Ed's Augustus Roman Economy, Technology & Building Mod

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
o 8 Feb 2014: Updated Mod to current Game Patch. CA once again a few things that have me stumped - like where to increase the number of horses for mount units - but I will figure it out. For its working with exsisting Campaign and New Games.
o 20 Dec: Patch 8 and Beta 8.1 compatible. I think I was able to change research back to 1 turn - I need to test still.
o 19 Dec: Patch 8 Updated and Working. However, a few things I still need to work on.
- 1 turn construction for Rome is working, but research is not. CA deleted an entire database element I could change for research times. So now I must hunt and find where they moved it to and how.
- Lowered all Rome's building costs, but still need to adjust some faction effects.
I tested with my ongoing Legandary Campaign and a brand new Campaign and its working.
o 15 Nov: Patch 7 updated. Still fixing a few things, but the game works. CA is changing a lot of things. Will take a little bit to figure out compatibleness.
o 8 Nov Update: Mod changed to now be compatible with all DLC and Patches.

For a "richer" Rome experience, try my related mods... Ed's Augustus Roman Campaign mod and Ed's Augustus Battle Bldg mod found here on Steam also.

I freely admit they are over-balanced towards Rome, but that's what I like. Rome should kick ♥♥♥. Each one replaces the same name related excellent mod created by Radious (without whom I wouldn't have played this game past the week of release) /salute Radious.

If you don't like them that's okay -- to each their own. I just like playing a Rome that actually can conquer the Med. Sea Basin and keep it without all the stupid CA game "balances"--I mean come on the game allows little pissant tribes to beat down on major powers is BS. Still pisses me off I cannot prevent Germanic tribes for having Ballistas (dumb) for example - lol.

With all 3 of these mods Rome enjoys 1) One turn research 2) Cheaper buildings (so you can focus on your military) 3) Lower upkeep rates for units 4) More armies and navies and spy/champ/digs (this will go to all factions so it will get "spammed" at you - but I love killing spies!) 5) Much faster xp gains for all Generals/Admirals, and spy/champ/digs (this will go to ALL factions, lvl10 spies are no joke) 6) Much younger Ages for important people (i.e. you will get generals that are 22 years old, and champs around 25) 7) Modified some building stats to increase their value to the Rome faction (not just locally) 8) 1 turn construction -- so you are not playing SimCity with a broken squalor/food component for 65 turns, but instead you can actually wage war...and tons of other stuff!

Bottomline: You as Rome will have a lot more gold to play with--this increases the fun of the Politics for example as now you can afford to bribe, marry, kill opponents, etc. Also you will be able to buy allies more easily (and trading routes). This makes building the iconic Roman Faction buildings like Circus Maximus and the Flavian Amphitheatre with ease.
