Description:

An quickly assembled mod on Mitanni with buildings and unit roster.

And yes it requires the required items, wont run otherwise.

Trivia:
This is an ahistorical mod, sorta alt-historical. The last known King[en.wikipedia.org] perished in an failed war of independence some three decades before game start. At the time the Mitanni rebellion had been aligned to the Hittites and Hattušiliš had send some troops to aid in this war. The Assyrians however defeated the combined force at around ~~1260bc. After this defeat the Hittites did an American and rage quit the war they had intervened in, while the Mitanni continued to fight for years or maybe decades. However by the end of Shalmaneser’s reign (~~1245-1235bc) Mitanni was done for. Before this Mitanni had revolted and failed several times, this is just the last time.
Where this mod goes alt-history is when assuming someone of the Royal House survived, and did so to try an comeback. Tuttul being very little known at this time too, no one knows who ruled here in 1205 bc. Tuttul was a significant Mitanni stronghold. The mod thus plays on this ambiguity, putting an bastard ruler of the defunct Mitanni, claiming the decent and trying to revive the old fortunes. However, it won’t be easy, you only have the one settlement. Savkirta is thus also made-up as this stalwart royal, think of him like Mitanni’s John Snow. While on comparison CA’s Kirata is 100% made up too, so this mod doesn’t change the made-up-ness of the faction itself.
