I suppose that you mean replacing the 'Moderated by Luke' to 'Moderated by Leif Ericson'?

Keep the articles coming, everybody.

*twiddles thumbs*

I suppose that you mean replacing the 'Moderated by Luke' to 'Moderated by Leif Ericson'?

Thats exactly what I mean.

I'm a wee new- how do you take a zipped file (Like a mod) and make it playable in game?

Check out my answer to your question in your other thread.

Don't know if it's the better place to say this but I think it's. I read the Civilizations info in the Game Info section, viewable on the Main Page. There're things missing considering the C patch adds:
*Free loom for Aztecs;
*Free town watch for Byzantines;
*Chinese start with -200 food instead of 150;
*Gothic infantry costs -25% only from Feudal Age;
*Japanese infantry attacks 25% faster only from Feudal Age;
*Korean shinkinchon gives +1 range to onagers instead of 2, and villagers have +3 LOS instead of 2;
*Spanish bombard & hand cannons fire 15% faster.

Hope I forgot nothing. Errare humanum est but please, update this section to rightly inform people who read it. Thank you.

Thanks for letting us know about that. I'll get on it.

Goth infantry cost -35% starting from feudal age, not -25%.

Also, perfusion makes barracks work 100% faster, not 50%.

Finished updating the Civilizations page. Look over it if you like.

John Mendl is right, I looked at it with AGE, and unlike to the patch's words:

*Perfusion make the barracks working 100% faster instead of 50% (which is a lot for civ which already has such a bonus);
*Gothic infantry cost -35% from the feudal age instead of 25%.

Sorry again for this disturbance but ES and MG seem to have been neglecting when they released the patch. And thank you John Mendl for your remarks.

You still havent corrected goths -25% to -35%. I have also spotted another error: the mayan cost bonus of -10%/-20%/-30% affects only archers. It doesnot affect all archery range units.

It should be fixed now.

Thanks for the catch.

I suppose I ought to update a few of my old tutorials and post them here.

That would be great Mashek!

Since I'll have little bit of free time these days, I'll mess with these old articles of mine a bit.

Another plus!

Recently there was another interesting finding. Japanese infantry actually attack 33% faster, not 25%.

nvm.

I saw something by editing the French article of the Conquerors on Wikipedia. It was said that the Korean wonder wasn't the Chinese Tower of Nanjing like we think, but the Hwangnyongsa (sorry for the name ), a Korean tower destructed by the Mongols. The resemblance is indeed striking.

Also, by doing some researches, it is said on Wikipedia too that the hugest yurt in History was the Orda Ger, palace of the Khans (maybe in Saraï, their capital).

I think then that the article about wonders can be updated.

Didn't see that, Leif?

I believe a discussion about the Korean wonder had already been taken elsewhere and the consensus was that the Korean wonder didn't have a perfect correlation with any historical tower. I'll try to find that discussion and confirm that. I'm sorry I didn't respond to you.

EDIT:

Here's the thread. Since it's in Korea, I think Hwangnyongsa would probably be a better choice. I'll put it on my to do list.

Thank you Leif

Hello all,

I have a question about training a self-created unit:

- How can i train a unit which i changed with Genied2(advanced)?

I changed El Cid(hero) for example into a so called 'Buffalo Rider'(mix of the iron boar and battering ram, i used El Cid as main unit because i don't use that unit a lot). Now i want to get this unit trainable in the Castle.

I already gived the 'Buffalo Rider' a free trainingslot (4 i though?) and as building i gived the ID of the Castl (ID of castle = 82).
But i still can not train this unit.
Any tips?

Should be posted in the scenario design and modding forum

Im not sure if i know the answer for that, but did you check the Train Location box?

The Scenario Design and Modding forum is a great place to ask these sorts of modding questions in the future. You're more likely to get a quick answer there.

It looks like you have the correct values set. Genied2 is a simple and easy to use program, but it doesn't have as many options. I recommend you download AGE 2. Go to the section called Attributes. There should be a bunch of checkboxes in that section. Select the checkbox called Enabled. I believe that will solve your problem.

Excuse me for a very stupid question... Tell me where to put the folders from the archives of the scenarios or campaigns, or give me a link to the FAQ where it is explained by detail.
Because I put them right in the game folder, but sounds from the Sounds folder does not played during the game.
Once again sorry for the dumb question.

Look at this thread. Question 134.

I noticed a mispelling with the wonders' page: the Frankish wonder is the Cathedral of Chartres, and not Chartes

Thanks Steve! That's fixed now.

I'm not sure what the right place for this is, so I'm just posting here.

I was playing through the Genghis Khan campaign, and I noticed your walkthrough for Scenario 3 recommends throwing Cavaliers and Light Cavalry (along with the obligatory Mangudai) against the various Chinese players. This seems like a mistake to me, since -- at least when I play -- the Chinese have a real yen for Pikemen and Cavaliers, which will turn your Cavaliers and Light Cavalry into red stains. Wouldn't it be easier to just make Camels/Heavy Camels (paired with the obligatory Mangudai)?

Only the Jin (yellow player) uses cavalry or pikemen from my memory. I haven't read that article in a while, but perhaps these recommendations are for fighting the other three players.

Not true: only Sung use pikemen. Actually, here are the armies for this scenario:

Jin: Cavaliers + Chu ko nu + Monks + Galleons
Tanguts: Arbalests + Scout cavalries + Rams + Scorpions + Monks
Hsi Hsia: Light cavalries + Chu ko nu + Onagers + Trebuchets
Sung: Swordsmen + Pikemen + Scout cavalries + Arbalests + Skirmishers + Monks

What I use then is Mangudais and Heavy Camels, mandatory if you want to deal with Jin quickly.

And as a side note, since I mod the civilizations in my mod, I can tell you that the Jin are also supposed to train Hand cannoneers and a Bombard cannon in addition to all other units, since in my mod, the civ replacing the Chinese are able to train gunpowder units. Which mean that if you wish to add gunpowder units to the Chinese by editing their tech tree, you'll deal with the Jin far harder!

Thanks for the correction, Steve.

Steve beat me to it! I was lumping all the enemy players together as "the Chinese".

Welcome to the forums! You are much more likely to get an answer to your question at the Modding Guild FAQ. The thread you posted in just now is purely meant for questions, suggestions or updates for threads in the University section of the forum.

I'm sorry I thought this was trhead to questions like, if I may clarify, i want say that the problem was that when you put reaserches on feudal age the unit appaers avalible on imperial edge idk why thanks for awserme and told me where i have to ask, thanks i love this web.

The thread I linked to in my previous post will do fine. Alternatively, you could start a new thread at the Scenario Design and Modding section of the forums.

Hello , im new in this forum and new in modding and i have a problem. When i add an unit based on another unit ( I want to make an elephant mounted hand canoneer based on the elephant archer) , when im in the editor and place an elephant archer and a elephant HC , the 2 units are selected instead of only one. Also , the HC has no shooting sound. Can someone help me? thanks!

Your best bet is to ask your questions at the Scenario Design and Modding Forum. This thread is for questions specifically about the University.

AGE not work in AoE Fe (the program only shows options of Conquerors) ¿What I can do to edit? please help me

AOFE is mod from the Conqueror, so the game data is same with the conqueror. You should read all articles in the University. Btw if you want to open file from Mps, you can use 7-Zip.

I was considering writing a tutorial about creating unequal starting positions in random maps, since that's a question which comes up from time to time and there isn't a guide about this as far as I know.
My only worry is that people might misuse this information to create cheat maps for multiplayer.
Thoughts?

Just adding a post to note that the University has receive a massive update in functionality. If anyone missed the news post, go and check it out.
