Since nobody is playing Return of Rome in multiplayer, I made this mod for me to host in an AOE 2 lobby. It’s a lot different compared to AOE1, but still gives an AOE1 feel.
This is a more toned down version of the AOE2 ROR Crossover Mod. (accidentally was updated with this one, and thus deleted) This one is faster to download. This crossover mod brings AOE1 units and buildings into AOE 2. This is a AOE 2 file, not a ROR file. Farmers slowly generate gold, and villagers work faster. Foragers generate wood. Trees, gold mines, stone mines, fish, and berry bushes last forever. Farms have much more food.
