Description:

Rome II Emperor Edition Rise of the Republic compatible

This mod enhances the Campaign AI by building better melee based armies as well as improving the faction specific recruitment behavior.The AI will for example recruit Pikemen as Macedon and prefer Hoplites with Athens or Sparta. The mod works fine with the vanilla game and the mods mentioned under compatibility seen below.

– completely new culture specific naval AI recruitment
– completely new AI unit recruitment types
– completely new Greek AI recruitment overhaul
– adjusted every CAI army composition
– less missile units in general
– faction specific and historical accurate AI armies
– new army variation system (every military group now has more than 1 army template)
