Should there be new expansions?

Btw is it possible to add new civis in AOE DE? I know its not possible in AOE2 DE yet.

I think they should fix this game first and get it right. By the way the messaging system on this game is the poorest developed thing I’ve ever seen. Why is it like this?

I guess they made this ā€œremakeā€ just to say ā€œpresentā€. They never focused seriously in AoE1, this was a message to say ā€œthe best is comingā€, of course hinting Age of Empires 2 DE.

Yes. it’s time for Age of Empires 1 DE to have an update (expansion). Not even if it was paid. all the improvements you said are in a Mod of Age of empires 1 (from the original game version), but unfortunately they have not completed this mod.

Age of Empires 1: Beyond Indus (which bring +4 civilizations (Vietnamese, Funan, Harappan, Mauryan) an Indian architectural ensemble (indus)).

They even made a manual.
in it we can see:
scout update: (light cavalry); = bronze age
Slinger update: (improved Slinger); = bronze age
update of the Camel Rider (armored Camel Rider); = Iron age

Two new units:
Spearman (tool age): anti-cavalry infantry unit;
Trade Caravan (Bronze Age): land trade unit (similar to Trade Boat).

A new building
Trade Workshop: used to trade with the Trade Caravan.
= bronze age

five New Technologies:
Civil Service: military units are produced 15% faster; = iron age
Hide Shield: +1 piercing armor; = tool age
Lookouts: buildings have +2 line of sight; = tool age
Pottery: farmers, fishermen, foragers, and hunters carry +2 food and work 20% faster; = tool age
Weaving: villagers have +15 hit points; = age of the tool.

[Some things I would also like to see in this Mod would be:
new units
in the Siege workshop = flamethrower (unit launches flames with attack bonus against buildings and other siege units) = available in the Iron Age;
an update to Spearman for the Bronze Age.
I would also like this trade workshop building to sell (buy / sell) Stone, food, wood];

I would really like the producers of Age of Empires 1 to pay attention to this Mod and make it an official expansion for Age of Empires 1 DE.

Wrong topic dude. AoE De 1

until a few moments before I here on the forum, it was available. In the meantime, they withdrew. I do not know why. But here’s the link to the manual. You will be able to look quickly. For it is possible that they also remove it from the air:

Could you post the installation files on a mirror for us to download? Any images of the units in game?

Wow, this is really high quality content. It should be an official expansion for sure.

Good Morning. were you unable to open the manual at the link above? In it are all the units, building, technologies, civilizations and many other things about the Mod. Whoever looks at the mammographic is surprised and even imagines that the game was ready. I often asked developers if the game was ready. But the last answer I got was that they would only have an alpha version for internal testing of them, and that it wouldn’t have evolved since then. It’s a shame, because I had great hope of seeing this mod come out and that it would become an official expansion. For everything that the manual presents suggests that it would have this potential.

I could open the manual. Some interesting stuff in there but not much graphics of the new unit models. Hopefully there are some ways to get this stuff online in time, hopefully in line with AOEDE because the concepts are interesting. A spearman line good against cavalry would be nice to see as most soldiers in ancient armies would have had spears anyway, of varying levels of heavyness.

Good afternoon people. I found the links that lead to the discussion forum. They changed the path (link). So we were unable to open them any more. But here are the new links:
Mod: New 3d modeled unit graphics (and modifications)
http://aoe.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aoecgi/display.cgi?action=ct&f=4,6579,,10

Age of empires 1: Beyond the Indus:
http://aoe.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aoecgi/display.cgi?action=st&fn=4&tn=6577&f=4,6577,0,10&st=275

Some images can be extracted from the New 3d Modeled Unit Graphics (and modfications): for example, the slinger, scout, camel Rider upgrades. As well as Trade Caravan and even the flamethrower that I mentioned that I would like to see in the game as well.

Some of the units are incredibly adorable like the Armoured Slinger and the Caravan (which AOE2DE still doesn’t even have), also the flame thrower which looks like a fat rubber tank :stuck_out_tongue: Could these be modded into AOE1DE? Plus the new civilisations too.

as I said one is mod * New 3d modeled unit graphics (and modifications) * the other never left the paper unfortunately (Beyond the Indus). If you can join the forums above, both were being designed for the vanilla version (original age of empires). But my dream would be for this mod (Beyond the Indus) to get off the ground and really become an official expansion for the Age of Empires 1 Definitive Edition. However it seems that it will be just a dream even unfortunately. Looking at the innovations that this version would bring (Beyond the indus), such as the Trade Caravan, improved slinger, light cavalary, armored camel rider, and the spearmen (anti cavalry unit for the tool age), and technologies (Hide Shield, Civil Service , Lookouts, Pottery and Wearving, would bring such a great innovation to the game that it would pay for this expansion with ease. It would add a new game touch to Age of empires 1.

How could we do this project or at least these ideas to the developers? are very interesting ideas for a new expansion for AoE DE. can we somehow get this to the developers?

Don’t worry, this thread is pretty relevant as of right now. It’s one of the most commented, lately.

Really hope the devs consider adding this to the game as a DLC. I think there’s a lot of people still interested in AoE DE, but that were turned off by the lack of new content for the game. There’s still so much potential in AoE 1!

I really don’t understand why until today there is an expansion for Age1 (Rise of the Rome). Age 2 had 5 expansions (the Conquerors, Forgotten Empires, African Kingdoms, Rise the Rajas and Last Khans [DE]). This mod that was under development (Beyond The Indus) has a lot of interesting things, the theme and the new civilizations (Indus), the new units and the upgrades they bring, the new dynamics it brings (negotiating on land with the Trade Caravan ), in addition to technologies. Too bad they didn’t finish this project. But the manual, itself, has already brought a great idea, for an expansion.
