Good time of the day, dear Ladies & Gentlemen!
I enjoyed the splendid games from Ensemble Studios "Age of Empires" and "Age of Kings" since my childhood. I started as a regular single-player, then came a long period of hard Multiplayer-battles (mostly with my brother). Now it comes time for modifications and transformations!
It is a long time ago, in 2009, I thought of a creating an OWN MOD. Time has past, and much researches and preliminary work has been done, experience has been gained. Of course, there are a lot of stuff in the internet helping and providing information and software(hundred thanks to Heavengames!). But it turned out to be too hard to finish the mod on my own.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
My idea now is to build a small team of friendly AoK-fans
under common goal to complete a new exciting unofficial mod for the game "AoK-TS".
The future mod must go in following key directions :
- Modifying some unite properties
- Eliminating pop-limit of 200
- Inserting unites from Age of Empires (!)
- Enriching unites vocabulary (more cry-sounds, deaths, grunts, etc)
Afterwards, the work may be extended to cover such ambitious directions as:
- Unites can gain Experience
- Multiple unite attack
- Drawing new unites
- AI scripting (smart AIs)
- Custom and various music and cinematics
- and more.
It is my first break-in.
We have enough time for discussing, hesitating, thinking...
The next details, of course, will follow, as it is so far..
In this topic everybody is welcome to express his/her wish to participate, to leave comments and suggestions to the described project, to ask questions. Considerations about:
if investing efforts to such a Mod makes sense at all or not? - are also important.
Merry Christmas!
