This is the second version of this vanilla-styled mod, I decided to complete it because it was unfinished and a little buggy.
This is the second version of Purple Macedon, it uses the BI.exe instead of the original RTW.exe, it adds hording and shield wall primarily, as well as Parthia as an emergent faction, and a rebel faction for Romans.
