UNIT/BALANCE SYNOPSIS:

Aside from a few elite units and specialized counters, these rosters are not supposed to be stronger than, say, the imperial one. They lack fear/terror units and their strong assets are balanced by harder recruitment/replenishment, but they should be able to fight well with combined arms and, in time, tech-buffed veteran armies that can bloody well teach the moustached northerners what a merc host can do.
Estalia specializes in tough and versatile veterans (think Conquistadores), Tilea on armoured units, Border Princes on agile irregulars helped by warrior elites. All of them can also count on restricted dwarfen allies.

BUILDINGS AND TECHS:

All these factions share 12 tech nodes you can pick at whatever time. Loosely, 4 military, 4 leadership and 4 civil techs. In addition, three unique techs each that become available when the preceding row is completed.
All of them also get a unique recruitment building (Mercenary hubs) and economic upgrades (Art Workshops, on Marble&Dyes resources). New World Colonies depend instead from the Homeland Expeditions chain. New landmarks include ritual chains (in Vortex) and one each for Skavenblight and Miragliano!

USE and COMPATIBILITY:

- Some imperial units were removed from their recruitment (e.g., Greatswords, pistoliers/outriders) but still show up in custom battle for compatibility reasons (marked, don't use).
- Some climate edits that may override related reworks.

1. Compatibility:

- The mod is compatible with pretty much everything vanilla-friendly. Balance overhauls may/will be a problem. See FAQs for more from our field reporter, or the collection above for examples of what's surely compatible.

2. UNLOCKERS:

You need an unlocker to play: Mixu's or Crynsos's.
- The two unlockers WILL have some differences.
- Mod WILL work without unlockers for the AI (minus tech tree and landmarks).

- See first link in FAQs if something's wrong.

LORE AND SOURCES:

All in all, I consider this as lore-friendly as it can go with armies that almost never had official rules. I expanded these factions based on what I could grab of the official lore (mostly pre-6th ed), RPGs, good old improv and historical XVI century stuff, mediating to keep it balanced and interesting.
