Economy expansion mod for Knights of Honor

This mod expands economy with various gameplay tweaks, new trade goods, creates more strategic town development by adding more delicate buildings and upgrades, adds more balance and diversity between cultures. The economy of this mod is inspired with other games like Anno, Settlers and Stronghold series.
Overall goal of this mod was to try add more diversity and challenge to the game.
For first time players this mod may be complicated or hard, before using this mod, I would suggest playing original game at least once.

This mod run on 1.05 game version, and it's compatible with all resolution patches for KoH - install EEM version that correspond to your game version.
This mod change some UI elements and must be installed after resolution patches if you wanna use them, not before.
This mod is not compatible with other mods!

  Added unique buildings (Wonders) to cities of Cairo (Pyramids) and Constantinople (Hagia Sophia).
• Production chain, building order, requirements and bonuses for some of the original buildings are changed to better fit and balance with new buildings.

I made some additional mini mods that can be used to customize this mod and your game preferences.
- Units multiplier
This mod will incrise number of men in squads (x2, x4, x10), but not the numbers of siege mashines.
- Cities development
Fortified cities: start game with all cities on map beeing fortified with stone walls and some basic industry. Harder to conquer new provinces, easier to defend.
Classic cities: classic start as in normal game, randomly generated improvments. Easier to conquer new provinces, harder to defend.
- Education
This mod will change resource cap for books and number of books required to upgrade governors.
High education cost: Makes game more balanced and harder. Upgrades cost up to 9500 books, this will make books more valuble in late game.
Low education cost: Makes game easier. Upgrades cost up to 1500 books.
