===Version 9.0.1 Changes===

===Factions===
 +
 
 +
You can play as the following factions:
 +
 
 +
====Rome Total War====
 +
 
 +
=====Roman Factions=====
 +
House of Julii, House of Brutii, House of Scipii
 +
 
 +
=====Barbarian Factions=====
 +
Gauls, Germans, Britons, Spain, Dacia
  
−
*New more dynamic fatigue system that changes (indirectly) how the hard coded fatigue affects the units. Before the units would tire too much, especially when the battles are long, and this made the troops to become too slow and ineffective (due to the very harsh hard coded penalties). For some very light troops you may watch them to never get tired but this is better than having an army of exhausted troops that run with -50% less speed (the hard coded parameter that is insane).
+
=====Greek Factions=====
−
*Movement modifiers balanced for the new fatigue system.
+
Greeks, Macedonians, Kingdom of Pontus
−
*Better Arrow, Javelin, Pilum damage balance.
 
−
*Roman units have now slightly more men and are balanced accordingly. They are very tough to win overall.
 
  
−
===Changes from old version 8.1===
+
=====African Factions=====
 +
Egyptians, Numidia, Carthage
  
−
*New easy installer which includes everything in one package.
+
=====Eastern Factions=====
−
*Great deal of unit balances all around.
+
Armenia, Parthia, Scythia, Thrace, Seleucids
−
*New more historic balance for Romans. They have smaller units to reflect their unique maniple system and their stats/cost are balanced accordingly. If you play against them you will fear them more than ever because they can beat you with much smaller numbers. If you play with them you will appreciate their power but you must be more careful when the enemy army is too big... it will frequently be bigger as it was in history.
 
−
*Macedon became more unique as it can built bigger cavalry units.
 
−
*The mass system is greatly enhanced and reflects better the violence/tension/ferocity of the hellenistic era melees. In fact the melees and havoc is better than newer unmodded Total War games as there is much more action everywhere.
 
−
*Corrected a bug in Briton formations, appearing when the AI had a lot of chariots.
 
−
*Some projectile physics improvements.
 
−
*Even more realistic unit battle movement speed (only when a unit routs can become very slow. This is a hard coded error of the game that lowers, mysteriously the unit speed when it routs).
 
−
*Elephants balanced better (they were too strong).
 
−
*Added support for the Rome: Total War Alexander expansion (you need to download & install separately).
