14.) Animated trees. They appear to be moving with the wind.
15.) Animals: wild animals, farm animals and flying birds making the maps more lively.
16.) All new options are localized in the various available languages.

Tweaks:
17.) Added a small amount of gold to following additional start option : cannons, towers and cannons & howitzers to cover for the initial maintenance cost.
18.) On 18th century barracks start option: one fewer Log Cabin (4 -> 3) for Ukraine, one fewer 17th barracks for Ukraine (5 -> 4), Algeria and Turkey (4 -> 3) to not cause issues on small islands maps, where some of these buildings might spawn in water.)
19.) 2 extra towers for the 'towers' start option, Ukraine gets 2 Log Cabins (previously they would get nothing).
20.) Lowered the number of peasants Turkey/Algeria get on start option 'Army of Peasants', they previously would get many more than any other nation.
21.) Changed the winter textures to be darker, as opposed to being blinded by the current snow textures.
22.) Moved the desert landscape option from seasons to landscape.
23.) Various changes to terrain generation, eg: landscape type 'plain' now is plain and no longer has hills generating on them. Hills generate hills and not plateaus/mountains, etc...

Fixes:
24.) Fixed misdecor7 & 8 having a bad texture (tent texture pointing to wrong file.)
25.) Fixed desert_plain_medium pattern group error (Generator.cfg & dogenerate.inc)


Compability:
This mod changes a lot of scripts, so for multiplayer everyone will need the mod to be able to play.

It''s unlikely this will be compatible with any 'big' mods, as many files are changed. However, I didn''t touch the country scripts, so it all depends on the mod I guess.

Some people have reported that it is compatible with mods like: Population lite, Sound enhanced, Better shadows,...
Not compatible with: AI annihilation mod,M ore appealing player colours mod

Hi, this mod doesn't work with Rise of America

The mod is not bad. I respect the author for his work. But wild animals are superfluous in this mod, they prevent you from putting up a building, or properly drawing a defensive line of walls, it's annoying that you can't kill them or move them to the side. Is there a way to get rid of them? by the way units get stuck in some buildings

Is it possible to have team islands/continents with this mod? Can I configure the masks for that for example?

@ Lunatix : No, I never set it up to be possible, because there was no 'skinning' animation for the peasants available in the base game. It's not impossible to do, it would require some extra lines of code and then maybe use the 'harvest wheat' animation , but maybe someone else should try this, I doubt I'll put more time in this mod at this point in the game's life.
