺️ Vanilla Campaign Map: The classic campaign map visuals have been brought back as a foundation for future enhancements.

🚀 The Roadmap (Coming Soon)
⚔️ Roman Battle UI: Extending the custom Roman interface to tactical battles.

🎨 Faction Diversity: Unique UI layouts for other major factions.

📍 Map Enhancements: Upgrading and polishing the restored vanilla map for a better strategic view.
