I. Introduction
Since longer time the Modding Project The Ancient Age is already in development. Its objective is to implement 5 antique cultures with the AoE3 Engine and Structure. These are: Carthaginians, Celts, Hellenes, Persians and Romans
II.Team
The Team consists on the one hand of beginners and on the other hand of people with experience in modding. The underlying idea of the team set is to teach beginners one or more aspects of modding with the final aim to integrate them effectively into the project.
The project itself is english. The team works in a closed member area on ne.elpea.net, the Official Napoleonic Era Homepage. Our first release will be an Alpha-Version that contains playable Romans and Hellenes.
III. Features
5 completely new cultures with new units, among others Tactical Units like Spies, Assassins or Officers, new Economic Units like Scholars, Slaves, female and male citizens. Longer ages show the true advantages and disadvantages of cultures and demand from players more strategic and flexible thinking.
We are willed to create a more ambitious 1st and 5th Age. The 'Campaign' feature (similar to 'Revolution') makes it possible to change the usual managment of a town to a more intensive organization of a professional army. A new, more realistic counter-system, new random maps, User Interface und Homecity Design are other features that we'll try to realize as well.

Heyaho, we decided on giving people the chance to participate in the development of several aspects of the game like Homecity cards, technologies or other material which will be needed. We just began to create material for you which is relevant or you simply need to know in the process of research. The first task is a research on Roman HC cards with a focus on military shipments. The basic economy cards are already done, so you might just add something which convices you to be unique to Romans. ;)
Interested? Then you can simply check the thread in our public forum on ne.elpea.net, you're welcome!
Others, who might not be attracted by a little bit of work should also take a look. The public material consists just to a certain part of known stuff, I guess the military Roman techtree might interesting for everyone! ^^
Greets, check us!

Are you within a month or two of finishing the alpha version?
Yes, I'm pretty optimistic =)
Awesome!
i hope that it sone wil be fineshed i have waited 1 year
You have my charity. I'm waiting too. You guys need to know, it's almost an one-person project. I do the realization in great parts cause it's very difficult to find good people in a time where AoE3 is already seen as an 'old game'. Thus you can imagine that self-motivation is a really unstable thing, but I promised to release something and we will!
Just voted. ;-)
are there gonna be comitatenses in the mod, as an upgrade to the earlier legionaries? or are the limitanei the upgrade?
The Comitatenses will be the last upgrade of the Legionarius. The Limitanei are upgrade of the Voluntarii, which are available since age 1 and serve as light block troops.
Do you include multiplayer with the expansion mods like treaty?
Well, at least we won't change it. So it'll be there, but treaty is one of the last things that we worry about ;P
