[JoeDreck]

This mod is created by Salty and Joedreck.

It is our target to increase the look of Medieval 2: Total War. The Game Mechanics are just modified a little bit.

Features:
-Burreks Textures Included (pozdrowienia do polski)
-Salty's shields for the italian factions, denmark and pavese adds more then 200 shields
-Joe's Kings Banners mod adds over 300 shields and over 130 banners
-Ancillary. Over 140 pics; for the arabian factions and many new for the other. no doubble pic for an ancillary

Examples for ancs:


Examples for the ancillary system:

The most things in the system stands the same, but some things like relics are a lot easier to get.
They are many new ancs like the crowns, banners, kings letter and many more, which i don't want to babble out. it's a suprise. only one thing. the most hardest to get is pai mei. good luck

The historical persons like copernicus, joan d'arc, vasco da gama a.s.o. have now real pics. see up for example.

The Crowns:
Your leader can get now a crown, which get him regard. go to the capital and wait 2 rounds.
so long it lasts to be crowned. The arabian don't have crowns, so i give them a symbolic pic.

King's Letter:
If your geneals are successfully enough, he get a document from the king, which give him a title.
this document give him some abillities. the arabic have "Piety" and not "Loyalty".

King's Banner:
If your geneal is successfully enough, your general get a King's Banner for his great job for the king.
The banner gives him some abillities. Only one general can have the king's banner.

The Orders:
You can get an Order Knight if you make a crusade or when you fighting for the reconquista
(for the reconquista there is no reason which faction you are. i forgot the trigger "only catholic". comming with the patch). Fight honorably agianst moors and you follows an order brother.
