BETTER MAPS 0.45
> What is Better Maps?
> - Better Maps is a mod that "update" all the maps in the game to make
> them interesting both visually and tactically.
>
> The "update" in the maps is only a visual update without gameplay
> effects?
> - Nop. Now in the cities there are "garrisonable" buildings, the houses
> can block the attacks of rifles, etc. Now you can make better tactics and
> use the buildings for obtain advantage in battle.

> This make the battles more hard?
> - Maybe. You will have more strategical options.
>
> This change the maps of campaing?
> - Yes. This change the maps (specially castles) of campaing and skirmish

> Frecuently Asked Questions (FAQ):

>
> Q: In level 1 castles of ROTS (AKA towns) the AI don't use the defenses.
> A: If there aren't walls, AI thinks "It's a normal land battle!!
> Yayyyy!!". I can't fix that.
>
> Q: In level 1 castles of ROTS (AKA towns) there are no capture point!!!
> Why???
> A: AI thinks "It's a normal land battle!! Yayyyy!!". With capture point,
> AI don't work as well as in a normal land battle. And how will they win
> capturing a building with almost none defenses??? It doesn't have any
> sense.
>
