Making this version has taken six months of my time so don’t worry about anything, This DLC cause no problem for the main game or other mods or DLC(s); All Civilopedia entries have been written based on trusted sources and I wrote them after much study.

Also, Dear Armenian people can use this DLC, because Median & Kurdish Civilization also encompasses them; hoping to make these two beautiful Civilizations: Kurdistan & Armenia (That have a great deal of racial and cultural affinity together) in the Civilization next games.

Attention 1: Don’t worry, Babylon Civ & Akkad City Doesn’t Removed Completely! These two civs are part of Median Empire in these DLC.
If you want them in the game anyway, there are several mods for these civs out there.
Attention 2: Don’t need to delete the Speech file, it automatically doesn’t play.
Attention 3: This DLC only supports the English Language, unfortunately; if someone can translate the Civilopedia text into other languages, I will put it gladly in the DLC.
