The mod also expands significantly on the map, introducing new factions and a even a New World analogue while reworking existing ones. While the game starts off somewhat more advanced than in the base game, over the course of time, the familiar medieval aesthetics and arms of the 'vanilla' game slowly change, ultimately becoming more befitting the 16th-17th Centuries, complete with firearms and more elaborate Bling of War.
