ARCADE mod v2 by Ralf Solo 03-2011

For Third_Age 2.1
Hello, a little mod for an old man like me who doesn't have so much time to play.

- All buildings/ units in 1 turn.
- full recruit slots for city and castles (9).
- new mercenaries to recruit (include Trolls ans Ents).
- money money for every Factions.
- +300 years life span for heroes and generals.
- more family members (added childs to factions).
- evil crusade more often.
- assassination and bride reduce to 10 % success.
- extra morals to troops to fight till death ( but can be routed still).
- double ammo for projectiles units to handle fearless enemies.
- Long campaign goals expended (Good factions have to destroy all Evil Factions and Evil Factions have to destroy all good factions).
- Council rewards with units only.
- +1500 turns campaign.
- Settlements more fast to upgrade.
- Some buildings have extra bonus.

Result : challenging Evil forces, especially Mordor
Tested with very hard campaign and normal battle difficulty (no bug)

----------
UPDATED 31/03/2011

- more mercenaries
- HOTSEAT ready with all battles enabled (the turn human player and allied AI VS ennemy AI !!!)
- no skirmish, AI will fight from their castle walls
- The history campaign added

Note : in case of CTD during AI turn , save your game just before the crash and load it
