This is a modification improving the Aztec town, with the purpose of giving it a more realistic aesthetics, especially compared to what CA did with vanilla textures.. pure crap as in according to my personal opinion/taste. The mini-mod required me lots of months of hard working to be done/finished and i hope you will appreciate anyway what i have done here... even if you may not like it (this depends by your personal tastes as anything on this earth) 
WHAT'S NEW
- Realistic Mesoamerican city wall blocks system
- Realistic Mesoamerican town bricks
- Realistic hay roofs
- Other textures
- Realistic Mesoamerican paved road texture

To play this minimod you have running the game via io.file_first
HOW TO CREATE io.file_first, NECESSARY TO LAUNCH THE GAME WITH UNPACKED GAME:
to create the .bat alternative exe of the game, io.file_first:
To do this, copy your medieval2.preference.cfg file and name the copy "mymod.cfg"
Then open "mymod.cfg" with a text editor and add the following to the top:
[io]
file_first = 1
[log]
to = logs/system.log.txt
level = * error
This will tell the game to use the files it finds in the data directory instead of those in the packs.
It will also enable error logging to a custom error log, which is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.
In order to be able to start your game using this config, create a new text file inside your MTW2 directory called mymod.bat
Open it (right-click, edit) and write this into it:
Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat
now open your data directory (inside your MTW2 directory) and delete or rename descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt (this is important - if you don't do it, your game won't run)
If you're going to include this mini-mod for your modification, please insert my name and mod's name in your credits...
