New Policies Complete

Supported languages: English and Italian.
This mod changes the 9 branches of the policies.
It changes more than 90% of the already present policies and adds 15 policies.
The policies in the figures are just some of the policies that are in the mod (sorry if
I have not added all the policies made but anyway they are all of this type).
The changes are many: it makes the tree of policies closer to history,
it adds a new system of unit acquisition (the unlocking of the units depends
on policies acquisition as well as techs acquisition, one of the two is enough
for the unit to be unlocked) and other minor chagnes.

An example of a unit that is unlocked with the acquisition of a policy is the catapult that can be unlocked with the Oligarchy policy or with the tech Mathematics.
Another example is Barbarian Axman who unlocks with the Anti-Pillage policy of the Barbarian Invasions branch; while this unit is never unlocked by tech.

The policy branches refer more than ever to historical facts:
Monarchy refers to the form of government of the monarchies of the ancient era, for example the Egyptian monarchy or even the Roman one.
Democracy refers to the Greek state cities.
Empire refers to the Roman Empire.
Barbaric invasions mainly refers to the invasions that the Roman empire had to reject but also to the barbarians in general (considering the populations outside the Hellenic-Roman culture).
Feudalism refers to the form of government, for example, of the Carolingian empire which is centered on the contrast and power of religion and the emperor (therefore of capital).
Communes refers to the birth of the cities after the feudal period (1100-1700): the Maritime Republics (Genoa, Venice, Pisa, Amalfi), the cities of the Hanseatic League, and the crossroads of trade such as Milan and Munich.
Mecenatism (Patronage) refers to the rebirth of the arts thanks to the "patronage" of the rich of the time who financed the artists so that they would make masterpieces.
Enlightenment refers to the Age of Enlightenment precisely in which this intellectual and philosophical movement prevailed over the others.
Industry refers to the industrial revolution from around 1760 onwards.
Each policy of the new branches refers to these historical facts.

Moreover, this mod changes the tech of infantry and adds the improvement Trench that, further to the +50% defense, provides -10 damage to the near enemies.
Other changes are:
each branch ending, you have a free policy
to balance the game with this policies, the maintenances are changed
to balance the game with this policies, the costs of production are changed
to balance the game with this policies, the cost of science of techs are chenged
to balance the game with this policies, the culture and the turism are changed
the wonders, except the Mosque of Djenne, aren't unlocked by policy

Finally, there are two things to say:
1. the languages supported are English and Italian (because I'm Italian); this means that if a player uses a language other than one of these, he will have non-correspondences between the text and what the policies really do.
2. sometimes, due to game errors, after loading the mod the first time, you need to reload it a second time; so, as soon as you start playing, I suggest you look at the policy tree and, if it is the same as the one in the initial photo of the mod in the workshop, then all is well. On the contrary, if it is different, you have to go back to the main menu and reload the mod, so everything should return to its place as it must be.

Have fun!
