Not to denounce the work off you guys of course, it's just that some people may not like it all 'realistic' because that's what some people are trying to avoid when gaming. If it is cut into large sub sections for instance then i could deselect the mechanics that i don't like, or at least most off them? (the fact that cavalry will not charge some units and that my tier 3 unit can either die against a tier 2 unit because they are to tired or that my units can rout when they only lose 10% off their men). Can i for instance choose to not use some new mechanics because i don't like it all that much? How will the mod be uploaded to the steam workshop? (as a whole or in modular parts). Question from a modders/mainstream point off view I hope this helps those who are struggling to understand how and why AE works the way it does. I will later go on to expand into the campaign mechanics to explain those even more confusing and new aspects that are also entirely different than anything in Attila so far. To make the transition easier I have added some tips on how to play AE and why the battles act in the way that they do, explaining all the intricate mechanics that I have put into it over the years. I have done this because a lot of people seem to be confused by the way the combat in AE works, as it is different to vanilla and showcases a much more authentic immersion into Ancient Warfare and relies more on positioning, reserves and fatigue conservation than is normally present in battle mods. For now it concentrates on the different battle mechanics.

This guide is currently a work in progress that will go on to cover all aspects of Ancient Empires in great detail.
