Purely aesthetic effect. Doesn't affect neutral territories, but only each kingdom's core territories.
-Rewrote the recruit_pool entries for the standard units for Gondor and Arnor. Again. Under the new scheme Gondor should be able to recruit Arnor units in Arnor under all circumstances post Arnor union and pre RK union. And Arnor should be able to recruit Gondor units in Gondor pre-RK.

Text entry changes when you become arnor, as does unit card and unit info card. At that point they are 'upgradable' to dunedain knights and dismounted dunedain knights.
-Cave troll now a tier one troll for all orc factions (except isengard, which has no trolls). Mountain trolls are tier 2 (orocarni mountain trolls for OOOM), snow trolls are tier 3 (battle trolls for mordor, which can also recruit snow trolls in the appropriate territories).

-Created an additional tier for ranges and stables for factions where appropriate.
-Rewrote the text entries for all barracks, ranges, stables, and smiths.
-Rewrote all the text entries for the tavern line of buildings. The graphics don't match the names and for now that's just too bad.

I.e. light units require less than 75% dark culture, medium units require less than 60%, professional less than 34%, elite less than 25%, and very elite less than 15%.

-Also disabled game notes for barracks events in the campaign script, since they are no longer accurate.
-New script allows the exclusion of mercenary recruitment by faction.
-Moved (almost) all unit cards and unit info cards into a single folder. Exceptions: holk (since it is one unit posing as two different ones, for elves and numenoreans), units planned to be removed, units using vanilla info and unit cards (e.g. merc cog, pirate ship), and units I haven't decided whether or not to keep.

-Snaga are now dirt cheap to recruit and maintain. Unit and weapon upgrade costs unchanged.

-Arnor Union and RK now possible without Aragorn, if an heir of Isildur is alive and faction leader
-For scripting reasons, the AI is now exempted from acquiring the king_eriador ancillary (should Aragorn be killed, that is)
-Elendilmir is now heritable
-The Faction Leader trait was not being granted to the faction heir on becoming the faction leader. This has been rectified.
-For the RK script, any Hurinionath may now be sent as envoy to the North Kingdom.
-In Need of Haste trait for House of Andunie leader of a Dunedain faction when his own or his sister kingdom is under invasion.
-New river ford on the Shirebourn south of the Marish
-Removed units as a payback in descr_missions. I found it was making elite units far too common too early in the game. My attempts to figure out how to simply reduce the amounts of units given were unsuccessful, and so it was scrapped altogether.
-Changed the internal names of several territories in Eriador/Enedwaith. Process_cq command in some scripts was malfunctioning due to some in-game names being the same as internal names for different territories.
-Renamed Rhunaer Khurvasagh, and Dorwinion settlement Szrel-Kain
-Renamed Thoronburg Rhunost
-Moved Tharbad slightly to the west.
-Tharbad now represented by only one settlement.
-South Tharbad becomes South Ered Luin, settlement named Tumnogoth Iaur.
-Sauron province no longer needed, becomes The Great Spur, settlement name Daegoras, in the North Orocarni Range.
-Renamed several more provinces and settlements.
-Mounted Dunedain/Dunedain Knights now available with highest level stable
-Dunedain Swordsmen/Dismounted Dunedain Knights now available with highest level barracks
-Merchant units no longer require a smith building to recruit. Presumably they'll buy their arms elsewhere whenever not locally available.
-Rebalancing of recruitment priority offsets.
-Blacksmiths in dunland/dunland hills on campaign start.
-Knights of Annuminas (mounted and dismounted) only available in Annuminas once again.
-Wargs now have 2 extra attack points
-Snaga and orc missile units now all have an extra charge point
-Dunlendings and Rhudaur units now have an extra attack point
-Palantir Authorisation Ancillary no longer used... while conceptually sound, I often found I was resentful of it using up one of the eight ancillary slots, particularly for a general like Aragorn that has so many used up already.
-Respect is now Nobility, and Feared is once again Dread
-Obedience is now Fervour
-Edited tooltips.txt
-Standardized the Effects Descriptions for the EDA
-Preliminary content editing of export_ancillaries.txt
-Shuffled starting ancillaries.
-Overhaul of the EDA's effects and triggers
-Preliminary content editing of strat.txt
-Dwarf rings now begin generating gold on turn five (the event firing on a faction's first turn just felt out of place).
-Lower Rhun province now named Kelepar.
-Talathrant Valley now named Nan Talathrant.
-Fixed the outbound road location in the southern rammas echor exit.
-Amon Din hill and watchtower now exist
-As Moria no longer has its own unique climate, and the subterranean climate, as is, makes it grassy inside the mines, the desolation climate is temporarily being used instead.
-Changed max bribe chance from 75.0 to 0.0 and min bribe chance from 1.0 to 0.0. After testing, I was astounded at the amount of bribery taking place, and the idea of high elves paying off orcs to call off an attack didn't seem quite right. Seems to me the elves would never offer them anything of value, and even if the orcs accepted the bribe, they'd just turn around and attack them anyways. Furthermore, bribery had the unintended consequence of orc units in elven armies, something that shouldn't happen unless an elf-lord became the new dark lord using the ring. That could be remedied, but I don't want to waste the extra unit slots.
-New rebel factions.
-Join Invasion event picture no longer generic cultural event picture.
-Removed the AI boost traits.
-Removed LoyaltyStarter and ReligionStarter.
-Dunlending rebel generals now use Dunlending strat model.
-Battle Model for Grimbeorn now a beorning.
-Toned down the spiders unit stats.
-Fixed the faction summary window button glitch for the arnor union script.
-Hero abilities for more generals on campaign start.
-Mauhur and his lads now begin in Fangorn
-Cair Andros now a castle instead of a Fortress.
-Disabled intro movies. Many are missing or need to be redone.
-Renamed tourney buildings, and changed their capabilities (including staging games).
-Jousting List/Tourney Fields renamed, have wider faction availability, and have different effects.
-Strat pip for games/races now blank, since the horse pip didn't seem appropriate for martial contests. Replacement ideas needed.
-Top to bottom rewrite of EDCT and export_VnVs.txt.
-Many new traits, and some old ones removed.
-Possible results of denouncement attempt by servants of sauron (inquisitors) are now "Executed for Treason" and "Chastised for Dereliction". Trait ForcedReligious also reflects this new flavour.
-Barliman now a general in Bree.
