Age of Chivalry: Hegemony
Age of Chivalry - a total conversion modification pack for Age of Empires II: the Conquerors set in Western and Central Europe 1100-1500 AD.
Requires the C patch.
Some versions of AoK:TC come with the patch pre-installed, such as some Gold and Collectors Editions. If this is the case, do not install the patch!
Although the graphic changes are been extensive, we've also gone for a total revamp of the gameplay. We've replaced all of the 18 civilisations, there are many new units, new, civilisation-specific buildings (the Princely Court, the Assembly Hall and the Guild Hall) as well as over a dozen new technologies, policy decisions, a mercenary system, new combat dynamics, and even an extensive history section. Yes, that's right: we're replacing all the civilisations in the game with new ones!
Wider support for scenario-only objects is included, and to showcase these a multi-scenario campaign is included with the mod itself. Multiplayer and random map balance has been tweaked, a rudimentary AI has been included, and with the new countries joining the mix, the European battles are even better!
Features:
* Command one of three types of civilisation: the early-game Communal civilisations, the mid-game, militia/spear-centred Urban societies or the heavy infantry/cavalry Noble principalities
* Prepare to fight! Changed game mechanics ensure a much earlier start to the combat, with archery units available in the first age and castles and battering rams in the second
* Complement your armies with mercenaries like the Genoese Crossbowman, the Privateer, or Scots Guards
* Take up the fight as Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia, Brandenburg, Brittany, Burgundy, Denmark, England, Flanders, Florence, France, Friesland, Genoa, Guelders, Helvetia, Hungary, Liege, Milan, Naples, the Papal States, Poland, Savoy, Saxony, Scotland, Venice, or Wales, each completely different
* Advance your country on one of at least two paths by making essential policy decisions, affecting the future of your people
* New buildings, technologies, and units, from the ordinances of the Princely Court to the might of each faction's hero
* Research new, civ-specific, technologies, such as English Longbowmen or Helvetia's Eidgenossenschaft
* Discover the history of each of the 26 countries - plus special articles on the period's conflicts and warriors
* Historical 8-scenario campaign takes you through some of the major events of the period (the battle of Bouvines, the Barons' War, the conquest of West Friesland, the battle of Kortrijk, the start of the Hundred Years War, the siege of Maastricht, the battle of Chioggia, the battle of Vitkov Hill and the siege of Neuss)
Comes with auto-installer.
Version 2.03
Last updated 29 December 2018
Now includes the Userpatch, which allows you to set the population limit to 1000, play with widescreen, and many more features besides! |

I suggest giving the arbalester a 20% attack speed bonus over the crossbowman instead of the 20% attack bonus, since arbalests were only able to fire faster, not to do more damage.

Hi,
first of all, this mod is awesome!!
But unfortunately I can't play it in in the multiplayer mode. A few seconds after the game starts it says:"Game out of sync"
Can someone give me a hint how to fix it?
I tried the "normal" AOE II Conquerors after uninstalling AOC in the multiplayer and it works fine ...
Please help me! =)
Greetings

I have not tried AoC in multiplayer, however I would think that all players in the game much have the mod installed first. Have you tried that? |

HI, we tried a two player lan game.
Both have the same AOE II version, same patch, same mod. And normal AOE II multiplayer works well ...

Cooperda, a lot of multiplayer games are being played with Age of Chivalry. The error you report, an out of sync error, occurs when there is either a problem in the connection between two players - something we can discount because you said you could play normal AoK in multiplayer with your friend - or when the two pcs do not have the same data file. This means that either you or your friend did not properly install Age of Chivalry, or that you do not have the same version installed. Remember that you (and your friend) need to have the 1.0c patch installed prior to installing Age of Chivalry (except if you have the gold/collector's edition of AoK, which has the patch pre-installed). |

Hello,
I just downloaded this mod, and I must confess that it's the best AOEII mod I've ever seen.
However: I found a mistake in the history of Flanders:
In 1830, Belgium was created; but Flanders has never been independent. Belgium consists of Flanders and Wallony. (Wallony is French languaged and Flanders Dutch languaged.) And has been created by the other "big" countries like France, Germany, UK, ... to be a "buffer" state between France and Germany. |

