It's been a while since I've made substantial progress on my Age of Kings mod, due to my preoccupation with school and work but also I wanted to wait and see what the new expansion would provide, and I was pleasantly impressed. I know I would already like to use some of the new units for my own mod (like the chu ko nu), saving me the trouble of unnecessary modeling.
The new choice of three major gods means that I could theoretically add another three civilizations from AoK into the game (Slavs, Magyars, and Huns anyone?), a good size for including most of the cultures from the original game, so this definitely opens up some new possibilities.
Before the expansion is released and I can really get back to working on this project, I'd like to put out a preliminary modpack with the units I've created so far just to see what people think and possibly generate some interest in this mod, I'm hoping that this new expansion will bring some fresh attention to the game and thus, to this mod. I've still got to work out some modeling and icon/history stuff before I release the units but it would be good to allow the community to see what I've been working on, hopefully I can make this successfully available on the Extended Edition as well.
This is the extent of my mod so far and this is what you should expect to see in the upcoming unit pack (with some small changes):
Also, can someone unarchive the main thread for this mod? Thanks.
