Grand Campaign Flavor – Masema

*All text below is subject to change and have only put down the broad strokes of the mod, it makes alot of small changes.

Overhauls nearly all areas of the game, but focus on making campaign challanging and interesting from the start to end game. This is the mod I personally use when playing so it is very well play tested.

Suggestions Ideas can be posted here or under each stand alone mods, all changes here can be found in one or more of my stand alone mods aswell.

What you can expect are:
– large battles with 3000 to 12000 men throught the campaign.
– Larger empires then in vanila campaign
– Huns that are relentles they can have up to 16 armies late game to send against you.
– Religion that are all unique with own mechanics and even a couple of new religions aswell.
– Confedirations, Subjugations and Unlikly alliances.
– Larger rosters for most factions.
– Some better camera and unit control.
– Deadly new and old tools stakes, refile ammo, longer ranges, firepits, fireballs and explosive rounds.
– Variants of many unit skins, if you meet Brittian Cohorts you will see the difference compared to there WRE for runners.

If you have questions don’t hassitate to ask.

Planned Features:
