Changelog:

2023. 12. 16.

Graphics files are removed from Data Mod pack. It is now necessary to install the graphics mod. Click to install

  • Added Sheep (50g) for Mongols. Available when Pasture are researched,
  • Palisade Wall & Palisade Gate HP increased by +100

Balance changes & replaces:

Huns:

  • Loses “homeless” (no need houses) bonus and -100 wood effect.
  • Loses Stone Walls & Stone Gates
  • Loses Faith
  • Gains Yurt
  • Gains (Elite) Steppe Lancer
  • Barbarian Raiders (500w, 750g) replaces Atheism: Tarkans slowly generate gold when attack buildings; enemy relics generate -50% resources

Gurjaras:

5

Some small changes in Data Mod pack:

Palisade Walls & Palisade Gates HP increased by +100
Fixed Monk voiceline in Alans when moving (Sometimes was used Aztecs voice)
Fixed hotkey in Huns stable (Steppe Lancer and Stable Tarkan hotkey was same)
Fixed Elite Sabir Tech Description for Scythians
Villagers no more drop off resources when garrisoned inside Yurts. (
Unfortunately, it didn’t work the way I imagined. Immediately after built yurt, the villager cut wood, started mining… and did not start build the next yurt.)
Creatable Mongol Sheep renamed to “Breeded Sheep” (cost: 50g) and contains 300 food. Train time increased to 90 sec. Also stealable animal like other herdables.

6

This is normal behavior as the game think its a eco building so will always prioritize cutting wood etc.

7

Unfortunately, I can only add 3 dropsite points in the Genie Editor for villagers. I want to add supply cart for nomad civs, but most of three slot is occupied for mule cart, dock… Maybe it’s possible with a complicated “hack”. (annex and/or stack unit as fake building… idk) It doesn’t work if I just add the object to the dropsites.json list. Also town center “pack” button tooltip is not correct. i dont know how to fix it.

If you can figure out how to convert voices from older aoe games/mods serbian voices are there.

Romanian military voices are in aoe3 official game so can extract those as well.

Looking forward to seeing albanians getting added.again military voices are in aoe3.

13

This mod will have civilian and military voices for romanians.As per the creator vlach monks can use ingame slavic monk voices which is historically accurate.

14

I know uts a bit silly but honestly for an early middle ages or even for a late abtumiquity game I dont see any good reason to include Alans and Scythians at the same time. Alans were descendabts of the Sarmatians who were a Scythian people

Beyond that:

Not sure how fast their lumberjack bonus is but with the right numbers thats a great eco bonus. The discount seems barely betger ghan the Bulgarian one so I would ssy either buff it or replace it

UU seems kinda weak.

Seems kinda weak outside of the UU who is fine and the imp UT

They basically depend on their early CA and not sure how balanceable are those. Armor on siege is way too situational and faster firibg hunters is useless

Both UUs suck, the imperial age UT is broken

Unsure about them. Basically they depebd on free bloodlines. The imperal age UT and imperial hussars are probably way too much

Seems extremely underpowered even if the UU and UTs are fine

Seems also quite weak, although the UU and imp UT are fine

15

I have found a solution for the Vlach civ voiceline. I simply used an online AI voice. Here is a example. I need feedbacks because the pronunciations and maybe the words are wrong. I used eleven labs Romanian Text to Speech & AI Voice Generator | ElevenLabs

For the Serbs, i haven’t found it yet, but for the time being, they’re stuck with the Bulgarian voiceline. The Scythians will disappear in the next update. They will be replaced by another steppe civ. In addition, i will add another civilization that will also jump out of the umbrella of the Slavs. It will be a bit European, a bit Asian civilisation. In addition, the bonuses and unique units for the new civilisations will again be slightly modified. I will try to add some more unique eco bonuses.

Not sure how fast their lumberjack bonus is but with the right numbers thats a great eco bonus

At the moment this bonus is weak, but in the next update it will be generated more often when researching each woodcutting technology.

Seems kinda weak outside of the UU who is fine and the imp UT

Infantry will generate a bit more resources in the near future after destroying some buildings. I will extend this ability to all Barracks units. currently only the militia line has it. In addition, their naval units will be a little stronger in near future.

Croats:

They are likely to be the most heavily redesigned. Both in bonus and unique technologies. I can tell a “secret”: they will get free fishing boats.

Serbs & Vlachs:

I try to give both civilisations some discounts.

16

Things iv noticed while playing.

Scythians crash the game when trying to play.
None of the uus have icons and new techs in tc also dont have icons.
Alans trade cart has a different decay than the unit.

17

i’ll try to fix them after newest update arrived. Thank you.
