Italian Alliance (+SPQR) UPDATED FOR PATCH 16.1!

This mod changes how the Italian factions work. Much like the Roman Houses mod, The SPQR has a presence in the campaign and is seated in Roma. They have a full stack army and will not expand, only protect Roma.

Rome and the Etruscan League are both client states of the Senate. If you are playing as Rome and you attack the ETL (or vice versa), the senate will immediately go to war with you.

Once you get too large and too powerful, the Senate, along with it's other client state, will notice your ambition and go to war with you. This will cause a huge civil war in which you must take down both the other Italian faction, and the Senate.

I've also noticed that this mod increased Rome's survivability greatly as the only need to focus on two fronts, Greece and Africa.

Alternatively, you can just play as another faction and enjoy having to take all three factions down as a late game challenge.

Rome, the Etruscans and the SPQR are all playable.

I gave the Etruscans all of the Auxilliary units that Rome gets. You can also subscribe to some unit mods for the Etruscans if you would like more variety.

COMPATIBILITY---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn't change the startpos file. It is compatible with Kaziel's Romans

KNOWN ISSUES-----------------------------------------
1. For some reason, the Senate won't be in the same faction group as Rome in the faction selection menu. I haven't figured out how to correct this.

Everything else should work fine. Please give me feedback.

Thanks!
