3. All (western style) factions have winter and summer uniforms.
4. In game uniforms have been totally revamped.
5. Newly added custom battle factions have been added (all Central American nations have their tier 1 units available, others come in due time) (Thanks to the Shark for helping out with this).
6. New sounds and music have been added (Credit to Loup Chantereaux aka Z.A.K).

10. BAI has been totally revamped (Based on JAM's realism mod and Shogun 2 Realism, but tweaked for a more Victorian warfare style).
11. Newly added animation added. Changed the custom made reload animation and reverted back to the vanilla one most people didn't seem to like it that much).
12. Added options to the game where you choose different extra options like no mounted standard bearer for the generals unit, no smoke and trail or a combination of the 2 (find the options on the moddb page).
13. Added Korean voice over (land battle sounds) for the Korean units (Credit to Park Jong Ryul and Kreg).
14. And so much more...
Known issues:
- In the options you can choose to use the mounted standard bearer for the Bodyguards unit or not. This has to do that there is a bug i can't seem to fix. The standard bearer is doing the T pose when the general bodyguards units is or reloading or firing. You choose to use that option or not.

what is an auto installer?
See message below
and do i need it. i just got the first and second of Beta 5 but do i need auto installer
Well, that depends. If you know how to install the game manually, than not (just use the manual installation). Otherwise you can download an installer (as the name implies) and that's aprogram that will automatically install the mod in your Shogun 2 game folder. It's like a tool that does the installation for you.
