This mod increases villager speed for slow civilizations (Non-Assryian/Yamato) to a level marginally below the Assy/Yama bonus.

It also balances other features, including Sumerian Villager (HP), Greek cavs (cost), Hittite ships (range)

Assyrian/Yamato maintain their speed bonus, and villagers are unchanged.

This will allow all civilizations to be used, and for fairer, more balanced games.

For a full and updated list of balances, see below.

Any questions on this, reasons for changes, or potential other mods, please ask!

Thanks for advice, ideas and help with testing to Last_to_Fall, Seppuko and [MKC]MeGaBooM.

Enjoy!
