DrKing's Total War

A selection of campaign/game tweaks to suit my personal taste.

- Many ERE units reskinned, officers for both ERE and WRE are now more varied.
- Dark color themes for all factions.
- Morale rebalance; many additional factors now affect morale, such as missile fire and fatigue.
- Fatigue rebalance; later stages now take longer to apply and to go away.
- Siege progression bestows no penalties to melee attack and defense.
- Doubled civilians in settlement battles.
- The battle camera can be lowered more.
- Pikes always show.
- Towers arrows do significantly less damage (as foot archers) but are a lot more accurate. Your towers will no longer set your own settlements on fire.
- Rebalanced missiles: Heavy shot is more damage for less range but reloads equally fast to normal shot, Flame shot deals the same damage as normal shot but with chance to ignite, extra damage on horses/elephants, and morale penalty but reloads slowly.
- Siege engines are less accurate at long ranges.
- Horse archers and crossbowmen have no flame arrows.
- Melee combat tweaked slightly to be a bit slower and more cinematic.
- Age of Charlemagne tweaks to arms/armor. Armor and shield bonuses doubled, lances do more damage in combat and less on charge.

- Units no longer upgrade, and lower-tier units remain recruitable.
- Fertility never decreases by more than 1 due to Attila's seals.
- The ERE treasury interest bonus is reduced to 1,5% from 5%.
- The ERE gets a +3% success bonus on spy actions to compensate for the change above.
- Greek fire ships are unique to the Eastern Roman Empire.
- Slightly tweaked family rules (equal chance for male and female children, for example).
- War fervor nerfed from -100% to -50% upkeep.
- The Huns receive fewer free stacks.
- All hordes enjoy -20% upkeep.
- Slightly lowered "other" income.
- Forced march penalizes -10 integrity per turn. Army integrity rebalanced.
- Garrisoned armies in settlements penalize +5 squalor.
- Maximum number of governors is now 100.
- Researching any typical technology costs 1000 gold per turn.
- The Natural Water mod is included.
- Campaign AI cheats less (at normal difficulty). A side-effect is that rebellions and disease are a lot more common.
- Campaign AI is smarter and better at prioritizing.
- Campaign AI will attack at night more often and even sally out.
- Campaign AI is a lot more aggressive, even from the start of the game.
- Campaign AI will seek peace more (see War Weariness below).
- Diplomatic marriages are more important.
- Political events will happen more often.
- Ministerial positions have no rank requirement and last 200 turns.
- War Weariness from Age of Charlemagne incorporated into main campaign.

I uploaded this to get rid of "this mod is out of date" message on my end - But if anyone else likes these changes, great!
