The Enlightenment Age Mod



This is a project that I will be starting to work on and it will be a Total Conversion of the Graphics and some of the Data of Aok:TC. All the units will be converted to Musketteers, Flag Carriers, Officers, Cavalary Gunners, and so forth. Also the buildings will be converted into the 1700 style and the castles will be changed into cannon forts.
This Mod will be set through the years of 1600 to 1800 which will practically be the Gunpowder and Musket Age.
It will be mostly a Graphic mod of course but with some help I could be able to make it Both if Anyone would help. Im not that good in using genied at all so I would need some help.

I have already prepared some of the plans for the Mod like the Civs which will be....

Great Britain - Britons
The Spanish
The Russians - Huns
The Dutch - Vikings
The French - Byzantines
The Americans - Celts
The Inca - Mayans
The Germans - Teutons
The Ottoman - Turks
The Chinese
The Japanese
The Italians - Mongols
The Persians
The Malemuke Empire - Saracens

And if anyone has any Ideas of more Civs reply here...

So this mod is mostly set at the Time of Age of Empires 3 like the Exploration Age and when countries were setting Colonies on discovered Lands. I will post updates on the progress of the mod in time.

Of course I am also looking for help with this Mod since I cant mod Data much. Also im looking for Graphics for the Mod and Bmps So if anyone has Suggestions or wants to join my team in making this Mod Reply here...

These are some of the Units that will be in the mod:

This sounds like a great idea. Really ambitious. If I find any time between my AoKB mod, I'll certainly be willing to pitch in and help get things rolling on this subject.

In any case, good luck!

Sounds really good. But can't you turn the Turks into the Ottomans? I think that'll be more historical accurate.

Im glad you guys like the plans. Though the problem is that I dont have many Bmps like for the units, for the units im planning to take the Graphics from the American Conquest Game because it is pretty similar to the time of the mod. But if anyone has any suggestions from where to find a source of the Unit graphics or other ones please respond...

Mod Progress-

I have already converted a quarter of the buildings in Aok mostly the West European Buildings. The Wonders are all replaced with improved quality ones. Also the same with the Barracks. I will post some screenshots very soon.


Eventhough I am completing the buildings fast, im having trouble finding Unit Bmp frames. Does anyone have any tips?

qaz123tfg,

I dnt really mean Cossacks units. The problem is solved anyway since im going to use mostly American Conquest units since they have the same angle of vision as Aok. I also might Extract some of the graphics from RON since their Units are so detailed. Anyway I think American Conquest has even better units than Cossacks cause its more detailed. So ill keep working on the mod and Ill post a screenshot as soon as I have the time. Sayonara!

E Prime,

I could aid thy in thine quest to make one of the worlds biggest MOD's.
I have complete Cossacks unit framsets, that could provide us with all kinds of Militairy Units, Buildings, Boats, weapons, Trees etc., Technology Icons, and idea's, 2 new types of resources.
I was allready planning to make a MOD, but when i enterred this page, hhmmm. Interresting.

I obtained a tool to extract all Cossacks graphics, but I also have several rare mods of the game, that provide me with even more interresting graphics.
But this tool is know, and does not work in many peoples eyes, but I adapted it's palette so, it works, hehehe

Also, my ideas were difrent about states then yours:
Conquerors:__________Cossacks:
Aztecs_______________Algeria
Mayans_______________Turkey

Spanish______________Spain
Britons______________England
Franks_______________France
Celts________________Denmark

Vikings______________Venice
Goths________________Portugal
Teutons______________Switzerland
Huns_________________Sweden

Persians_____________Saxony
Saracens_____________Prussia
Byzantines___________Bavaria
Turks________________Austria

Chinese______________Ukraine
Japanese_____________Hungary
Koreans______________Russia
Mongols______________Poland

The English - Britons
If you are making this into an 18th century era mod, why are use still using the term "English" for a civ. choice?

The Act of Union was in 1707, and thus, Great Britian would be a name better suited to the mod.

As for data editing, I can do some of the that. For example, for gunpowder units, I suggest changing the projectile id to the projectile of the hand cannoner or of the jannisary.

If you give me a list of what units (for what civs) need that change, I could do it.

Qaz123tfg,

WOW, thanx alot for the offer. Of course, i was thinking the same with changing the projectile Id with the hand cannoers and the jannisary. Ill have the list ready when I have some time.

Ancient Warrior,

I want you to join my team in making this mod, I will need cossacks units anyway since AC doesnt forfill all my needs and your civ planning makes more sense than mine. So, do you accept my offer in making this mod?

Great Britain is another kind of name for the English Empire
No:
The English Empire ceased to exist in 1707.
Reason:
The Act of Union was in 1707

Scud,

Great Britain was the Empire's Name when the Colonial powers were established. Though I was Saying that you were rite, Because to the American Colonies Great Britain were "the English" or "Redcoats". But you were Right since the Empire ceased in 1707 Great Britain was formed and they were a Kingdom.

The Kingdom of England did end in 1707, but it was never an really an empire. In the 17th century many islands of the caribbean were claimed for England, but it wasn't until the 18th that the full extend and might of the British Empire that people tend to associate with the name "British Empire" was formed.

Anyway, glad you changed the name in the modpack.
