I present you my little "change the history" mod which takes place anywhere you like, with any civilization you like, with the little difference that Persia is historically more accurate, has some new skins and buttons, adds Zoroastrianism as religion (including missionary etc), and some re-balancing (note: nothing overpowered).
Short list of enhancements:
- new skins & buttons for Immortals + replaced animation
- Immortals slightly stronger (5 instead of 4) and more expensive, but they aren't up to par with Phalanx (+50% melee bonus)
- Immortals now require Archery as well as Hunting technologies
- new button for Mardian Archers (unique Persian archer, same stats as regular one don't worry), if anyone has a skin I'd add it immediately!
- Zoroastrianism added
- new skins for Zoroastrian buildings
- ...

As the name states I recommend playing Persia cause that's what I intended this mod for, but "anything goes" except for the pre-set scenario that's limited to Persia, which is actually just a Earth18CIV with some adjustments.
So, you just extract the mod, boot up BtS, load the mod, and play singleplayer as you'd always do. It doesn't impact any of your usual gameplay experience, but it adds to the mix with more uniqueness at least for one faction
Further notes in the readme.
Please report back if you like or dislike the mod, or suggestions or bugs or anything else.
Also, if you have or can create some more unique skins for Persian units to replace the widespread ones with, I'm happily accepting these and adding them to the mod (with credits if you tell me your name)!

Btw, this is my first mod ever for a Civ game, and I have the game since only 5 days now =) modding took me one day after I figured everything out.
