CONTENT GOALS MILESTONE REACHED:

- Playable Factions now feel unique enough even compared to other of their "same culture" factions.

- The themes for each faction have been reinforced while making each more versatile, fun and specially balanced.

- No more terrible at something factions: Each faction has its own strengths and weaknesses but no longer are there factions with absolutely no foothold on some key battle areas like no infantry or no cavalry for example.

Those extremely lacking factions have been given units that fulfill that role without changing the focus of the faction but adding additional layers of tactical options for them.

With all that said, our original design goals for the mod have been achieved.

We are now moving to polishing and feedback based additions.

Update: 23 Aug @ 8:47pm

IBERIAN FACTIONS:

- Arevaci: As the ultimate Horselords faction of Iberia the Arevaci have received:
* Horse Maidens from Cantabria (as Generals).
* Mercenary Horse Skirmishers from Cantabria.
* Mercenary Desert Chariots from Africa.
* Mercenary Phoenician Marines from the Phoenician Colonies of Iberia.

- Lusitani: As the master seafearers of the atlantic coasts of Iberia the Lusitani can now import:
* Mercenary Elephants Shipped from Africa.
* Mercenary Leopard Spearmen from Africa.

With these changes and their new tactical options the Iberian Factions are finally differentiated among themselves and have a fighting chance against their foes in equal terms.
