Rebel mod: Vanilla +

!! Update 2! Fixed crash on startup, however... can't recruit all units anymore, since some base files seems to be changed too. Fixed CTD on clicking faction overview!!! Now Rebels included in singleplayer custom battles!!
Did you ever want to play as the rebel faction, but did you get frustrated your favourite barbarian rebel units were not recruitable?
Do you want to overthrow all the major powers and instill anarchy over the European continent?
Do you enjoy a harsh game were money is tight, a lack of generals is apparent and everyone is at war with you?

WAIT NO LONGER!

The Rebel mod is here, for you!

Rebel mod: Vanilla+ lets you experience the rebel/slave faction the way it was intented. No sneaky bonuses, no narky family members undermining your anarchistic communities, no fancy units the rebels definitely don't deserve. It's just purely rebels, with their rebel units. Oh. And pirates. Yes, pirates are more than welcome in the rebel ranks!

This mod lets you play as rebels and also recruit barbarian units, including Amazon chariots AND Judaean Zealots! With some other minor additions to make the rebel life a little bit easier.

Features:
- Playable rebels in imperial campaign and custom battles
- Roman rebels are actually roman (and not Greek), except for southern Italy
- Judaean Rebels are now Numidian Culture and can recruit Judaean Zealots!
- Unlocks recruitment of Amazon Chariots in Hyperborea (armorer)
- Unlocks recruitment of Cilician Pirates in ports in Cilicia, Crete, Cyprus and Dalmatia for greek and pontic rebels
- Phoenician rebels now have Carthaginian culture instead of Parthian
- pirate ships are recruitable/retrainable in ports
-- Unlocks recruitment of all slave barbarian units in barbarian settlements
○ Barbarian peasants, warband and archers for all barbarian cultures
○ Scythian Horse archers for scythian rebels
○ Barbarian chariots for briton rebels, barbarian (noble) cavalry for the other barbarians
○ Naked fanatics and Druids for certain temples (like the barbarian factions and spain)
- you can disable merchants, or disable the remastered resource change and it will still work! ( I think, let me know if it doesn't but it should!)

Future featers:
- Barbarian invasion support
- more localized recruitment options? (like mercenaries, but in the base building trees)
- more regions/settlements (in a seperate mod)
- recruitable units do not show up in building description. This is a weird issue in the game that I will try to fix without
altering too much of the game.

Known Issues:
- !! game will crash when recruiting diplomats (not sure what to do against this, rebels work in a weird way, so not really a workaround)
- SPQR not playable in custom battles
- Numidia unplayable as a faction in imperial campaign --> This seems to be a hard limit on the amount of factions visible, since adding more icons doesn't fix the issue.
- wrong units showing up in the building description! if you want to know which units you ACTUALLY can recruit, check the custom battle roster of the rebels!

Tips:
- you can't flee from battles. if you lose, you LOSE EVERYTHING. apparently slaves and rebels are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. So you just have to MAKE THEM STAND THEIR GROUND!
- Cities you capture acquire the culture of the army that captured it, which is visible by the flag of its army (each
culture group has its own flag!)
- the culture of a city can be changed by removing its garisson and putting an army with a different culture inside
- once you destroy a facion, al its family members become rebel too! At that point you will be able to adopt named
characters, to make the rebel life a tad bit easier (although, you have to question yourself: do you really want the
rebels to be led by some smug authority figure?)
- since you are already the rebels, settlements can not rebel against you! So you can instill the highest taxes on your
people without consequences! But then again... it's not really something a rebel would do... right?
- move your capital! to a city like athens or something

Let me know if you find any bugs/crashes!
