Here is a breakdown of the main changes or additions:

Roman military and administrative titles are now dependent upon the particular province. The provincial administration looks like this, using the the Gaullic Diocese as an example.

Praefectus praetoria Galliarum:

whose effects are: +2 Management, +2 Influense, 10% bonus on tax income, 15% discount on construction costs, -1 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, -10% to Movement Points

and requires the following attributes to gain the office; Management > 1, Influence > 1 and Loyalty > 0.

Then come the Vicarius Galliae:

whose effects are: +1 Management, +1 Influence, 5% bonus on tax income, 10% discount on construction costs, -1 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, -10% to Movement Points

Then under the Vicarius Galliae is a series of govenors

(consularis/praeses) whose effects are:
+1 Management, +1 Influence, 5% discount on construction costs, -1 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, -10% to Movement Points

You will notice that all administrative titles have negative effects for all aspects military. This is to replicate the division between adminstrative and military positions.

Again using Gaul as an example, for the military posts we first have the:

Magister Militum Galliam:

whose effects are: +2 Defence, +1 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, +1 Command when fighting against Barbarians, -1 Management

then under him a number of Comes and Dux whose effects are:

+1 Management, -1 from unrest (improves public order), +2 Defence and pluses for fighting against particular enemies, for example

Comes Gallia; +1 Command when fighting against Barbarians
Comes Hispaniarum; +1 Command when fighting against Barbarians
Comes Britanniae; +1 Command when fighting against Barbarians
Dux limitis Mauretaniae Caesariensis;+1 Command when fighting against Desert People

The magisters require the following attributes to gain the title: Command > 2, Influence > 1, Loyalty > 1 and the comes require the following attributes; Loyalty > 0, Command > 1

So for a character to gain an administrative or military title, the faction has to be in possession of at least some parts of the Gallic Diocese.

Foederati Recruitment

Foederati were not really recruitable until the foedus signed between the Goths and the Romans in 382AD apart from the Franks who signed a treaty with Julian in 358AD. So all foedus, with the exception of the Ghassanids are recruitable via a scripted trigger. This is to better reflect the historical changes over the 50 year timeframe for this mod.

These are the following scripted triggers:

358AD - Frankish Foedus

Recuited in Augusta-Treverorum and Colonia-Agrippina

380AD - Greuthungi Goths/Hunnic Foedus

Recuited in Sirmium and Aquincum

382AD - Thervingi Goths Foedus

Recuited in Serdica, Marcianopolis and Hadrianopolis

395AD – Gaelic Foedus

Recuited in Eburacum

410AD - Germannic Foedus

Recuited in Argentoratum, Carnuntum and Hadrianopolis Augusta-Vindelicorum

These triggers will allow the recruiting of foederati by allowing foederati buildings to be built.

Of course barbarians can still be recruited as mercenaries.

Sassanid Satrapy Titles

The Sassanids, similiarily can also gain the title of Satrapy for a particular province and is gained via being in possesion of that particular city corresponding to the province.

The effects for this title is: +2 Management, +2 Influense, 10% bonus on tax income, 15% discount on construction costs, -1 Morale for all troops on the battlefield, -10% to Movement Points, so is similiar to the roman adminstrative effects.

Lahkmid Arab Ethnic Traits

Changes to 361AD and 365AD Campaigns

In these campaigns the Iazyges Sarmatians are no longer available as a faction having been effectively destroyed by Constantius II, though unts can be recruited as auxiliary and mercenary troops. There place has effectively been filled by the Quadi.

Other Changes

Frankish infantry have had a makeover

Elite Germannic Infantry can now be recruited in campaign
Gaelic Heavy Cavalry can also be recruited in campaigns.

New ancillary portraits by Joar
