As some of you may have read on my sign, my previous 300 Modpack 1.1 have reach more than 2000 downloads, and a rate of five stars. However that mod isn't a quality product, the textures aren't good, and the units wasn't very original, so to thank all the downloaders, I have done this:
300 MODPACK 2.0
Updates from Version 1.1:
Hero Leonidas
Strong Greek Hero, good against myth units and infantry, he no longer were the girly skirt from version 1.1, but he has been improved withmanly spartan leather underware!.
The kingship usually keeps Leonidas Busy on the Town Center, or the Fortress, when playing Zeus. His prescence have a permanent attack boost to all Spartan Hoplites around him.
Spartan Hoplites
Train since their childhood to the battle, the Spartan Hoplites keep following they King wherever he goes. Good against any other infantry, they're better when figthing in groups. The most disciplined soldiers of the Ancient World, they follow the uniform that the King has adopted.
When they are not in the battle, they train in the inside of the greeks fortress, but being from the linage of Heracles, they will only come in your aid if you worship Zeus.
Persian Immortals
Fearless, soulless, the Immortals are not the bunch of old ladys they use to be in version 1.1, cause The King of Kings, The God King Xerxes is displeased with their previous fails. Now the Immortals are crueler than ever, a demonic horde carrying the black flags of their order to the battlefield, the mere precense of the Immortal boost the attack of your soldiers, who remember that they need to fear most the rage of the Immortals than the enemy in front.
The Persian Immortals come to the help of any Sha incarnated in the Pharao of Egypt, they have their quaters on the Midgol Stronghold, independently of the god you worship.
Mod Features:
This Mod is intended to be has easy to install as possible. Because of this, there is no need to copy/paste any file or text, the installer should do it all by itself. This Mod shouldn’t affect the online and multiplayer capabilities of the downloaders.
To achieve this, the Mod run in a different edited AOM.EXE called Ancient Warrios.EXE. This program load a new set of files instead of the normal ones.
AncientL.dll instead of language.dll
awdat.xml and awdat.xmb instead of proto.xml and proto.xmb
awtechtr.xml and awtechtr.xmb instead of techtree.xml and techtree.xmb
awarriortrsfm.xml and awarriortrsfm.xmb instead of unittransform.xml and unittransform.xmb
anwasound.xml and anwasound.xmb instead of SoundSets.xml and SoundSets.xmb
In this way the downloaders should be able to play multiplayer games with the regular AOM.EXE, and play the modded game with Ancient Warrios.EXE
The units are intended to fit into the regular game as if they were created by ES. The Spartan Hoplites replace the Myrmidons and Hero Leonidas replace Heracles, this units are in game trainable when playing Zeus. The Persian Immortals are trainable for all Egyptian Gods on the Midgol Stronghold, along with the regular Egyptian units. There is also a second version of the Immortal that can be access trough unit transformation, called Immortal Standard Bearer. There´s also a editor only unit called Sha´an´Sha Xerxes. All this units are planned to respect the game balance, they are strong but expensive. Myrmidons and Heracles are still on the game trough the editor.
All units have custom icons, history files, rollover text, and sounds. Units are also affected by technologies although they have no TechLogic variation. Spartan Hoplites have three face variations and two sets of models, giving six unit variations. Leonidas have two model variations. All the units have completely new models.
In the same way that is suppose to be easily installed, the Mod should be also easily uninstalled, on your main AOM folder, you should find a uninstaller that removes the Mod files without affecting any other file or Mod.
