Hopefully your mod doesn’t conflict with any future patches.

AoM works differently. Late game units are much tankier and well-rounded compared to Age 2. So defeating the AI can be tedious, because you take massive losses with every wave, even if you have lots of Fortresses and counter units.
But in Age 2, if you have multiplayer experience, most missions are a breeze on hard difficulty. A higher difficulty option (Extreme) would be nice.
Ah well then it’s easy to just uninstall
I agree with you on how they develop their Late games ,but they did it wrong, multiplayer games its about how fast your fingers and choose the right strategy and units against others players, campaigns and solo games its about the story and mystery with difficulty, don’t need bigger waves and Fortresses.
I play this game before HD version come out many years,I won almost every senario in the first try and I don’t have a lot multiplayer experience, most of players who have extreme multiplayer experienc need many try to win the senario.

Not really, maybe they need a bit of practice to understand what to priorize. The AI can start in Imperial Age with Castles and expensive units, so you can’t archer rush, etc.
But in many scenarios, you can win by spamming a single unit (like FU Paladins or Hussars). It would be nice if using siege or mixing units was necessary to win. The AI armies should be bigger imo, and focus less on attacking castles.
If you want to make a safety bet, you can have the mod check the game version. As soon as an update is released the bet is that the problem would be solved. If it is the case the mod should not generate conflicts since it would do nothing after an update. If the problem is not solved after the next update, that would require to update the mod once again.
I am under the impression any game update is not going to come fast. They seemed to have messed up with a lot of things. I couldn’t blame them from taking the time to double check the correctives. As this problem is just painful (also because they will never commit on whether or not they will solve it before doing so, leaving us in the dark on the consequences of playing/replaying campains) it does not require a hotfix that would be implemented if the game was unplayable. I would be happy if they fixed it within weeks and not months…

why would the mod need to be updated after next update if the bug is unchanged? mods don’t just stop working by default just because a new update is released
The idea is the following:
- The mod can be modified to automatically disable itself if it detects a newer game version.
- This acts as a safety net, assuming the next update might fix the issue, making the mod unnecessary.
- In that case, the mod does nothing and won’t cause unintended side effects with future patches.
If the issue is not fixed in the next update, yes—you’d need to patch the mod again to re-enable it for the new version.
Of course, you could also just yolo it and keep the mod active as-is, relying on users to uninstall it themselves once the issue is confirmed resolved.
The auto-disable approach just avoids accidental mod conflicts with an updated game where the problem might already be fixed.

Is it a bug or is the game now too easy on hard? I’m rushing through it. And some scenarios that would take me before like 4 hours I am taking now 1-2 hours
This seems super convoluted and high effort for no benefit that I can see…
-
it assumes that next update will fix the bug, which is not necessarily the case
-
you do know I could just delete the mod with one click, auto-unsubscribing everyone from it?
Btw is what you’re suggesting even possible? Mods have hard requirements on only accepting game asset files (you’re unable to publish otherwise). I’m pretty sure any type of program or script is out of the question. Where am I supposed to put this if-statement and how is it going to be executed?

I also have all the gold medals replaced by silver medals in AEO II DE. And the silver medals in bronze. Hopefully this bug will be fixed soon.

any news on this bug? same for me…
If you look at the Known Issues & Solutions page, you can see that it hasn’t changed since the patch:
Missing or incorrectly displayed Campaign medals after update 141935
We are aware of an issue where medals earned for completing Campaign missions are either showing up incorrectly or are missing all together. The issue has been identified and the team is working on a resolution. The goal is to make sure all medals earned before update 141935 will be preserved.
Status: TRACKING
This status means that they are still looking for a solution with theoretically no garanted success. Had they found the solution and would they be waiting for implementing it, the status should have been updated to Fixed Awaiting Update.
I am not a developer and and I have never looked at AoE modding but I code some apps and I can try to decipher what happened after the problematic update.
Hjoerleif and some other people looked for how the medals system works, understood what happened, why it happened (new difficulty level incoming with the next DLC) and he issued a mod to temporarily fix the problem. In short, I would say that getting back the medals earned before the update without interfering with what would have been earned after the update is technically easy for the devs.
It hasn’t been solved in more that two weeks, when it should take only a few hours. It either means that there is an additional problem we are not aware of, or they are just taking their time without bothering giving information and updating the bug status.
My guess is that, since there is a new difficulty level to introduce in 10 days from now, they could choose not to change anything by then. It does not prevent them from giving some information but people are less and less accepting to take responsability, even if it comes with the function.
On a side note, I find this lack of communication not good at all for trust. First, based on what we know on the problem it feels like amateurs forgot a basic checklist. Second, they are trying to sell us three new campaigns and we currently do not know how reliable the solo progress saving is in this game.

I have deleted the mod and all subscribers to it will have it automatically removed the next time they start their game.

It seems to have been fixed as of today. :))
It’s been “fixed” 2 days ago…and by “fixed” I mean “broken again”, because all the medals received since the bug appeared, had been elevated 1 tier up, meaning people have been awarded gold medals while only receiving silver.
For me everything is gold again - like it should, but Caucasus and Victors and Vanquished has no medals at all. It shoud be gold, too.
Was there a bug before which did this?
I had the same issue with the same campaigns after reinstalling the game a few months ago. Is there any chance you recently reinstalled it between the last time you saw your medals and now?
