Yes good point… same in moddb I saw one who had tried to adapt aoe 3 in the aoe 2 HD and the truth looked interesting, it was called aoe 2: the next chapter and knew how to adapt very well aoe 3 in aoe 2…
This is a total conversion mod for Age of Empires 2 HD Edition, which takes place in the colonial era. This is not an Age of Empires 3 remake, nor is it simply Age of Empires 2 set in the colonial era. There are new units, buildings, techs, and features which help it better fit into the colonial era.
