Save game compatible, please load above (before) the main mod. Most submods will not be compatible until updated.
Empire Divided Note: Please be aware this campaign is in its very early stages of redesign. There will be anachronistic units and other elements not up to full mod standards. We will be working on this campaign over time and this is just the beginning. Our main goal right now is to make it playable using mod units with some basic unit changes to match the time period. Along with a few new campaign features, this will be the first phase of our efforts.
