You can see that while adding something new, I still try not to waste the assets created by developers in the past, and to maintain the entertainment as much as possible.
I spent a lot of time searching and reading the cultural and historical details of these 3 civs. However, due to language barriers, the part of the Indians may not be as accurate as the parts of the other two civs. If there is a better name to reflect its effects, comments are welcome.
Thank you for reading.
