Empire Building Mod

Description
As the title says the main purpose of this Mod is to bring more depth to the Empire Building aspect of Age of Wonders. This includes as an essential part an expansion of the concept of Mythical City Upgrades – but the Mod contains also a lot of other content that is linked to the Empire Building idea: for example several new units for each race that get available if a city is developed in a particular way and that provide some substantial new synergy effects.


Features
For an overview of the features I’ve created a separate Manual:

http://i.imgur.com/99vgoPJ.jpg

It shows the changes and their purpose more illustrative than I could describe it here. Summarized the changes are related to the following things:

- several new buildings that allow more economic and military specialization for cities

- 27 alternative racial units with more variation in unit types (e.g. additional tier II and III archers and irregulars) to make the respective (old and new) mythical city upgrades more valuable

- a more complex Hero upgrade system

- 2 additional combat spells for every class that strengthen different ways for each class to use magic (e.g. combat summoning or crowd control)


Requirements
The Mod needs both DLCs.


Languages
The Empire Building Mod is available in English, German and thanks to mourioche for the most part now also in French (around 90% are finished).


Compatibility
Because this mod changes a lot of data the compatibility is not very high. To make it work together with the Triumphant Heroes you need additionally the following mod:

For compatibility with the PBEM and Single Player Balance Mod you need additionally:

To make it compatible with mods that change heroes you can use the reduced version instead:

It removes all hero upgrades from the Empire Building mod though.

Thanks! I've been trying it and it looks like it, yes

It should work for the campaign as well.
Rewasder Feb 13, 2024 @ 9:46am 
A bit late to the party, but... does the mod affect campaign? Or if I'm just interested in the campaign it won't work?

That is quite fair. Thanks for answering nonetheless. I wish you luck in your future AoW4 modding endeavours and will be sure to keep my eyes peeled for your name on the workshop, when I'll eventually get the game myself. ^^

Unfortunately modding is very time consuming. Currently I'm more focused on AoW4, so it's unlikely that I'll look back into my AoW3 mods and try to reconstruct how I coded them...
CaptainKampfkeks May 29, 2023 @ 6:38pm 
I wonder, would you be perhaps interested to make a compatch for Deluxe Specialisations? That mod allows ultimate freedom in mixing specialisations and even allows multi-classing. The only problem is, that the secondary class buildings can't be build when used alongside your fantastic mod.
And leader skills only draw from the main class, but that could be intented behaviour, I'm not sure.

There will be a mod for AoW4 too but most likely not in the near future. I usually wait until all DLCs are done.

Any chance you'll do empire building mod for AOW4 too in the near future? :profgenki:
Der Mentat  [author] May 1, 2023 @ 12:20pm 
You can just try it. It's very unlikely that it leads to a crash, however the hero skills from one mod might overwrite the skills from the other mod.

I'm searching everywhere for an answer about this. It is compatible with Ayalin's mods? Both make changes to hero skills so I guess not, but I would love to have them together!
