Advanced Americas
This mod improves the relevant Kingdoms campaign.
Main features
-Active volcanoes of the period are on the map. Example:
-Gunner model changed to Musketeer model.
-European unit rosters reorganized especially the Spanish one. They had fewer armor than the game suggests.
-New Spanish light cavalry.
-Historic events - mainly news from Europe for the Spanish faction.
-Settlements start with almost doubled number of inhabitants but growth will be less.
-Playing with New Spain will be more difficult, the money is few and there are far less Spanish units available. You need to hire natives as they did historically.
-Some buildings cost more.
-Natives need to defeat more cavalry and musketeers before learning their use.
