The Second Release: What to Expect news - Medieval Kingdoms: Total War mod for Total War: Rome II

Most of the current units have been revamped or adjusted to make them more unique and distinct to their respective factions. Some units have been changed to be a high era unit like the Zweihander and Venetian Heavy Infantry.

New unit cards and loading screens.

New armor and weapon values that should make battles slightly longer.

Polearm units have been given the "pike phalanx" ability and have been buffed.

The aforementioned pike phalanx has been changed so it more closely resembles Medieval 2.

Fixed the faction assignment issue that was causing some people to not get certain factions. Basically this was because some of the factions were on DLC faction slots.

Other minor bugfixes and tweaks.

I think that that is it. Stay tuned for more promotional stuff throughout this upcoming week.
