Is it multiplayer compatible?
Right now, I think not. I believe they changed the criteria for MP-compatible modding, and now XML anim files are not compatible, but let me see if I can do something about it.
Hey great work! Need more like this. BTW, some hats do not match the models of the just float to a different location. Any chance for an update? how can i solve this issue?
As far as I know, it is not solvable. I attached a hat to every artillery guy, with the same technique (XML) used for another units with hats. In theory, they should work correctly, but they not.
I will try to improve it with another method, but I can’t guarantee anything. What do you know about another artillery crews that should be in the game?

By the way, i am interested in start modding myself. I am a graphic designer, any Goodwill to collaborate to create New stuff?
How can I help you, what would you like seeing in game?
Sure, I have some aesthetic only Ideas. Little thinks I have notices of random stuff that will make thins look better with very simple twiks and some others not so simple. For example; I am Mexican and even tho Mexico civ is great, little chances like some units upgrades names will be cool and more “historicaly” acurate names. For instances the Veteran, Guard and Imerperal names could be State, Federal and Presidental, the icon for the uprade of this units can be “more mexican like” medals. If posible, some new skin colos for buildings, specialy Maya revolt, for they have a more colorful arquitecture color. etc, etc, etc.
I have more ideas, but im just starting to now how to mod. I just looking to creat somthing with good cuality for the community.
But in shorts, maye could start with units names and some buildings colors?
Its a great place to start.
You should observe a mod already finished and see how it works, and use it as a base to start your work.
Most probably Notepad++ will be useful for you, because AOE III modding files are usually XML.
If I were you and already were doing the mod of names, I would search (with Notepad++ search function) “Insurgente”, “Soldado”, “Charro” and “Salteador” strings. You will find that they have the name for “Soldado imperial” in one String. You may replace whatever you need.
I usually ask here for feedback when I want to do something, but it’s your mod and you could do everything you want.
“Insurgente estatal” is not a great name, I think. “Soldado presidencial” is a good name. “Vigilante federal” is also a good name. You could also use “Soldado del Estado Mayor” for the Guard upgrade.
I have not worked with buildings
Good call. Ill take a look into that.
Hey just got an idea. Any chance You could maken imperial artilery gold looking? Not super gold justo like a hue of gold to distingush guard from imperial artilery. Thks for the time
