Wow... this is excellent work. One of the best mods on the workshop BY FAR, now even better.

Thank you! It will get better and better.

That... is a lot of changes

still need to fix the bug were when you attack a faction they become friends after there by ending your game because you can fight other factions i know that me and my freind have both run in to this problem and im sure many others have

Not sure about the cause of this. How do you mean 'by ending your game'?

like making it unplayable you just attack a kingdom or desert a army you become friends with the kingdom... i really hope you can find the problem its a great mod other then that

Hey Fireshadow Please Could you Delete Suffixs to When you get a Kingdom it's really annoying
When I Do something Like Wanna Make The Romans its be Like Kingdom Of Rome or Kingdom Of Roman For Your Troops to actually be Called Roman Footman or Roman Man At arms

Also keep up The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Amazing Work man ⚒⚒😋
