***Install Instructions***

Point the installer to your ".../Modules" folder name the I.R folder what ever you want , start the game either via I.R(UC) launcher or main MBW launcher

***Uninstall***
click on the "unins000" icon in Imperium Romanum Directory

***Addon Instructions***
Installing Realistic COlors ( probably more realistic closer to what british enviernment looked like ) Put Texture folder into IR/Textures folder overwriting originals
CommonRes folder goes inside main MBW directory overwriting vanilla files for taller grass (backup native common res folder before you do this).

Installing Polished Landscapes : Go into "Addons" folder after installing IR 1.9.3 you will see folder named "PolishedLandscapes Optional" open that folder and move all the files in it into main IR directory formall Brytenwalda directory "Mount&BladeWarband/MOdules/Brytenwalda" overwrite original files when it prompts you .

Starting Armies : Refer to the same "Addons" folder in it open a folder named "Starting Armies not Save game Compatible" you will see many other folders pick wich ever starting army setup you prefer and move all the files in that folder to "Mount&BladeWarband/MOdules/Imperium Romanum" overwriting originals when prompted . To revert to default starting Auxilia find "Default" folder and do the same .(YOU have to select an army before you start the game , default army is an Auxiliary Cohort)

Every optional army setup has a subfolder called "reduced troop numbers X2" which means yous tart with about 100 troops instead of 200 and Theow bandits have also been reduced 2fold . To Install take all the files from "reduced troop numbers X2" and put them into your main Imperium Romanum folder overwriting existing files . You have to start a new game for these to work . If you want to revert back to original default start go into "Default Auxilia" folder (or any other) and move files (parties,party_templates,troops) to the main Imperium Romanum folder again overwriting th eold files and starting a new game .

Pick addons very carefully it might be a good realistic idea to stick with what ever formation you pick for the whole game , especially due to the complicated troop tree that will confuse some (not me) .
