Total conversion portraying various trade republics of Italian (Venice, Ragusa, Sicily), Slavic (Novgorod) and West European (Flemish) background. In addition you can take up the Crown of the mighty Tzardoms of Serbia, Russia (Moscow) and Bulgaria. Some civilizations like Byzantines, Turks, Teutons and Timurids(Persians) are only altered through the concept of regional units (which however changes their strategy a lot). Last but not least, the mod also increases the amount of useful (and/or fun as eye-candy/for scenarios) civilians: Court Ladies, Pipers (bagpipe players) and Saxon Miners (economic mercenaries). The project is dedicated (and with great gratitude) to fr steve. His efforts for 'Age of Voivods' were invaluable and in terms of contributions he can be considered a co-author of this project. However, because he has not been involved in any specific decisions it can be expected that he will eventually finish 'Age of Voivods' the way he envisioned it.
Absolutely phenomenal. This mod has given so many factions to play with. Not only that, but they also have their own unique units. The architectures in this mod are beautiful. And I love the extra jingle that you've put in each faction. It really lifts AoE2 gameplay very well.
More history accurate and detailed mod, with 22 civilizations and more units & techs, brings new tactics in both military & economy gameplay. All added graphics are similar to original environment, which make game visual fits fine.
This crafty mod is in further developing, so i'm glad to see new updates & novelties! Definitely recommended for real AoK fans!