Hi Saturn,
Thanks for your compliments!
However, I disagree with your opinion. Although no elections were held, all of Flanders bar the city of Bruges joined in the Belgian Revolution (Antwerp also was pro-Dutch, but was not part of Flanders historically). Therefore, this was the first time that Flanders actively participated in the creation of their own state - which in my opinion more than justifies the etiquette of achieving independence. That some Flemish people today - or in the past, but the Flamingant movement only really started half a century after the independence - have been unhappy with the course of events does not detract from that.
Also, Germany did not yet exist in 1830, and France and the UK (nor Prussia) did not create Belgium. Rather, they said that they would intervene on behalf of the Belgian revolutionaries if the Dutch tried to re-occupy it. This is what France actually did in 1831, when a Dutch army invaded and reached Leuven. However, all gains made by the Belgian revolutionaries were made by them alone, and the UK only supported an independent Belgium because it was clear the Dutch government was incapable of hanging on to it.
Finally, the modern day division between 'Flanders' and 'Wallonia' you mention is not historical; the principal territories in modern day Belgium were the duchies of Brabant and Luxembourg, the counties of Flanders, Namur, Hainaut and Loon/Looz, and the prince-bishopric of Liège. All of these were bilingual, having both Dutch and French speakers, with the exception of Namur and possibly Hainaut. The modern day division has been made entirely on linguistic grounds and has little to do with history. |

You're right, my mistake; Germany didn't exist then yet. (Like you said, I meant Prussia.)
But: it were the "chique" French speaking persons in Belgium who made the descisions, the Flemish people were simple farm people or workers. (Only a few had actually some kind of "status".) Ok, there were French speaking (and there are still) Flemings, but they started speaking French te be fancier. Lawsuits were a long time only French, Dutch people weren't even able to defend themselves. One of the first(or maybe the first, I'm unsure) Dutch university was build by the Germans during the First World War. (more than 80 years after creation of Belgium!)
And why are all the kings (the first too) not Flemish?
Just to be short: the real Flamish people, not the ones who had all the power (and of course French-speaking) were not happy with the creation op Belgium.
These days are there even still many persons in Europe who consider Belgium as French, while 60% is Dutch.
I really have respect for your work, and I hope you understand me what I'm trying to say. The language problems in Belgium are just not very known in other countries. (I presume you're not an inhabitant of Flanders.)
You can read at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Revolution
"A linguistic reform in 1823 intended to make Dutch the official language in the Flemish provinces, since it was the language of most of the Flemish population. This reform met with strong opposition from the upper and middle classes who at the time were mostly French speaking. On 4 June 1830, this reform was abolished."
"The Belgian Revolution of 1830 crystallised this antagonism, with the final arrangements favoring the French-speakers. French became the official language and an active policy of 'francification' was pursued; both Dutch and the Walloon language were banned in schools and government (also in the Dutch speaking northern half of the country). William had organised education so that everyone could be taught in their own language, causing the number of children in primary education to double from 150,000 to 300,000. After the revolution, this trend reversed."[Edited on 05/15/10 @ 01:07 PM]

Saturn, although quite a few Flemish people were deeply unhappy with the way their language was treated after achieving independence, this is irrelevant when it comes to the act of declaring independence. At the time they did not know what independence would bring. As I said - and which you ignored - there was no support among the Flemish for the Dutch government, except in Bruges (according to a Flemish source - '1830, De scheiding van Nederland, België en Luxemburg', by Rolf Falter). Had the Flemish peasants not wished to participate in the revolution, resisting the very feeble Belgian government would have been easy at first, especially as the Dutch were still trying to cling on to Bruges and environs at first. But they did not receive real support anywhere, and all of Flanders was quickly coming out in support of the revolutionaries.
The Flemish failure to voice any disagreement at the declaration of independence implies a tacit acceptance of the new government. And this agreement went further, as of course the Flemish upper classes were mostly in agreement with it. You personally might not agree with how things turned out, but that's not relevant to the historian.
And French speaking Flemings are still Flemings. Neither is the ancestry of the kings of Belgium relevant, as they're not Walloon either. They were German exiles who moved to the UK before Leopold I became King of Belgium. Until after World War II, the royal family was far more popular in Flanders than in Wallonia, which was more socialist and therefore anti-monarchy.
Personally I've lived in Leuven for a year and in Kanne for two years, and I have quite a few Belgian (Flemish) family members. I am well aware of Belgium's modern day problems. However, you are projecting your personal feelings on the past. The revolution of 1830 was a revolution which was supported by the Flemish people. The history document is correct in this respect. |
