Hi all,

INTRODUCTION
So I have been playing and saw some wierd things like bucellari sudenly branching from archer and archiving ton of skill with horse, menavliaton being useless and are killed easy by archers.

So decided to try my modding abilities to change some things. Originally I wanted to create a third branch from imperial recruit, where we could upgrade to "palaic" types and then branch again to 3 posibles: a varangian type of infantry, vlandian chargers and battanian skirmishers, all imperialized. Unfortunatly Ive tryed and so far having 3 options to upgrade have result in sure crash just by opening the unit tab to upgrade.

So I have other plans...

What this tweaked does?
In general changes a lot of armor pieces for others, in particular expands some troops trees, change others, read belove:

• All Imperial are renamed to Calradian, now including, caravans and militia.
• Bucellari now is part of "noble" troop tree, and has 2 lower tiers.
• Added "Palatine Guard" to "noble" troop tree as heavy cav unit, like a vlandian.
• Menavliaton has now 3 tiers and all have shields heavier than legionary counterpart
  

Note: If you want more specifical info, read changelog.

Future PlansSince I couldnt do the thing mention above, I decided instead try other things. In short after this next updates will change the following things:

Menavliaton will no longer have shield, instead of spear will have a pike, Why? cuz Byzantine menavliaton used to use pikes/long spears.
Archer will be changed to a skirmisher (shield and javellins), then will branch into trained archer and trained skirmisher. In other words crossbow/archer will branch as used to in vanilla.
Will try to make militia into a tree type, right now it is like this: militia spearmen (lvl 11), militia veteran spearmen (lvl 21). And as bandit troops to "reintegrate" into normal troop tree.

Conclusion
As always if you have comments, suggestions, thoughts, etc. Leave a coment. And I you want feel free to use this mod to modding your own thing.
