This guide will open up a world of possibilities for anyone interested in learning modding. You have probably already seen some great mods in the AOM or AOE3 download section, these are all examples of what you can do with modding. If you haven’t downloaded any mods, I would suggest downloading some good detailed mods for inspiration. Some of the good modders to keep an eye out for are Argalius, Moosefood, Tommyboy, and King Jared. If you have AOM, I would highly suggest downloading the best mod I know of, eXtinction’s I-39. This mod-pack will show you the wonderful textures and models you can make with determination and creativity.

The modding possibilities are a little narrower in AOE3. Age of Empires 3 lacks the option of making a new model for your mod and it doesn’t have any 2 dimensional objects to mod. But you can still make great texture mods.

AOM & AOE3 are both lacking modders. If you take a look at Heavengames, you will see many more scenario designers than modders. But, with a little practice, your mods will receive many downloads and some of the scenario designers will probably request a mod from you. Modding gives you a moment to shine.

Very nice, Pepsi! Not nessicarily a guide that will answer every questions, but it gets you on the right track. If you use this with other guides, you can really get a great head start to modding! Kudos to you Pepsi!

This is fairly detailed. It is a really good guide if you want to start modding. My suggestion to downloaders is to use this guide and then use 'An Introduction to Modding'. This guide will get you started and get you well off on your journey to modding and the second one will help you complete the mods and make them really shine. Very nice mod guide Pepsiedude_123/Cherub Alex.

Thank you for the kind review. I think I did mention an 'Introduction to Modding' somewhere in the document though.

Yes, the guide is only forms of texturing. But that was described in the main post so you shouldn't have been expecting more. The guide is more of an intro to modding and when it's done, there are links to other guides to go to after you have gained the basic knowledge from my guide.

Other people would see your texture mods if you uploaded them to AoMH and the other people downloaded and installed those mods. Look in the Modpacks section for examples.
