Main Features:
-balance of realism and gameplay
-completely new building tech tree
-units correspond to realistic eras
-units are built in buildings that correspond to their armor, training, skill, and specialization
-more building dependencies (prerequesites making buildings important, especially smiths)
-faction specific buildings tweaked
-Horsebreeder's Guild now built in castles (by looking at the triggers, I'm convinced that this guild was meant to be in castles)
-added in the "realistic" missing units for balance
-compatible with Norman Prologue campaign
-strengthens AI army composition

I encourage all modders to give this mod a try and add their own tweaks to it. The reason this is a "vanilla" version is so modders can add their own ideas to it.
