- Senate strategy is now Smith
- Carthage strategy is now Smith

Update May 17:

- Seleucids start with Late General's Cavalry
- Egypt starts with Late General's Cavalry
- Rome starts rest of Southern Italy
- Rome starts with 4 Extra Triarii + General up North, 1 Triarii + 1 Velites in Sicily

- Macedon starts with 3 extra Macedonian Cavalry near Thessalonica
- Macedon starts with 2 Macedonian Cavalry in Thessaly instead of 1 Companion Cavalry
- Carthage starts with 1 group of Elephants in Sicily instead of War Elephants
- Carthage starts with 1 group of Elephants in Spain instead of War Elephants
- Seleucids start with 2 Group of Scythed Chariots, 1 Silver Shield Pikemen near Bostra with other units

- Britons start with 8000 Denarii

Update May 11, 2021: Fixed bug with Parthia, Susa starting with a City Barracks rather than Militia Barracks (which would cause exit error). This happened because in my mod I had enabled City Barracks for Parthia, and I made the campaign here playable for the original game.

- Rebels start with Jerusalem and have a much better army there (10 units)

Factions have increased starting Denarii: 8000, 10000, 12000, 15000 or 20000. Computer strategies have changed making Egypt (Henry) and Scythia (Genghis) different to deal with. Other factions now use a more powerful strategy (Napoleon). Senate (Rome) now uses a new strategy (Smith). All of these help the AI train harder armies to beat.

I have aimed these ideas towards keeping the campaign-map available for the player's conquest rather than just having each AI steamroll each other.
