"The Age of Philip II - The Time of Thunders Extend" for ToT

"The Age of Philip II - The Time of Thunders Extend" for ToT v2.03

The Age of Philip II - The Time of Thunders Extend is a project is to extend the unit list, add new arts and make various improvements to Jesús Balsinde's classic scenario The Age of Philip II - The Time of Thunders.

The Time of Thunders is a scenario focus on the very end of 16th century, an era that very few scenario would explore. Luckily, Fairline make a lot of beautiful unit graphics of this era, and The Time of Thunders scenario gives me a good chance to make full use of them. Technology and unit advance are not important element in the original scenario, I decide to follow this design. So unlike in the Carolus Invictissimus Extend scenario, in this scenario I don't add any new advanced units, but add country variants of units.

Here is a changlog of what has been change compare to gapetit's version released at Oct 14. 2023:
