About this mod

This AOE3 mod changes a lot to the base game. The idea came from the improvement mod, but I made changes to make it more fun. I added all kinds of units and options to all civilizations. I even made a program to calculate the prizes of all units based on there stats. Have fun :P

Hello everyone, i'm CC, and i play AOE3 with my own mod.

I'm playing with this mod on my YT channel. I whanted to make a mod for AOE3 cause I had a lot of ideas for it. First of I played the improvement mod with some friends. But it had a bunch of changes we did not like to have in the game. So I started making my own mod and worked on it for 160 hours of editing and play testing. I played with all Civilizations till lvl 40 legit. I have had a lot of fun with it so now I'm playing it on my channel to show it to others.

In order to make this mod I made a program with web programming (PHP) to do some math for all the units. I didn't like the prices some units had, it just felt imbalanced, underpriced or overpriced in general. So I made a program that did the math for it. In the end, I was right, some units were over- or under-priced. You will notice that when know the original prices vs my mods prices.

Note: I cannot be sure all details are in the changelog, if i did a generated list of all changes it would give a thousand lines or so.

--- New Log 1.0

-- Protoy

- Added: Minimum Range for Cannons.
- Added: Villagers from all civilzations are able to build a
Town Center.
- Added: All units that are added to the civilizations are copies
from the original, both the original and the copied version
can be used. Copied version has upgrades which are able to make
the copied version stronger than the original. The stats of the
copied version are lower than the original, therefor they're
cost is also lower. All new units do not have the Mercenary
unit type attribute, they are known now as regular units.
- Added: All new units have been added to the Barracks and Stable.
- Added: Fame armies can be build at the Fort or the Dojo.
- Added: The new Cherokee units from the native civilizations can

and the monastery. All original Mercenary units cannot be
created anymore.
- Note: All units that are mentioned below are the copied version

armor and damage values with damagebonuses.

useful Fort.

If it wasnt changed the Indian Home City card that decreases
Elephant Pop Cost will decrease there Pop to 1, which is kinda
unrealistic.
- Changed: Hoop Throwers original stats are not useful for Skirmish,
since the original unit is from the campaign scenario's. New stats
are based on the Grenadier, but it has reversed advantages and
disadvantages.
- Changed: Ninja has lower damagebonus against Mercenary and Hero.
Ninja has received a bonus against Cavalry and Infantry.
- Changed: All Cherokee units have new stats due to they originally
