which faction and mods?

[DisruptorX]

So English or Byzantines.

The English have long bows what do the Byzantines have like an elite unit?

I have shogun total war and you have to buld castles on each region to keep it do you do that in this one?

In this one you build different buildings to recruit new troops and bigger castles let you advance to a higher tier of buildings. You don't need castles per se, but I always build up all my provinces, so I never have problems with unrest or civil wars. Watchtowers reduce discontent directly, to prevent revolts on newly captured areas.

To answer the other question, everything Byzantine is elite. Its a boring easy mode faction.
