Anyone know the best way to edit the map loading logos and backgrounds? Any photoshop files, or some advice would be great.

Hey what do you exactly mean ?
You want to edit or add your own ones ?
Personally I use Photoshop because they are .tga files, so you need a special software to deal with it.

Yes, best way to do it. Some examples would be great.

If anyone is interested in playing, the Greeks are in now. Romans will soon be fully implemented. Akkadians will be removed though.

Units have very, very low stats. Therefore you can't play against the AI because all his units have triple HP and attack of your units. Same for treasure guardians, livestock, natives from treasures and posts.

Also new home cities have deck options of old Spanish, Ottomans and others.

Well, it's not finished yet, so issues like this are to be expected.

Here is the download link for anyone who wants to try it:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ks0hsaq9vohb ... kV2ba?dl=0
*Warning*: This is uncompressed, and although I try very hard to always sync when the game is runnable, it's possible it may not work, and it is not completed. Some buildings have too many polygons and will slow down the game (issue is being fixed)


The game includes many remade Age of Empires 1 3d models, uses original sounds from AoE:RoR and AoM, but also will include new features such as homecities and unique units, and custom maps (Big shoutout to Durokan). Right now I am working on finishing the Assyrian building set, and lowering the polygon count of buildings in the Babylonian building set.

Remade models.

New homecities

Decks for each civilization

Units as they appear in game

There's more on my moddb page at http://www.moddb.com/mods/age-of-empires-hd-edition

The download there(v0.4) includes three civilizations available for play: The Sumerians, Babylonians, and Persian, but is a much earlier state of the mod.


You are getting competition.

In fact he cancelled the project. Read here. What a shame, it looked very promising ..

Indeed, I read about it the other day. Devastating news, though it looks like he's been demotivated for quite a while.

Tough life being a mod-maker. At least he said he had fun doing it so not all is lost.

Fooking Microsoft though, screwing the little guys!

well thats too bad, Cause unless microsoft updates it on the aoe 3 engine I think this would have been better. but.... getting players onine would be very tough. its hard enough to get a good ffa going anymore. atleast at the times ive been playing. Good work though.


And at least we now have something to look forward to with microsoft. yay

I would hope that Yohomes continues the project. It looked really good. Like, one of the up and coming and legitimate mods out there.
