This mod also adds a revolutionary new way to defeat or ally with your enemies by using diplomats. Two new buildings have been also added: the library and the Academy, which allows you to train scholars(Who empower your army to fight better.) and diplomats(Who can make peace with enemies.), the library however is a new way to research new upgrades and improvements. There will also be some extra embellishment units(Which I got the honor of previewing.) as a bonus. As of now, the mod is 70% complete and will be released as soon as the Hoplites mod is finished.
