AGE OF THE WORLD mod for Definitive Edition - SPOTLIGHT

Hi!
Me and my girlfriend are working on a project and we want to use this mod. Civs we want to create include the Vatican City, Dominican Republic and Trinidad. Do we have permission to use this mod?
Thanks!

Hello, I’m Kaeto, the creator of the mod. Use how, if I may ask?

Me and my girlfriend can use the mod to create our own civilizations. We do not have to make any money off of it and we could probably use it for the purpose of creating our own civs. For example we want to use your mod as a template, but we would be creating new civilizations like I said before such as Vatican City, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Trinidad and more. We will only have the mod between me and her and only do it for personal use rather than commercial use and we don’t plan to share it on the modding hub. We will not sell the mod.

Well, I wasn’t worried about you selling the mod, because the mighty hand of Microsoft would come for you faster than I could even breathe another breath. But if you’re keeping your own mod between you and your girlfriend and not publishing it, you don’t even need to ask, to me it’s no different than you just playing it. However I would not be okay with you using the contents of my mod, such as models and other custom assets, assigning it to different civs (so basically just renaming stuff) and publishing it as your own. But again, if you are keeping it between you and your girlfriend, then please, be my guest and have fun!

I can’t select the mod-provided civilizations from the civilization list in skirmishes, but I can select them for the AI. I have not been able to solve this problem so far, I hope the author can give me some help, thank you.

Question: how much does this change existing civs? MP and campaign civs. How about units?

The only thing changed to vanilla civs, is that they can train a infinite wood source in the town center.

Hello! Really good mod here, but I am frustrated because I have to make a choice between Age of the World and Age of Realism. The mods combine well, except for the walls, even when I make Age of Realism a higher priority. They simply can’t be upgraded, except via cards. The research button does not appear at all when I select a wall segment.

I really love the bigger walls from Age of Realism, and would like to use them with Age of the World. Can you take a look, so we can upgrade the walls in your mod?

Hayy, if you only play single player , I could check if I can combine the mods for you. But working towards compatibility with aotw is a rather hard thing. ^^

It would be amazing! I play multiplayer with a bunch of friend who have the exact same mods as I installed. But mostly solo

Excuse me, is the settler of khmer can’t gather blueberry?

Can you please unban me from the discord server so I can play this, I have a purchased version of Aoe3 DE, but appears you are same ones who made the Wars of Liberty and I am still banned since then, please I wish to appeal. I also have no idea how to install mods, in documents I have no aoe3de folder

Whats your Discord name?

To install mods, just go into " Mods and Tools " then " Mods " and there you can search for a mod that you want to download.

Still I wish to be in discord server so I can talk with you guys and give suggestions. (chicha_micha) is my user, thank you for forgiveness my bro.

unbanned. Stay safe from now on :slight_smile:

Direct Request – Brazil Civilization (18th and 19th Centuries) in AoE3DE : Brazil:

Hello everyone,

First of all, congratulations on the amazing work in the Age of the World mod! It’s impressive how much the community has grown thanks to the dedication of people like you, who keep Age of Empires III alive and full of new content.

I would like to make a sincere and respectful request: the inclusion of the Brazil civilization, focused on the 18th and 19th centuries — a historically rich period marked by conflicts, political transformations, and a unique military identity.

I’m not a modder, and I don’t know anything about the technical side. My contribution is with historical research, ideas, and real content gathering — all of which I’d be glad to share to help collaboratively.

Although the WoL mod already includes some Brazilian-related elements, I think it would be a great idea to ask for permission to reuse some of their data where appropriate.

Also, I don’t agree with the idea of using enslaved workers — that belongs to the period under Portuguese domination, before Brazil achieved independence. After that, the path toward the abolition of slavery began.

Here are some structured suggestions that could serve as a base:


:shield: Unique military units (18th and 19th centuries):

  • Voluntários da Pátria (light infantry)
  • Caçadores (regular infantry)
  • Line Infantry (heavy musketeer-type infantry)
  • Lanceiros Negros (light cavalry)
  • Dragões da Independência (Imperial heavy cavalry)

:classical_building: Home City cards based on real historical events:

  • “Abolition of Slavery”
  • “Paraguayan War Campaign”
  • “Reforms of Duke of Caxias”
  • “National Guard”

:hammer_and_pick: Brazilian economy adapted to gameplay:

  • Sugarcane plantations and cattle ranching (produce food; like how the Inca use llamas, Brazil could use cattle)
  • Gold and iron mining
  • Coffee (a commercial resource, possibly handled via the Coin Mint)

:performing_arts: Cultural and mechanical elements:

  • Alliances with Portuguese, American, and British powers
  • Age-up political system: Imperial Monarchy vs. Liberal Republic
  • Native allies: Tupi, already in the game

If this idea is of interest, I would be very happy to collaborate however I can — with historical sources, real troop names, card drafts, and gameplay suggestions based on documentation.

Thank you so much for keeping the flame alive! It would be an honor to see Brazil well represented in the world of AoE3DE.

With respect and enthusiasm,
From a fan of AoE3DE and Brazilian history :brazil::scroll:

Thank you matey, cheers!

What about the 16th and 17th century? If you focus only on 2 centuries, not only your suggestion is only going to be worth a revolution (which already exists in the game), but it’d be a shame to neglect the rich history of the previous centuries that are fundamentals to the formation of the brazilian culture.
Moreover, it would be an insult to the game’s timeline.

Brazil without the history of maroons, quilombolas, palmares, bandeirantes, etc, is not AoE3 brazil.

Okay, I don’t disagree with you. As long as they make a “Lei Áurea” to abolish slavery, turning slaves into citizens or free men, I agree. That’s taking the mod WoL into consideration. The golden law os the same as “Lei Áurea” happened in 1888, you can place the letter in era 3.

What I want is a civilization in the mod that brings a metropolis from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro was the capital at the time. Dom Pedro II was the regent at the time.

You know, 1888, totally a date halfway through the game’s period.
