i have not played the mod yet, i'm holding out till a more finished version is out (its just how i am). but i can say that it looks promising and i CAN NOT WAIT!
and im wondering how you got your own models in the engine? as far as i can tell i have to buy a license, but i'd really like to be able to put my own units in, like AoM :/
I got the beta version and was impressed. I'm wondering, though... what are all of those new items in the scenario editor such as fireworks and lightning storms for?
Why don't you make a half sucessful mod?
Age of Empires 3 sucks. Low unit count, unrealistic historical units and horrible campaign. Empire Total War is fucking going to own this series by a milestone when it is released. As for the mod, it's somewhat boring. As if we didn't see how many other mods into the Napoleonic Era already? Try something new instead of copying others.
Copying other "Napoleonic" mods? Namely which ones? The development of this mod began when Age of Empires III was released in 2005.
I think the only "Napoleonic" mod existing at that time was the one for Rome: Total War by Lordz.
Anyway you can't blame the mod for a game that it mods, nor can't you blame the mod for being boring without having played it. It doesn't just add things from the Napoleonic time, it adds lots of European stuff from the time between 1400 and 1860 AD.
lmao Alexastor ftw!
This is some awesome stuff, great little demo!
I dont understand why so many people dont have TAD, it's a good game, it's easier to mod, and all the new features that come with it are awesome.
For Asian Dynasties? Damn.
For what is it?
TWC or TAD or the normal AOEIII
This is for The Asian Dynasties.
