UPDATE CHANGELOG PART 2

**Sheridan** · January 19, 2019, 04:08 PM

Welcome once again!

This is the second preview of the January update for Ancient Empires. The past couple of weeks have been busy ones. As you know, the patch was delayed by five days, a consequence of life interfering with ambitious plans. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is near, and tomorrow (if all goes well!) Ancient Empires will receive its biggest patch as of yet.

So what's new since last time? Let's find out!

Summary

Complete building overhaul for Hellenistic factions; ongoing improvements will be patched in over the next couple of days (does not require restart)
New building icons for many factions, in particular Hellenic and Eastern main settlements
All non-barbarian capitals now have 5 tiers
Completely redone garrisons, recruitment and effects for capitals
New garrisons for the garrison chain
All-new Roman chapter objectives and bonus objectives!
Several reworked rosters (combat stats and roles)
Several reworked faction traits
Fixed missing buildings for certain factions
Fixed bug where AI would not recruit navies
Fixed previous bugs with AoR unit recruitment
Added descriptions for hundreds of more units and buildings (still WIP!)
Major startpos updates

Although shorter than the previous one, we hope you will enjoy this changelog as well. There is still much work to be done, and smaller issues/bugs/missing icons should be expected on January 20th. With that said, we think and hope this will be the most polished, exciting version of Ancient Empires to date.

4TPY is the new default. No imperial script was planned for this update

with this in mind, i deleted the optional 4tpy submod, as it seems redundant? would you also recommend deleting the Supply System submod or it hasnt been integrated into the main mod (yet?) and thus still needed?

many thanks

I assume this update is not save-gamecompatibile? Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded it. I'm currently playing as Pergamon and my son and heir Philetaerus has a female portrait when I select him. Right now he's 12 so I don't know if he's gonna have that face when he comes of age.
