New Units from previous Waves:

-Please check the discussions below to read about all the new units from previous waves.

Minor Faction Garrisons:

-Garrison Building Chains have been adjusted to add new faction units to the minor factions in Wave 1, 2 and 3.

Remaining Faction Filler Units:

-The rest of the Minor Factions have had a mix of vanilla and native units temporarily added to their roster to bring them all up to 12 units.

Known Issues:

-There are NO 3D unit cards for my new units. There are 2D unit cards created by myself, please switch to using 2D unit cards in the game settings whilst playing the mod.
-None of the help pages work for my new units – they open help pages for similar vanilla units.

Misc Changes:

-Work has been done to improve the faction colours of the Achaean Native Units. (More to follow on this)
-Small changes to many unit visuals including Hittite and Canaanite Units to improve variety and better represent armour values.

Custom Battle Factions:

To enable all of the factions to fit in the menu, I have had to merge some factions in the Custom Battle Selection Screen.
The factions that are merged:
Dungul and Meshwesh -> Libu Tribes
Merneptah and Setnahkte -> Court of Lower Egypt
Malidiya and Shubru -> Vassal Kingdoms of Hatti

Mod Collection:

This mod includes all of my other currently available visual mods.
