FEATURES:

Faction Size Recruitment

1. A new strategic system connecting manpower and territory.
2. Each settlement adds to your Faction Size, representing the resources and logistics of your realm. Every new unit increases your Unit Limit, the standing strength of your armies. When your armies outgrow your lands, recruitment halts until your faction expands or suffers losses. Occasionally, after a defeat, some recruitment capacity may return - a rare reflection of reorganized command and survivors returning to duty. This mechanic brings realism and natural pacing to the rise and fall of medieval powers.

Expanded AI Siege Equipment

1. The campaign AI now fields more varied siege equipment. Instead of the old pattern of two ladders, one tower, and one ram, the AI can now use multiple towers, additional ladders, for combined assaults - though smaller attacks may still occur by chance. This change makes AI sieges more dangerous, unpredictable, and lifelike.

Enhanced Experience System for Gen

1. Generals and rulers now evolve through command, rule, and hardship.
2. Victories, defeats, and years of service shape their abilities. Over time, leaders develop distinct personalities - wise administrators, zealous crusaders, ruthless conquerors, or weary old lords. Every decision matters in shaping the men who lead your armies.

New and Reworked Units

1. Dozens of new and authentic unit types join the battlefield for Armenia, Milan, and Khwarazmian Empire.
2. Every culture now has its own flavor, strengths, and weaknesses.

New Map Textures and Visual Upgrades

1. The campaign map has been rebuilt with new terrain textures, improved coastlines, reworked mountain regions, and more realistic vegetation. Settlements sit more naturally in their terrain, and the landscape now reflects the true geography of medieval Europe and the Near East.

Smarter AI and Balanced Diplomacy

1. Factions behave more believably than ever.
2. Alliances last longer, ceasefires are respected, and diplomatic priorities differ across Catholic, Orthodox, and Islamic realms. The AI expands, defends, and reacts according to its situation - not random aggression.

Fixes and Improvements

1. Countless bugs, errors, and inconsistencies from the base game have been repaired.
2. From trait triggers and event timing to economy balance, every system has been refined for smoother play and greater historical immersion.

NOTE: If you do not have the 4GB Patch installed, please do so, as the project may crash without it.
