Patch 2.1.0 is here, adding a major enhancement to the game's moddability. You can now create your own custom factions and unit types through the editor. And what's more, you can now export your modifications as a mod that can be loaded through the mods screen.
The Frankish Faction Flair Pack has also been updated with a new music piece for the Franks, "The Death of Count Cadaloc". The Brisings' pack has also been enhanced, with their emblem now showing up on their warriors' shields in their unit graphics.

- 2.1.0 Changelog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Civilizations
- All cursors are now preloaded, instead of only that of the player's civilization, to eliminate the cursor loading time mid-game when changing civilization.
* DLCs
- Added "The Death of Count Cadaloc" music theme to the Frankish Faction Flair Pack (by Marcelo Fernandez) (http://www.marcelofernandezmusic.com), for when playing Frankish factions (or playing Teuton factions who lack music of their own).
- With the Brising Faction Flair Pack, dwarven Axefighters and Steelclads now have a different shield for their unit graphics if the player is using the Brising Clan or a related faction, or if a Brising Round Shield is equipped (graphics by Jinn).
- Added graphics for when a Brising Round Shield is laying on the floor (by Jinn).
