I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Do I have the files in the wrong folder or something?

WWOOOOWzers! this is incredible! My wish granted. i am elated i can not tell you how excited I am to see you work on this! I hope you gain momentum and this becomes a popular game to play online as it would be the direction I wanted them to go for aoe 4. ! i mean really. excellent work. I have seen a game empires apart that is starting from scratch to emulate aoe1 but this is the right solution. I want to play!

Is multiplayer supported? Can I install without messing up the rest of my installation?

Multiplayer is supported, it's actually the only thing supported atm as we haven't done any AI editing.

Howlingwolfpaw, what problems are you having installing it?

im not sure where i am going wrong. I am on win XP, i do not see an option to open as an administrator. I do through all the steps to open anyway, but when i create the mod link short cut thing or whatever, and i go to press play it gives me an error. the creation of that mod link does not seem to be a permanent thing

Will the game be playable in the AOE3 Client or will it run standalone? This looks amazing though, I want to make some videos about it. I'll give it a download next week or so :)

I'm not sure what you mean by playable in the client. It requires the base game, and to switch between the normal game and the mod you have to exit and restart.

It's good to know you'd want to play the mod. I've always liked watching your videos.

Next week may be a better time to download it anyway :). I am trying to balance some units now.

Alright, I'll do that :)

What I means was that because your screenshots are in the AOE3 client, is the game played like that? Or is it played like normal AOE1 is?

It's basically an AoE3 mod, so, yes, the game is played in the AoE3 client on the AoE3 game engine. This means you get the AoE1 feel, but with all the cool new engine features that were not present in original AoE1, such as attack move, shift-click actions, improved graphics, homecities, etc.

In terms of twitch streaming, on the side where the players who are are listed. Is this automatically for anyone who is streaming the game, or must I become an approved streamer or something first? I'd like to start streaming some gameplay.

Make normal stats for units in your mod, not lowered. It ruins the gameplay.

We have one game on our youtube channel. The person I was playing with may start recording them for youtube, and we'll keep streaming.

very nice match! looks soo good do far. wasn't expecting white catapults, wanted to see hoplites and all other units in action! maybe some balance issues as their siege is incredible.

Hey howlingwolfpaw. The video you saw is a bit older but the graphics are still there pretty much. The catapults are only white because the textures aren't made yet. The same thing for the farns. I just haven't replaced then yet.

I've noted that catapults are very strong and they may need to be somewhat weaker. We use more units now that we've made balance changes
