>>> AUM-ROM 1.5 - 21.10.13

- balancing changes related to the RADIOUS full overhaul version

um_rom_mod_rad.pack

>>> AUM-ROM 1.3 - 12.10.13
- minor improvements related to patch 4
- Auxiliary Roman Archers and Helvetii Longbow Hunters can use the new button "l
oose formation" which CA added in patch 4
- raised the unit cap to 10 for the Helvetii Longbow Hunters and Helvetii Oathsw
orn Spear Brothers
- removed all unlocked AUX vanilla units from the custom battle screen as there
is a CA bug, which causes a CTD if the faction Rome is selected in the faction m
enu on the right side.
If a player uses several unit pack mods which add custom or unlocked vanilla uni
ts to the faction Rome, then this CTD can happen in the custom battle screen if
Rome is choosen on the right side as enemy. This bug is related to all unit pack
s. I made the decision to remove all unlocked vanilla AUX units from the faction
Rome because of this new discovered bug from CA. To make sure that AUM-ROM can
be played with other unit pack mods. I will look at these unlocks again as soon
as this CA bug is fixed.
>>> AUM-ROM 1.2 - 10.10.13
- slightly re-balanced all three units in both AUM-ROM versions

- added the Roman vanilla unit "Vigiles" to the campaign: Military main building
s 1-4 / Auxiliary buildings 2-4
- added the Roman vanilla unit "Rorarii" to the custom battle screen
- removed several unlocked AUX vanilla units from the custom battle screen as th
ere is a CA bug, which causes a CTD if the faction Rome is selected in the facti
on menu on the right side.
>>> AUM-ROM 1.1 - 6.10.13
- fixed the experience which the "Auxiliary Roman Slingers" get in the campaign
from several bonus-types
> Helvetii Oathsworn Spearbrothers
