Better Main Menu (Online Compatible)

Description
This mod changes only the main menu look (background, design and music) and nothing else. It is completely online compatible and not desync sensitive. It should be work with and without the "Tales of the Dragon" DLC.

- Changes the main menu from the red "Tales of the Dragon" one to the darker extended edition one
- Changes the title logo to the original AoM logo (might not work correctly, see paragraph below)
- Changes the menu background scenario to an improved version of the original AoM:EE
- Plays the main menu music of the original game, Titans expansion and "Tales of the Dragon" in succesion (all three are rather similar)

There seems to be a super weird bug in the game, which allows changing the title logo, only if the files are newer dated than the files of this mod. So the title logo might not be changed by this mod. However, you can fix that by doing the following:
1. Subscribe to this mod and start the game
2. Subscribe to "Vanilla Main Menu Logo":

3. Restart the game and set the "Vanilla Main Menu Logo" mod priority higher than "Better Main Menu"

If you want more background scenarios subscribe also to the other mod I made:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654814487
It includes 10 background scenarios, one of which is randomly chosen every time the game is started. The mods are perfectly compatible (the priority order doesn't matter), since they change separate files.

Only the main menu seen when starting the game is changed, all other menus are unaffected. If you want to also make the menu buttons of the other menus dark like the EE instead of the red DLC buttons, install this mod with a lower priority:

Credits go to the authors of the individual scenarios. If you are one of them and want to be listed as a contributor to this mod, please add me as friend, because that is how the workshop works apparently.
