| Version: |
The Conquerors 1.0c |
- Update : Apr. 4th, 2018 -
Updated Warsmithy's Byzantine Buildings to include the latest additions. I've also updated the Italian Building Workshop Collections to include the finished versions of the Italian Stone Walls / Gates, as well as an edited version of the Castle that matches the original AoF design better. Both of which are by Gwotyng.
- Update : Mar. 4th, 2018 -
Updated Warsmithy's Byzantine Buildings to include the latest additions, including the Imperial Age Town Center & University, as well as additional Castle Age buildings.
- Update : Jan. 20th, 2018 -
Updated Warsmithy's Byzantine Buildings to include the latest additions, mostly Castle Age Buildings. I have also made the set use the Castle / Feudal equivalents for the missing Imperial / Castle buildings when possible to minimize "clashing". The exception is the Towers & Fortified Walls, which still uses the default Middle Eastern graphics since it's much more important to differentiate the graphics for them.
I have also added a set of the Italian Building Collection for the Byzantines and the "Old" Indian Buildings, by Tzontlimixtli, for the Persians.
- Update : Sept. 26, 2017 -
With Wololokingdoms supporting Portuguese, I have updated the Italian Building Collection into two more separate mods, each for the Italians & Portuguese. Also made a version of TriRem's Aragonese Architecture for the Portuguese.

- Installation -
To make these architecture mods work in WololoKingdoms, just simply put the folders of whatever Architecture Mods you want in the game, such as "[SPA] Spanish Mediterranean Architecture [FE]" or "[VIE] Vietnamese East Asian Architecture [AoC]", into the "mod_override" folder, located in the "WololoKingdoms" folder, then Rebuild the WololoKingdoms mod through "WololoKingdoms.exe", also located in the WololoKingdoms folder. This should now replace the Architecture of the Civilizations they affect. ie. The above two example mods will replace the Spanish & Vietnamese architecture with those used by the Italians & the East Asian Civilizations (Chinese, Mongols), but not touch the other civilizations (in this example, the Britons and the Khmer will remain untouched). This mod works with both Voobly & through the Offline Installation.
- What is this pack and why does it exist? -
The Independent Architecture Collection (Vol. 1) is an assortment of 23 Architecture Mods from both AoK Heaven & Steam Workshop of both Original Architecture Mods and Architecture Swaps of the ingame Architecture Sets to various other Civilizations, converted to be compatable with WololoKingdoms, a Mod Project designed to reverse-engineer the Expansion Dataset, complete with the New Civilizations & Features, to the Original AoC version (With UserPatch 1.5). Since the mods in this pack is designed to be compatible with the Unique SLP ID's of WololoKingdoms, majority of these Architecture Mods are incompatable with the original Retail version of AoC, or any other version or mod of AoC for that matter.
Even though most, if not all, of the Architecture Mods featured in this pack are already uploaded to the AoK Blacksmith, I am creating this Modpack since the Independent Architecture feature of WololoKingdoms is very underused by it's current community and I feel that creating a modpack, outside of the Steam Workshop, that is easily accessible and ready to install would be a great way to promote this feature. I have ask and received permission from all authors featured in this pack, to distribute WololoKingdom compatible versions of their mods, but I will comply if there is any problems. I know there there are a number of other Architecture sets missing in this pack, but I will not re-distribute mods if I don't, can't get or haven't received permission from the original creator to do so.
Again, the Mods in this pack are edited to be compatible with WololoKingdoms and not with any other version of AoE2. All the Architecture Mods in this pack are already uploaded to either AoK Heaven or the Steam Workshop if you are looking for versions that work with the original version of AoC or other versions of AoE2.

Usefulness/Novelty: 5
This collection is a set of 23 additional architectures that can be added without disrupting any of the old sets, and you get to choose which by simply dropping them in a folder and running the installer again at any time. The usefulness of this cannot be understated, as prior to making this review I had intended to look at many of these mods, and never got around to it;now that they came in a single pack I found it quite convenient to add them to the game. Although you can get most of them on steam or the blacksmith, having them load effortlessly in the UP1.5 version is a game changer for accessibility.
Quality/Instructions: 5
The quality of the mods is quite high, being a handpicked collection of IA mods on steam and AoKH. A mongol set giving them a nomad tent appearance, Korean and Chinese sets that lend a good character to their civ, and the grey central european sets were well appreciated. My personal highlight is Warsmithy's Byzantine architecture, which is spectacular despite being unfinished. The Italian and Portuguese combo was quite nice as well. Of course the famous Magyar overhaul mod has been included as well. Hopefully in the future we see an ever increasing array of IA mods added as authors grant their approval. A set of screenshots is provided in the file for you to preview which of the mods you would like to use.
The instructions were fairly easy to follow. The user need only download WololoKingdoms from its github page, place the mods you would like to use in the mod_override folder, and finally run the WololoKingdoms exe. Note that this has no negative effect on your current installation of HD, which is completely separate.
In my opinion WololoKingdoms may well become the Authoritative Version of all AoC variants;its combination of new HD content with the superior Userpatch 1.5 experience gives it a winning formula. This modpack goes well to complement WK, and if it continues to grow in content in the future I could easily see it becoming an indispensable item. I would highly recommend installing WololoKingsdoms and after that downloading this mod. [Edited on 09/28/17 @ 09:44 AM]

I find it frustrating how I need to use wololokingdoms in order to get these architecture packs, as I enjoy watching recorded games and almost all of them use the gameplay mod "LN FFA rules mod," therefore I need to watch the recorded game with LN FFA rules mod as THE gameplay mod, otherwise the game will not play for me.
I would love to be able to watch these games with the architecture packs that are in this thread as they are quite beautiful.

I think it would be better if the slavs's have a different unit set.the armor and shield designs looks different.
There was an old Khmer build set here it might fit well for the malays.[Edited on 04/30/18 @ 06:26 AM]
