yes the mod is great… the only issue is that the game crashes if I try to play custom campaigns, already played them with Omkar historical reskin and was looking forward to play with this mod too. Other than than enjoying standard game and campaigns
- Juggernaught - Thanjavur - Rise of the Chola Dynasty
- StereoQuasar163 - Rise of the Ming Dynasty

EAST MEETS WEST
Portuguese arrive in Bengal
On 9 May 1512, a fleet of four ships commanded by João da Silveira from the Estado da India arrived in Chittagong from Goa.[8] They were followed by several embassies from the Kingdom of Portugal to the Sultanate of Bengal, then reputed as the wealthiest region in the Indian subcontinent. He set up the first Portuguese factory in Bengal at Chittagong in 1517.[9] Traders from Portuguese Malacca, Bombay and Ceylon also frequented the region.[8]
In 1528, the Sultan of Bengal permitted the Portuguese to establish factories and customs houses in the Port of Chittagong.[8] A fort and naval base was established in Firingi Bandar. The settlement grew into the most prominent Eurasian port on the Bay of Bengal during the Age of Discovery.[11] The cartaz system was introduced and required all ships in the area to purchase naval trading licenses from the Portuguese.[12][13] In 1590, the Portuguese conquered the nearby islands of Sandwip under the leadership of António de Sousa Godinho.[14] In 1602, the Sandwip island of Chittagong was conquered by the Portuguese from Kedar Rai of Sripur.[Wikipedia]

Looks nice! Only criticism is that the Battleship looks anachronistic and out of place. A Caravel would have done fine.

Just wanted to make the portuguese look different
EAST MEETS WEST
The aztec historian Chimalpahin Quauhtlehuanitzin, writes the following about the arrival of Tanaka Shōsuke and its embassy in Mexico-Tenochtitlan in 1610:
“Today, Thursday in the afternoon, the 16th of the month of December of the year 1610, at 6 o’clock, was when perhaps as many as nineteen people from Japan, China, arrived and entered here in the city of Mexico.
[…]
And they came gotten up as they are gotten up up there; they wear something like an ornamented jacket, doublet, or long blouse, which they tie at their middle, their waist; there they place a katana of metal, which counts as their swords. … They seem bold, not gentle and meek people, going about like eagles”
This was the first trip sanctioned by the Shōgun from Japan to Spain, with the goal of creating trade relations between the island nation and the crown of Spain. The party crossed the pacific and landed in New Spain (in the city of Mexico, that was mostly rebuilt as a European style city), before embarking to Europe. More can be read about this journey there (wikipedia link).
