Modding is the tradition of "modifying" a part of or evan a complete game to something else. Mods have been around since the first First Person Shooter Games, and since recently (since AOK) Modding has hit the RTS scene.

Fortunately for us, Modding is a much easier process to do in AoM than it is in AoK. Partly due to the wide array of tools availible, you can edit just about any aspect of AOM. Here you will learn about XML, Texture, Model, and Data modding in AoM.
