Meaningful_Unique_Provinces.pack

This mod adds realistic and historical accurate bonuses to provinces so that every territory has a unique role on your empire..
WORKING WITH LATEST PATCH-SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE
WHAT THIS MOD DOES..
Lets say that you play as Rome and you conquer Sparta.You may not train spartan hoplites since you are Roman and have Roman barracks but the forces you will recruit from here will have much higher moral and other stats since the local population is battle hardened..OR if you take Crete your missile troops will be much more deadly since Crete was famous for its archers and the locals who are conscripted in your troops are experienced warriors..
More specifically this mod makes varius provinces give 3 kinds of bonses after carefull consideration of hellenistic time history..
A) NAVY
1)Athens,Syria (phoenicians),Alexandria (Egypt) now give big bonuses to navies increasing turn rate, ramming damage ,or hull streangth.Each Nation has unique bonuses but if you conquer all you can combine ALL of the above to one superpower navy..Also there are othe regions that offer maintenance cost reduction for enhancing your naval power (Cyprus,Rome,Carthage etc.)
B) LAND ARMIES
2)Parthia,Scythia,Baktria have great horses and big cavalry bonuses only second behind the worlds famous Iberian and Numibian steeds.In these territories you can recruit much more powerfull versions of your standard cavalry.
3)Sparta (obviously..),Rome, Lybia Pontus and some barbaric regions give super upgrates to your infantry.Bonuses are usually scattered in various regions of a single province.So if you take all of the province you combine the bonuses.
4)Crete,Rhodes,Syria,Persia,Iberia,Thracia give great missile infantry bonuses.
4B) Charge bonus for varius barbaric regions
C) SPECIAL
5)There are regions that give food bonuses like whole of Egypt (Nile) Mesopotamia Pergamum (fish) ,Sardinia (grain) and regions in the north or west facing the Atlantic.
6) Regions that control straits like Byzantium Gibraltar and the straits between Sicily and Carthage-Italy and between Italy-Greece or the English chanel and northern sea produce taxes in the form of tariffs.If you controll both ends you get double tariffs.
7)There are regions tough to force public order like judea or far east close to India territories where even Alexander the great had a tough time enforcing peace..
8)There are places like thessalia (thermopylae),Syracuse and Judea , Media magna,Chorasmia which due to unique terrain give HUGE defensive bonuses to armies stationed there.So if you wait the enemy at the borders you get all the bonuses and he gets none also you get as a defender extra deployables..(if the enemy finds a way and enters the region he gets also the bonuses..)
9)Also extra attrition to enemies in a few renowned deserts far east (caramania and transcaucasia)
10)Introducing SILK ROAD!! from Antioch to far east through esopotamia persia caramania and gedrosia a road that every reagion gives additional tariff simulating the silk road...
11) Increased replenishend for regions next to big rivers like danube neil rhine and messopotamia
12)Armor making bonuses for some Germanic refions (Big iron and bronze deposits there historically)
13)Recruitment reduction for Carthagenesis region (silver mines that Hanibal used for his army recruitment..)
14) NEW: Added food bonuses and army replenishment bonus for north Africa Lepcis and Thapsus
Check the change Notes tab up above for new updates and the reason behind them..
15) NEW:Added severe penalties due to attrition for enemies to renowned fierce deserts like caramania and transoxonia
