Hello everyone!
I wanted to make a thread sharing a new creation:
This mod reskins the United States, turning it into a wild west railroad company bearing the same name as in the Campaign: The Falcon Company. Most of the unique units and techs have been remade into appropriately themed variants, while keeping the tech names consistent with the effects.
The best part is, it’s fully multiplayer compatible. Everything is kept purely cosmetic so the civ can be played in standard multiplayer lobbies.
For example, Lee’s Legion is now Free Range Ranching, and delivers the new reskinned unit instead of Carbine cavalry:
Give it a try here: Mods Single - Age of Empires

Gatling gunners needs a more modern uniform IMHO
With the way I’m doing it, changing a model changes the model for every civ and unit that uses it. That may be fine in the case of the gats but I need to be careful. The hat the gatling gun uses might be getting used by a dozen units.
Wow, wonderful idea.
I tried to do something similar, but I modified the files of each unit to include a skin for the campaign civ, like Knights of St John:
A question, if the mod is purely cosmetic, how can you be changing the name?
As always, awesome job!

I’m calling new string names “cosmetic” since it doesn’t change the stats of anything.
Does that turn Malta into the Knights of St John, or are you modifying the campaign civ?
No, I’m just changing skins for campaign units, not turning Malta in anything

Very cool! It’s nice to see someone go back and give the campaigns a little bit of attention.

Hello. I have installed the mod and I see no effect however. I erased all othe mods. Anyone else having the same problem?
Did you restart your game? I’ll check to make sure it’s still downloading properly on my end.
Of course, I unsubscribes from other mods and I even try putting you mod inside the Local file. I still dont see the result

Would you mind checking your local folder and confirm that there are files in there, and also check the size of the folder? My thought is it maybe didn’t upload or download all the way.
Wait I think i got it. It only transforms the American civilisation in Skirmish mode. But Not in the story mode. I wish I could change the skins of the story mode Characters =/ Sorrry for the interupt

I’m glad you figured it out!
And yes, the story mode USA civ is coded as a separate civ. A couple things may have gotten changed just from being shared with the skirmish civ but all the changes are intended for the skirmish civ.
