What Kingdom Of Judah Overhaul does:

This mod adds Judah as a playble faction for the Grand Campaign as well as making the Judea faction of the Imperator Augustus campaign pack playable(credits for Peltarius https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308666552) ,

Grand Campaign:
you start in Jerusalem right after Judah The Maccabee(faction leader and general of the starting army) Succssfully took it from the seleucid empire.
The Seleucids have sent an army to end the uprising you must stop them.

Imperator Augustus:
you start at the last days of the hasmonean kingdom during the reign of hyrcanus II already as a client state of Rome(Antony's Rome). Judah has lost it's full independnce and stands to lose much more, but Rome is in civil war and opportunity is present....

The Holy Temple is a capital only bulding with two levels the second of which is the historical Herodian upgrade to the 500 years old temple.

historical background:
The Hasmonean dynasty was the ruling dynasty of Judea and surrounding regions Between 140 BC and 116 BC, the dynasty ruled semi-autonomously from the Seleucids in the region of Judea. From 110 BC, with the Seleucid empire disintegrating, the dynasty became fully independent, expanded into the neighboring regions of Galilee, Iturea, Perea, Idumea and Samaria, and took the title "basileus". Some modern scholars refer to this period as an independent kingdom of Israel. In 63 BC, the kingdom was conquered by the Roman Republic, broken up and set up as a Roman client state.
The deaths of Pompey (48 BC), Caesar (44 BC), and the related Roman civil wars temporarily relaxed Rome's grip on Israel, allowing a very brief Hasmonean resurgence backed by the Parthian Empire. This short independence was rapidly crushed by the Romans under Mark Antony and Octavian.
