Description
Simple mod collection to enhance, but not completely change the game.

I've omitted any mods that add new content (such as characters or units) and also mods that would drastically change mechanics, my goal here is to simply improve upon existing base so it can reach its fullest potential.

LOAD ORDER (WIP, STILL BEING TESTED)
1. Submod for Local God Crests & Minor Factions Custom Battles
2. historical local gods as factions' crest
3. Minor Factions in Custom Battles

FOR MODDING/TESTING PURPOSES

ADDITIONAL NOTES
I'm working my own faction colour/desaturation mod, which will use historical local gods as factions' crest as a base, but when will it be completed I cannot say as of now.

10 Building Slots for Aegan and Mesopotamian Cult Centres
Created by Alex Zhao
As the title said, cult centres in Aegan and Mesopotamian regions (like Troy or Mycenaean) will also have 10 building slots. Babylon and Akhetaten were increased to 12 slots since 10 slots single settlement provinces are not very useful. Also fixed a vanil...

Babylonian Bodyguards Are Taskmasters
Created by AceTheGreat
