Rome 1 Inspired Campaign Map - PATCH 17

Updated version for current patch can be found here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2285136146


Hello! This mod aims to create a different experience than that of the base game. I have massively reduced the number of factions from 117 to 21 or 22, and divided the land among them. This creates a starting point where every faction that lives spans a large region, which hopefully in turn creates longer more drawn out wars and more interesting fights against the AI.

Big thanks to RonBurgundy for helping me implement the 4 Roman Houses into this campaign, and letting me use his friend Silent_Resident's flags/faction symbols!

Incompatabilities:
-Any turn per year mod. (This mod is 4 turns per year.)
-Any mod that changes any faction's starting position.
-Any AI changing mod

Specifically, this mod changes starting positions for many of the playable factions, but several factions were cut. The playable factions are as follows:
-Rome
-Carthage
-Arverni (Gauls)
-Suebi (Germania)
-Iceni (Britannia)
-Boii (Celts)
-Getae (Daco-Thracians)
-The Greek States (a combination of units from Athens, Epirus and Sparta)
-Macedon
-The Seleucid Empire
-Egypt
-Galatia
-Baktria
-Parthia
-Armenia
-Pontus
-Massagetae
-Lusitani
-Arevaci
-Ardiaei

If you attempt to play as a faction not on that list, you will crash upon starting your campaign. This is due to the fact they were replaced by a different faction. There were so many factions of each culture I tried to pick one to represent that culture on its own, hence combining most of the Greeks together, as well as the Germans and Gauls etc.

I have given every faction 1,000 extra starting income, except for Rome who has 3,000 extra and Carthage with 2,000. This is to inspire the AI to expand quicker and be able to build up their economies and military production quickly. Also, this is to (hopefully) stop Rome from getting stomped by anyone they declare war on, since they will be able to field an extra army or 2.

Here are some mods I recommend to play with this:

Champloo's Gold Pack (I wrote the descriptions for most of the units!)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=268682061

250 armies, 57 Edicts and no AI agents (This is almost a must-have for anything)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=331457102

Better AI recruitment

Original RTW Music

Regions needed (factions without a territory are destroyed if they don't take one in a turn)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=255866286

No fog (nice for co-op or competetive where you can't "wait" to change weather)
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=298153773

No barbarian artillery
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=212089847

And of course, my unit mods
