I may have forgotten a few changes but I think that's about all of them. Wow now that I think about it, I made a ton of changes. But the effect isn't that big. I do not consider this mod finished yet, as I want to add new Castle Age unique techs for every civilization like The Forgotten did, which I have started to do,
I will consider suggestions and try to implement them if I like them. I know that some people will not like some of the changes, and I am open to criticism.
