Purple Design Studios company

About Purple Design Studios is an independent design institution specializing in the modification of real-time strategy games. Since June of 2006, our team of avid designers has strived to raise the standards of modification and made strides on various levels of achievement. We constantly make an effort to challenge ourselves by venturing into untouched corners of game alteration, specifically catering to the Age of Mythology community. Our projects are hailed for their excellence and attention to detail.

Under recently elected new management, the team had decided to branch into serving the scenario design community as well, bringing you only the best quality in all aspects of design.

Portfolio Our array of high-quality modifications were created for the satisfaction of the community in the hopes that downloaders would embrace the content and choose to continue to download our projects. Below is an overview of some of our work in the past.

The Roman Legionarius - The Roman Legionarius is a single-unit modification that adds a brand new unit to Age of Mythology. The unit features historically accurate, player color-compatible textures, high quality models and animations and a unique corinthian-style helmet. Works with the original game and The Titans expansion.

House - House is a simple mod that allows for the construction of villagers from houses, allowing for expanded gameplay opportunities. Featuring garrison flags, a town bell and the ability to create two additional houses for additional population, this mod is sure to complete any gamer's collection.

The Roman Legion Expansion - The Roman Legion is a one of a kind modification in progress that features a new civilization, The Romans. Not only will the expansion feature a full set of brand new units, buildings, god powers and a new user interface, but this complete civilization features the prop system, allowing for the easy creation of fan mods using our content.

Cannibals - The Cannibals mod is a unique addition to the game that allows the hunting and gathering from human natives. This twisted mod is currently under beta testing, but will feature a set of random map scripts that feature the new food source and occasionally, these natives will hunt you!

In our expansion into the relm of scenario design, we've begun several scenario projects as well, listed below.

ROME 78 B.C. - It's the year 78 B.C and Sulla, one of the most dangerous and powerful men Rome has ever seen, has died in his country manor. For some, Sulla's reign brought wealth and prosperity to their lives, the many more it brought death, humiliation and exile. One such exile, by the name of Gaius Julius Caesar, had been living in a lifestyle not equal to his birth but now, with Sulla dead and his faction divided, Caesar can return to home and build his political career. The time has come for a new Rome to emerge, and Caesar is determined to be the one who makes it happen.

The Slayer - It is late autumn and snow is already fallen in this far northern region. He left on his quest late in the evening. He spent over two days tracking it down before things got interesting.. Well he picks up on a foul scent.. realizing his foot was in it.. yes poop. Ogre dung. from that he started to curse in a low murmur until he heard something rustling in the darkness.. even his keen elven, nightseeing eyes couldn't see what it was.

War on Sicily - name pending - Rome, 360 BC. A message has recently been received by a soldier living on the island Sicily, claiming that the city Syracuse has been invaded by the Greeks. The cause is still unknown, but the city is known to be surrounded. It is estimated that you will arrive in 3 weeks, after 589 km of sea travel. You will land on the north side of the island to avoid suspicion, assuming of course that they haven't put the entire island in flames by then. Your mission will be to gather the troops around the island and form an army large enough to ambush and take back the city, as it will probably be in enemy hands by your arrival time.
