It has been awhile since I released Nomads on the Horizon. Life endeavors and responsibilities definitely take priority sometimes. In this release, I mainly focused on the Rebels and Mercenaries. However I also gave a lot of attention to the AI and it's expansion patterns. There are many path finding issues in vanilla that have been fixed thanks to a very thorough research thread on totalwar.org also some bugs with the Nomads have been fixed and a few scripts were fixed and added.
Spain Can now have a more direct line of attack to Numantia

Units:
I have added 19 mercenary units and 17 Rebel units to the map. This adds the same amount of diversity to the game as in v8 when I added specific units to each faction. This should conclude the reskins that seem reasonable to include in the game. However I might still have a few in the future.
