small additions:
- added option to disable gift message in options menu
- added option to select gender for slaves bought at latifunida
- added events which can only trigger while player is on water, other travelling events won't trigger if player is on water
- added option to hire bandits in their hideouts
- added some explaination to freelancer to game concepts (under section 'Roman Empire' and section 'Some Hints')
changes:
- player can now stage border conflicts also with his own faction
- when marrying a lady lover slot will be cleared if lover is player
- invitation to join faction will not trigger if player is freelancing
- the calculation for value of fiefs used in peace negotiations is now adjusted correctly
- second outfit now used for: senate, palace, villa
- option 'talk about military affairs' is now only available if the lord has a vaild party
- new game only: gave Lords trade skill (normal distributed around 5)
- a change to freelancer camera following enlisted party, it works now like when player is captive: player party is relocated to enlisted party in every frame, if party is active
this will also fix some issues with wrong battle maps, and other small problems
- if player spawns on water without ship he will be relocated to nearest town with port or ferry station, that will finally prevent any issue with freelancer, when player leaves service while party is on water
- controversy changes through special events will now be displayed (should avoid confusion), they are also tweaked
- further rebalanced Nero events, making them less extrem in certain consequences
- certain town decrees will now also effect the spawn of night bandits
- slave treatment reputation change will now apply less often
- if player is legate he will now have the legion icon, if party size is higher than 300
- if lord switches to another faction together with his holdings, the banner of the holding will now be changed accordingly
- indictment for treason and defection should happen now less frequent as kings are more tolerant towards their disloyal vassals now,
- bad personality lords are now less bitchy, i.e. relation loose with liege (if lord is fiefless) is lower and lord wont loose relation at all if he has more than 60,000 wealth
- small speed bonus for routed enemies
- when lords recieve a honrary title they will gain relation with Nero
- removed 'borrow gold' notification
- added random political event: two lords of the same faction can now try to ease their relations with gifts if they have low relation, gift will also benefit poor lords
(there is no personality restriction to this, it seems to be quiet unlikely to trigger and I think also bad personality lords should try to improve their standing in the realm, they may be bad personalities but not stupid at all)
economic changes/lord income changes (still very wonky):
- Lords recieve now loot when they win a battle
- poor lords will now use money from the town wealth too
- poor lords will now recieve money from their liege if needed, additional with a relationship boost
- Nero gives now much more to his Legates
- Lord wealth threshold for building stuff is increased
- Lord wealth threshold for improving equipment is increased
- Lord will not hire mercs if they are very poor
- Lord will increase taxes more if he is poor
- very poor Lords recieve now additonal founds
- Lord pay now their wages properly
- Lord recieves additional money depending on trade skill (in some senses this simulates Lord building enterprices)
- changes to AI building logic
- villages infested by bandits will now generate rents, (but for the player they are still not available, the reason I changed this is the following: AI lords are not able to defeat the bandits, while the player is, so it is unfair for the AI)
Fixes:
- fixed sneaking into town during sieges: equipment of the player will no longer be copied
- fixed jewish revolt not triggering: it will trigger now either during civil war or on an random date after the year 69
- fixed some dialogues: people in monotheistic temples will no longer praise the gods, but praise god, no longer possible to become a vassale as Emperor via emissaries, dialogue with Christians after quest is finished, conquest quests dialogue loop, a censor law change dialogue
- fixed price for buying latifunidum
- fixed arena master spawn
- fixed option to declare your eldest son as higher, it will now only be dislayed if player is Emperor
- removed an unnecessary store troop name command which may caused weird message (thats a left over from native, in VC it is out commented)
- optimisation of a trigger and other adjustments of stochastic triggers due to addition of castles and villages
+
- fixed options menu
- fixed recruitment of bandits in lairs
- fixed troop_does_business_in_center script

This version is NOT savegame compatible

Features in progress but not included yet:
Event to steal silk worm which then allows you to build silk in your latifundium
Flax fields and weaver for Latifunidum
Interactions with minor factions (Gaetuli etc.)

Information for Mac/Linnux:
Tried to make the mod compatible by adding .glsl shaders, they are the native variants of the ones used in the mod. (I have no idea if this works and since I dont have a Mac/Linnux I can't test it.)

A technical remark:
'De-WRECKed' the modul system since the WRECK features where not used at all and there is a compatibility issue with the formation code (in particular, the creation of no-swing weapons list for shield wall formation)

Fixes:

    dancers in the imperial palace can now be dismissed properly
    fixed dialogue 'join Roman army' if player has not enough renown
    fixed a case where rebellions slot is not cleared properly if the player defeates a rebellion in a field battle (not during siege assault)
    fixed collision mesh of several trees
    fixed a possible issue with slave trains traveling from one town to the other instead of dropping of prisoners correctly by resetting their flags and AI slots at creation
    patrols will no longer be disbanded if you cant pay their wages, that may sounds weird, but sooner or later they will get destroyed anyway. (I will maybe move a code into the budget_report, which will disband patrols if you start making debts) The reason I removed it is that I wanted to get ride of some unnecessary triggers which loop over all parties
    fixed a bug where castles could have very high taxes (over several million) due to an unassigned local variable
    added a missing ui string for female accessories: ui_change_accessories (females have earings instead of beards, the earing string was missing)
    fixed gold item exploit
    minor text changes/fixes
    if winning horse race player can now enter feasts
    removed a trigger from diplomacy (related to dplmc_slot_faction_attitude_begin) which caused unexpected bugs for towns between p_town_1 to p_town_13

Changes:

    totally killed (native) pretender
    changed states (and names) of horses
    spears deal now extra damage against horses
    lady quests where you should bring x pieces of y will now spawn the item in the goods merchant shop if the lady was in a town when quest was given
    Introduced Vespasians family into the game: renamed Numerius Flavius to T. Flavius Vespasianus and Mamercus Flavius to T. Flavius Sabinus (the father of Vespasian) and renamed Petronia to Vespasia Polla (mother of Vespasian) renamed Flavia Metella to Flavia Vespasia, renamed Marcus minor Flavius to Flavius Sabinus minor
    some adjustments to names of certain Romans, mainly ladies
    changed some companion dialogues and backstories
    looters now have always an armor
    converting to Christianity via camp menu is now always possible after the fire of Rome happened
    Ceres as starting god or worshiping Aphrodite will now increase romantic chemistry variable by 10 (makes flirting etc a bit easier)
    changed some weapon stats, e.g. armored caligea have now better armor than their non armored counterpart
    a minor adjustment to the default moral settings: when an enemy soldier dies, allies nearby will gain a small moral boost
    when the player has more than 20 troops and is roman, camp scenes will look like proper Roman marching camps
    caravans and traders will now drop of prisoners in towns
    heroes can no longer get decapitated
    Alexandrian scene finally has a coastline
    optimized a moral trigger by excluding horses from calculation
    aquilifer and vexilarius now give moral bonus whenever a troop dies, only available if 'Moral effect of leaders and Aquila' is enabled
    no 'clone' Romans any more. All the Roman armors now are divided into helmet and armor items (how it should be). Roman troops now have new beardless faces, Roman Auxiliary troops may have beards
