Back to The Old World is an expansion pack idea for AoE3. It would add certain European civs that weren't previously in the game. It also would add some new units to the older factions.
Before I start I need to show you three new common units that are necessary for some of the civilizations I will post. Some of these will appear in my other mod ideas.
