The Ancient Age is a Total Conversion Mod for Age Of Empires III TAD about the Ancient Times, which will be made by Tilanus Commodor, Ca Putt & others. Almost everyone of us started just with a minor basic knowledge. The Ancient Age is not an Age Of Mythology or Age Of Empires I Remake. Nevertheless the Age Of Empires Series is among other RTS-Games a true inspiration for us. It is our aim to include five new civilisations: The Carthaginians, Celts, Hellenes, Persians and Romans. Besides we are willed to develop an unique gameplay, which will be a good contrast to other mods and the original game. This includes for example a new building & unit system. Since the modification plays in a completely different age you can expect a lot of new material. More details will be revealed when the time is better, but for now we better go back to work - in silence.

Looks incredible! As an amateur Aoe3 modder, I am impresssed at how well you used the limited resources available to make such good looking ancient units. I would love to see some buildings, though!
Hey, thank you! :) Yes, it's a challenge to find suitable models and anims, but I guess that's what I like. Check the newest screenshots, there's a building set. =)
All shots look amazing, I envy you for your texturer, but I'm not a huge fan of the age names (specifically V, it just sounds kinda weird).
These are terms used in history science, we didnt make them up. ;)
You envy me for my texturer? You didnt know it's me who textures?! :D
I prolly would have gone:
Dark Age
Archaic Age
Classical Age
Imperial Age
Crisis Age
But awesome mod nonetheless. Did you manage to find out how to import new models and animations?
