It was pointless to resist... The DarthMod series of Mods strikes back to destroy all gameplay inconsistencies of the original game and offer you better AI, realistic battles and unequaled challenge.

Many factions have their own unique unit roster. Take control of any of the German or Italian States, or perhaps you preference is in the East - can you lead the Mughals, Mysore, Persia or even the Sikhs to glory,

You could always play as pirates just go to the launcher and go to campaigns and click custom. Now everyone is unlocked except for emergent. Also pirates if very broken With only 2 units and some cannons for the whole game and the only way to trade is to make your home region a trade port and every thing you capture must have a trade port to get money also to be able to use the trade anchors.

Pirates don't need trade. That's what plundering ships is for.

Custom was made for addons, it looked like you could play Pirates but you cannot command troops, nor do you have territory

Actually casus belli is correct, even though the title can be whatever and they probably won't change it anyway

wrong... because the whole "declinatio" is wrong... plural of
casus, -us, masculinum sonuds:
N casus
G casuum
D casibus
A casus
V casus
Ab casibus

It is casus both in singular and plural.

And yet you are wrong too, i think it is causa, causae what it´s refering to in the title, that can be translated in english as the reason or motivation or cause or occasion or pretence etc..
Casus, casus, that you have mentioned, has a completely different meaning in latin and the obviosly in other languages, it can means something like fall, overthrow, misfortune, accident, error, even death in some case and etc.
So it´s very likely that he refers to causa, causae and the title isn´t incorect, because causa belli means exactly "A reason for the war" or "A reason of war" or even more litteraly "reason of war", in this case belli refers to bellum, bella neutral second declination, wich means that the genitive form of the singular is belli, that translated means "of war".

Ok, you are making good point here, but still i am not happy woth the title because in casus belli is political term used since roman times up to modern age. I know that it os mentioned in caesars "De bello Gallico", probably even earlier becaise it is not term Caesar invented, but i personaly have not seen the example so i will not guarantee it. Term casus belli is term so unchanged and regular across the ages that we can call it formula.
Again i am not saying that what you writed here is wrong, you made some good points from linguistic points and I agree woth them, i am just not happy with this titlw because correct as it may be from linguist point of view is politically clumsy at best.

Two different point of wiew, causa is, gramatically speaking of course, more correct, casus in the other hand like u say is correct too because it became a formula in time, so it´s all about what you like best in the end. Personaly I liked them both, not because one is more gramaticaly correct then the other or viceversa the other is more used the other one, but because i liked the mod :D

I tried installing this while following the instructions on TW center, but the units added had no names (like "line infantry" or "militia" etc. etc.) in game, in the custom battle menu, or in the grand campaign. Anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

Thats because the new mine in dagastan causes ctds if armies go near. Also Deli horsemen cause CTDs always. so if your playing the ottomans disband the 1 unit of deli horsemen you start with.
