Latium - the Prequel v4

PLEASE READ THE "KNOWN ISSUES" SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SEGMENT

An unofficial prequel to Hegemony 3 and its main sandbox, this mod focuses on Rome's earliest history from the city's founding to its eventual conquest of the other Latins, with a rough timeframe of 750-330 BC.
It takes place on a new highly detailed, zoomed in map of a smaller segment of Italy, currently using 101 cities to cover an area that only has 8 cities in Vanilla.

COMPATIBILITY
-REQUIRES EAGLE KING DLC
-Fully compatible with Vanilla, the developer-made Macedon mod and all other mods by Fristi61. Not guaranteed to be compatible with mods by other modders, I suggest to disable them while playing.

FEATURES
-A highly zoomed in, detailed map of Latium, currently at 149 playable cities.
---A detailed strategy map, with different zoom levels displaying different geographical information.
---A large density of minor cities with lower stats, rather than the few major cities and buildable forts of vanilla (You can read up on them here)
---City models were, where possible, partially reconstructed from archaeological data
---Custom resource building types providing different amounts of food, gold and wood and with different seasonal distributions of food (You can read up on them here)
-2 scripted campaigns
-2 sandbox scenarios
-A religion mechanic granting faction-wide bonuses for adopting and worshipping deities that replace static faction bonuses and most city upgrades (You can read up on it here or read the tooltips on the new religion interface)
-35 factions across 8 faction groups, complete with custom tech trees, brigade rosters and unit graphics that fit the mod's earlier setting (You can read up on it here)
-Lots of historical information in city, faction and religion tooltips for people interested in learning more about the setting. City tooltips may also have explanations of how archaeological data was involved in recreating them when applicable.

PLANNED FEATURES
-Further script improvements to allow the AI to better utilize religion and other custom upgrades
-Possibly another map expansion and campaign after what’s listed above, if I get around to it

KNOWN ISSUES
-The game can't successfully autosave if the religion interface is open.
The console will open with an error message and the autosave file the game attempted to create will be corrupted. You can simply close the console with F2 and keep playing. Manual saves work fine and the autosave function will also work fine when the religion interface isn't open. (I have no idea why this happens. Seems to be a font issue?)

-Due to an xml parsing error when trying to mod in placeholder buildings for certain props, some cities do not display exactly right in the 3d map at the earlier population levels (there are more buildings than there should be). This is something I can't fix unless the devs look into the parsing error

-Due to a similar xml parsing error as above, I couldn't mod in custom (scaled) wall and bridge props. This causes city walls and bridges to look a little large compared to the rest of the buildings. (Again I can't fix it unless the devs look at the parsing error)

-The mod uses some extra tree types that don’t currently show up in-game unless you manually edit a file in your Hegemony installation. But the mod runs fine without it and the map looks fine even without the extra tree types. (The devs have said they'd look into a modfolder/workshop-friendly way for a mod to use that file, so this might be fixed in a future version)

-Olive grove doesn’t display in the GUI that it also produces food besides wood and gold as the GUI seems limited to 2 resources. (Probably nothing I can do about it unless the devs decide to tweak the GUI to display a 3rd resource if needed)

-Resource tile sprites for the custom resource buildings that show up in the territory overlay are messed up as they refuse to use the custom images I created for some reason. (I suspect due to a bug with modding resource tile sprites that only a dev can fix)

-The game’s boot time may be much longer, possibly up to a few minutes. I suspect this is because of a custom mesh I use for the hastati and principes, but not sure exactly why.

-The AI only rarely builds religion upgrades.
In future versions of the mod this will probably be fixed by a script that occasionally forces certain upgrades on AI cities.
