• Order of Santiago- available for Castile&Leon and Portugal
• Order of Montesa- available for Aragon after the suppression of the Templars

New monetary unit

The denari was chosen as the monetary unit in 1143. This choice was based in the fact that it was one of the monetary units used by the Almoravids and then by the Almohads. The denari circulated not only in Iberian Peninsula and North of Africa but it could also be found in the rest of Europe (due a lack of precious metals in the continent during the 12-13th century). It also used as a reference for Iberian Christian Kingdom to create their coins.

Titles

The mod included titles that are given to generals. These titles will be available only in some cities. The titles given by Portuguese cities will be available only after the turn 30.

New Script

The file campaign_script.txt contains 85897 lines. It's responsible for several features, events and missions.
