It's been quite a journey, after so many years I am so happy to present to you a more finished version of the The Italian Wars | Ultimate.
This version has included many of the planned scripts to increase gameplay and bring all the minor factions to life. Though it is not yet finished.. Nevertheless all missing events are fully written but I haven't found the time yet to implement them into the mod. Which means there is still hope to see this mod being finished in the future.

You will find a more than playable version below. Of course, it has not been tested as I did intent, but I'll stick around to lend you guys a hand if any major issue occur.
