Description
========================================

Since I last released, I've rebuilt this mod from the ground up. It's still basically the same, but with more features and more bug-testing. I aim to improve user experience by greatly enhancing the ethnic variety of units in A New Dawn.

The following unit art styles are either new or improved:

Africa
Arab
Asian
Assyrian
Carthage
Celtic
China
Dutch
Egypt
England
France
Germany
Greece
Holy Roman Empire
Japan
Mali
Maya
Ottoman
Persia
Portugal
Roman
Russia
Spain
USA
Viking
zulu

In addition, I've totally revamped the Barbarians. They now have their own unit art style, which in the early and medieval eras is inspired by Warhammer Chaos before giving way to pirates in the renaissance era.

The unit art styles are the bulk of the mod, but I've also added 3 new "mini eras". These are really just to bridge a graphical gap between the existing eras, so the stat improvements are quite small. But you have Colonial units that fit between Medieval and Renaissance, Napoleonic units that fit between Renassiance and Industrial, and WWI units that fit between early and late Industrial periods. Again, these new units feature ethnic alternatives.

Finally, I've added some bug fixes for A New Dawn itself that were irking me. For example, the Mountaineer and Mountain Leader promotions now have art. The Colonist and Pioneer units have new art, as opposed to just re-using the original settler art. The Special Infantry unit had quite bad art unit, so I've upgraded that too. The Knight and Chivalry units were sharing the same art, so the Knight now has its own graphics. Finally, a few different buildings were using the same Jail button, so I created brand new buttons for them.
