Empires at War

Core Module

Sparse Strategic Resources:
Iron, Horses, Coal and the other strategic Resources are a lot less abundant, greatly increasing the Importance to use them wisely (instead of just building a Factory in every city, etc.) At the same time Iron and Horses have new uses to make them useful throughout history. Horses for example are needed to construct Zoos

Buffed Natural Wonders:
More Natural Wonders can be found on the map and some of the weaker ones are buffed, giving them more impact in the early game. Great Leaders will adapt their strategies to put these Unique Map Locations to best use.

Pre Industrial Warfare:
Cities are a lot easier to take which makes pre Industrial warfare a lot more viable (especially for the AI who is quite bad at taking cities). Its not enough anymore to just build one archer and watch the AI derp around. Also Techcosts in the middle ages are increased to create more time for medieval warfare.

Diplomacy:
Removed WarmongerHate mechanic.
Many AI personalities are more aggressive now

Large Empires
in unmodded BNW a tall empire tradition opener is far more powerful than other choices. this is fixed. Cities cause less Unhappiness and luxuries give a bit more. Overall this makes wide empires more viable.
