This mod is my attempt to overhaul the factions of Estalia and New World Colonies.
I had a huge issue with the way it is done in vanilla game so I decided to do it myself because the historical counterparts (Spain, New Spain and Portugal) are way more interresting than just to be "Empire copies".

With Mixu's Unlocker mod linked below, Estalia and the New World Colonies will become playable factions in the campaign (listed under Empire). Both with custom unique faction leaders.
Nearly every aspect is overhauled: the buildings, agents (heros), technologies and units.
Speaking of which there is a complete new unit-roster and kind of battle mechanic for the Estalians.

There are also a few new heroes like the Priestess of Myrmidia, the Templar of Myrmidia, the Diestro and the Inquisitor aswell as new variations of mages.

-> be warned, the beastmen factions "Harbinger of Disaster" (Malagor) and "Warherd of the Shadowgave" (Morghur Herd) starting confederated when playing as Estalia.

-> some of the starting settlements have NO healed garrison, thats on PURPOSE and NOT A BUG

-> it is recommend to set your unit details to ultra in order to show the full pontential of the variations
-->sometimes there is a bug were settings below ultra will lead to a game crash!

-> Missions and dilemmas does only trigger for human controlled Estalia and NWC

-> be warned that story techs that deals with Estalia (Estalia -> NWC) or NWC (NWC -> Estalia) might not work properly in MP (military alliance and confederation)

-> the mod itself is REQUIREMENTLESS!

Victory Conditions Overhaul -> required for custom victory conditions

Mixu's Unlocker - MIXER -> required if you want to actually play Estalia in campaign
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859968660&searchtext=mixer

Be informed that after every major game update Mixu's Unlocker has also be updated.
During that period of time this mod might not work or not work as intended!

I thank all of the mentioned modders, mod-teams and content creators for their permission to use content they have created.
Please contact me if I forgot someone.

Please also check out the creators of the linked youtube videos. They make a lot of cool stuff like the shown.

You will find a list with the links here . I will update this list as soon as I get or found the links.

Personally I will NOT create any submods as my focus lies on my own projects.
So let me state it as clear as possible: as long as you keep this mod as requirement you are allowed to do nearly anything - of course nothing against the EULA....after you're done you can send me the link and I will put it in the discussion page.
In any case it is recommend to inform me first before you do anything - its not just more polite but there might be things I already have on my own list of improvements.

Cataph's Southern Realms:
He did a great job here but it's not how I see Estalia - just subjective!
So in terms of our both mods there is no compatibility.
If anyone decides to make a compatibility submod you are allowed to do so from my side BUT don't just take my models and add them for Cataph's units!
So to any submodder who decides to make a compatibility mod: it's either my Estalia as whole or nothing.
It took many days and weeks to come up with and test this concept, so please respect and accept my request.

Also, please don't take some pieces of this mod, like single units, and do a standalone version of it just to make it possible to be played with Cataph's TEB.
Please accept it this way.

-> Texts and names are based on Mathias Eliasson's Army book, Medieval 2 Total War: Kingdoms and own thoughts

-> Videos are not created by me but are created by independend youtubers (thank you for that)

-> comments regarding the skin colour will be ignored or deleted!

All my modding work is for free and will stay for free. But some projects are bigger than others and need a lots of time and maintaince-work, so donations are always welcome.
