The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived.

Clash of the Ages is a revolutionary modification for the Half-Life 2 platform introducing a brand new approach to real-time strategies. The game centers in on five different ages, each respectively distinct from one another, based loosely on the history of the world dating as far back as the Medieval Age up to the Modern Age. Embarking on a journey through the eyes of one of the three different factions, among them the Grecko-Romans, the East Asians, and the Euro-Americans, the player faces challenges such as gathering resources, accomplishing missions, and conquering the enemy in order to evolve to the next age, bringing technology and considerable advancements, helping each faction into becoming victorious.

But Clash of the Ages is not about managing resources or sending dozens of troops fight enemies across usual RTS maps, it puts the player in the skin of the soldiers on the field, the engineers building the constructions, and the archers attacking their adversaries. This new concept makes game play far more interesting where tactics and military planning become important facets of the game, and where teamwork becomes an even more valued aspect of triumph.

Clash of the Ages offers a wide spectrum of new ideas, and a team with loads of talent. What defines CotA from any other modifications, is its unique perspective of bringing history to life, and its overall dedication at maintaining both quality and enjoyment to this exhilarating new concept.

We love dancing!

Status Update

News

Hello everyone! Figured everyone had not heard something "official" from the modification for awhile, so I decided to update everyone!

In the modeling department, lead modeler Maxx has been hard at work constructing a character model of the Persian Immortal and other miscellaneous models. Andy, one of the newest members of the team, is hard at work constructing a character model of a Samurai.

The mapping department is now under the instruction of Reeke, who will be a great asset and inspiration for the entire department. Reeke is currently working on a design for a map entitled “cota_lake,” which involves game play in wilderness setting. Also, countless prop models have been made for use by the mapping department.

The most exciting news, however, comes from the public relations depart which is going through a change of leadership. Penny Packer will be taking over as head of public relations for me and I expect him to do an magnificent job. Don’t worry; I am not leaving, just rather focusing efforts on other duties within the modification.

Finally, I would HIGHLY encourage anyone who has skills necessary to help the Clash of the Ages team with the development of the modification, do not be hesitant to contact myself about being part of the development team. We can really use you!

Maybe source engine really didnt work with team RTS ideas.

Seeing that Summary nowdays, its kind of sad that we never saw this mod, not even any test versions. Different kind of idea, maybe too much?

TAOM - We are making considerable progress. Nothing near as good as CotA (mainly because we need a modeller!)

As much as a wish any mod success, do you really think a mod like that is possible on the 'hard'-coded RTW engine?

It's a generic thing so people other than IceMouse or Scott can update the moddb page, since they're too busy to do it half the time.
