Multimod
This is a small mod, containing some of my old modifications to the original rome total war, with a bit of a twist. Triarii and Auxilia (and Samnites) can phalanx, Hastati and Principes can testudo, romans can build an auxilia barracks as in rome 2, which lets them produce mercenaries instead of mainline roman troops, [and various islands can recruit special mercenary units, for certain cultures, giving them an edge (removed this at the moment to allow compatibility with mods that add new regions)].
Also allows all levels of arena/colosseum to build gladiators for all roman factions. (Judging by the formatting in the vanilla game, it looks like the original intention was for all roman factions to have access to all gladiators, then they got changed to unique per faction, but the ability to make gladiators for certain factions was still limited to upgraded arenas.)
Hope to expand this further. (Plan to add new regions and enlarge the map, though it seems there’s problems with that at the moment.) Also in the future, I hope to add more mercenaries and set them up by region, ie where you can recruit the mercenaries with an army, that’s what the barracks allows for. This will limit compatibility with mods that add regions though.
