-Unpack the zip
-Put the banana folder into you mods folder of you Medieval 2 installation
-Start the mod with the provided bat in the banana folder
-should work for steam an cd version
-You will need a clean Mediel 2 installation (NO! Other mod that is installed in the base game folder! - if its a mod folder mod, like this one, there will be no problem)
-You might want to use the english language in the game (but it should work regardless if you use another language -i think)
-Do not copy the banana folder into a previous alpha version of this mod, or have the great idea, that this is a submod of Total Vanilla Beyond (it is not, its a standalone mod!)

Campaign Map:
Roughly doubled the size:
-The original Americas Campaign Map is integrated into the Grand Campaign map.
-Some Regions from the other expansions made it as well into the map
-The Caribbean Islands are greatly expanded
-South America is expanded as well
-Some new settlements in the Grand Campaign Map part to fill some empty regions out or have more islands (Gotland, Baleares, Malta, Island, Greenland, etc.)
-Changed some starting conditions for settlements (made Tunis and Cagliari into a city, instead of a castle, etc.)
-The Americas Map is almost exactly the same with the resources and growth conditions and settlement states. Slightly lowered the rebel occupational forces of slave settlements
-A literal Eastern Egg on the map
Travel:
-You can travel with every ship to the americas through deep sea corridors
Units:
-Imported all (or most) of the units from the kingdoms expansion
Traits & Ancillaries:
-Imported all (or most) traits and ancillaries from the kingdoms expansion
Religion & Culture:
-Great Spirit religion for the Apachean only
-Sun God religion for all other americas factions
-Native American Culture for Apachean only
Settlements & Forts:
-Imported the Meso Settlements and Native Indian Settlements from the kingdoms expansion (there is some weird thing with the shadows on these maps, but it is in the original game too. So do not blame me.)
-Imported the stone forts. They are not permanent (i think)
Sound & Music:
-Imported all new faction Sounds, Voices and some Music from the kingdoms expansion
Event & Mechanics:
-Lithuania can convert and get access to other units and loses the pagan ones. You have two chances.
-Apachean do have a war path "mechanic" but it is tied to a trait that lets the generals army move like it would be on a jihad. This will only correctly trigger, if you beat an army in a open field and the general is the sole named character in the stack. The effect will subside once the general takes a settlement or loses a battle.
-Apachean recruitment mechanic (you have to train 20, 50, units of a class bow, foot, etc. to get access to better buildings and units, have to defeat an army with horses x times to get horses, have to defeat an army with gunpowder x times to get access to gunpower troops. Same for the Chichimeca.
-Jerusalem, You have to hold certain settlements in the holy land (Tripoli, Antioch, Jerusalem,Edessa, Krak...) to get access to certain units. Without them you only have access to your basic roster. Important! This is no regional recruitment thing, you can recruit a Tripoli Knight everywhere, as long as you hold Tripoli. - Only faction to have access to Unique units like the Constabler or the Sepulcher Canons.
-HRE; to gain access to Teutonic Order expanded units you have to have a teutonic order guild building and hold certain settlements (Stettin, Marienburg, Riga). Also the availability is tied to certain military buildings. Christ Knights and Swordbrethren are only available in the Baltics region.

BETA 2
!Important! Please do not copy the beta 2 into the beta 1 folder you may already have! just delete the old "banana" folder and place the new one in the "mods" folder
What has changed:
-corrected missing entries in the xpanded.txt which caused ctds
-expanded unit availability for france, england, hre in the americas
-tried to nerf the green monster wave, otherwise know as wales
-some minor changes to settlements
-removed the deep sea between europe and americas completely
-mesos can now build ships after the gunpowder event, if they can conquer a port
-mesos later access to merc ships
-castle settlements can not be build in the americas, only cities
-some minor changes to some factions
-fixed some missing unit portraits
-upped the movement range of everyone slightly
-tried to make the ai a bit more aggressive
-fixed (hopefully) the diplomatic text issues
-integrated my full debt script
-mesos culture settlement level is now corrected to max city
-some other things i do not recall
-added the "americas" hidden resource to all americas lands (now the european americas units can be recruited properly everywhere there)
What is know and not solved right now:
-merchant cav shields textures in wales are off
-ladder and tower might not match the walls (they work, but fit not the size)
-some rough edges on the coastlines
-mangonel sounds are missing (explosion, etc)
What is to come:
-bugfixing
-i am thinking about a "hardmode" where it is at the beginning of a campaign for the player to decide if the kings purse of all ai factions is upped by "10.000 money" or something like this (testing). this may lead to a very active ai, that takes on the americas.
-i found room for two more units, i will soon decide what to do with them
-i think i have 2 unuses resources, will see, what i do with them maybe i port over glass and honey and make them respectively unique to the levant and lithuanian regions, we will see.
-undecided about the fate of stone forts - buildable and destroyable/permanent or preplaced (for now i tend to preplaced and bring back the wooden forts as buildable, if that is possible.
