I had a go at upscaling these images for the fun of it and in case anyone has interest in making use of them (e.g. to port to DE). Thanks to the author for making the source files available.

Here is a quick animation preview of the results:

(click to magnify to better see the difference)

And you can download the full set of upscaled files here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1bc6trxweuzuw0/Oxam-Architecture-Renovation_Upscaledx4.zip?dl=1

Probably they could do with some additional touch-up work on some of the finer details but you get the idea. Feel free to make use of these files as suggested by the original author.

If anyone makes bug fixes on this mod, please let me know where I can subscribe. Thank you so much.

bro, author is gone. also,
any quick search on mod compatibility issues would recommend deleting the file from the directory .

best

What civ types does that mod NOT change?

the best mod of all history, the creator could do the same for Italians and Ethiopians?

Thanks for everything dude

IMPORTANT: I've had to step away from Modding for the time being, I've uploaded all the original files/ raw materials used in this mod at this address https://colorfiction.itch.io/ao2ar , if anybody wants to take on the mantle and update/improve the work or use it in their mods feel free to do so! Much love and a big hug! -Oxam

Anyone else find that this mod doesn't affect the Britons?

Why italian archery is replaced by mid-east archery? It's a bug right?

Hi Oxam... I've been injoying your mode since past year. But.. the Italian archery still has troubles... I hope u can fix it soon as possible... Thanks!

Here comes the obligatory "Independant Architecture" comment if you haven't gotten a ton already. I'd like to see these applied to one civilization that uses the tileset, for each tileset, that you think would be most fitting. Have a nice mix of custom architecture but without 'totally' overriding the originals. I'd appreciate your consideration. In the meantime, great work!

aztecs left plis aztec too

Muy bueno :3

Fix the damn bug with italian archery ranges.

This mod is absolutely amazing. Do you plan on also adding the updated architecture to the African, Mediterranean, and Eastern European Civs, like the Slavs?

Hi Oxam... I've been injoying your mode since past year. But.. the Italian archery still has troubles... I hope u can fix it soon as possible... Thanks!

Oxam. WHY THE FUCK WON'T YOU FIX THAT GOD DAMN BUG WITH THE ITALIEN ARCHERY RANGE????????!!!!!!!. IT IS TO FOOLISH TO HAVE A MIDDLE EAST LOOKING BUILDING WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A EUROPEAN COUNTRY

Btw, if you have Draco's DLC Longevity mod, the Barracks (as they all look like small "Blockhouses"[AoE 3 reference], thus the mod makes these even more realistic. This mod is a job well done. Could you release the ME architecture seperatly?

great mod, can't imagine playing without it since it makes the game look so much more realistic and fresh after playing it for so many years. looks like an entirely new game now.

But please fix the bug with the italian archery range

Amazing job but when are you going to do something for the expansions?

Could you do one for slavs?

GOSH finally a mod that is update via Subscribing installation! :D

I definitely like these textures. Do you have any plans to make textures for The Forgotten/African Kingdoms civs?

Unsubscribed 'cause of the entrance of the European castle. It's a drawbridge, you can't put a roof on top of it, pls fix ;(

work on multiplayer?

Mr Oxam,

I was rather hoping to make a mod that uses yours as a base but then has certain assets from elsewhere that I prefer. I just wanted to know what rules you have around this.

All the best
Galu

This mod is most impressive and was created with a lot of hard work, heart and soul, so much for sure!
Somehow the buildings of the Indian nation are still the original ones when I play 'em. Does anybody know where this is comming from?

Nuremberg is my home city and some of the middle age designs look just like some of the preserved buildings here! :)

This is easy one of the best mods out there...makes it much more unique....I love it

IS GOOD.

when fixed the bug of the italian archery mediterran?
I still waiting for 5 years...

sooo you fixed the bug of the italian archery my friend?

Hey Oxam, I'm making a couple of total conversion mods for the CD-version (since HD lost support for data mods). May I use your buildings in these mods? I quite admire the work you've put into these.

Paid mods are coming back, I hope this one will remain free to use.

indeed the archery range for the italians is now the arabians' one. It wouldn't bother me that much, but the colour sticks out so much compared to the bleached stone of the other italian buildings, and as that civ you're supposed to have a few of archery ranges around to amass decent amounts of archers - so it's a quite common sight.

Tried to fix it with the turtle pack SLP editor but the error must be somewhere, the game handles the building architecture set unproperly, as there is no modded slp for the italians' arch set.

You lose the cool looking fortress in this mod and is replaced with a second identical renovated castle. Is there a way to stop this? Plus the new seigeworkshop really sucks. Is there a way to delete these buildings so i can have them back.
Also is there a way to have the buildings only change to the full removation at imperial age not castle? because the small castle age houses look sweet too.

awesome

There is a bug! for some reason, the Italian (mediterranean) archery ranges are changed to the Middle Eastern Graphics. Please fix!!!! :-(

Is there a way I can remove the renovations on houses? I love all the other building mods, however the houses are too tall and I enjoy the originals better.

Spectacular mod - thankyou so much.
If I wanted to install only the castles/towncentres, how would I do this please?

Do you want to earn some donation? Like 10 Euro for example for start? Here„s what i want you to do.
1. I want the western civilizations roofs to look like in this mod http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598911870&searchtext=&insideModal=0&requirelogin=1 for both feudal trait as well for imperial. How the roofs looks in your current mod i like it but for castle age the roofs from the mod i mentioned it looks like imperial thing and i want to look like that in imperial, you can ask the guy to give you his data since he copied you. Also the farms he has 3 different farms and i like them A LOT. In those screens only one tipe you can see.
2. Fix the bug i mentioned in my other post with italian archery building in imperial looking like Saracen Archery.
3. I like the spearmen as well the pikemans don„t like the halbardiers. Make their armor more silverish also their weapon is to black you can bearly see it put some resonances on it make it visible.

4. The persian elephants are not designed right, utleast their animation at front legs, when they walk they look like they got cramps, like they are paralyzed. To me it looks like they don„t have knees, their legs aren„t bending at all, also that white dress it„s to bright and to simple.
5. Mangudai unit look like they are heavy armored with that dress on them and we all know the secret in their conquest was their light cavalry archers. Make the horses with no dress on them or a bit in the front, their riders dress in white and the color you have in the respective scenario as for the horses make them white with black spots, after all they weren„t using real horses they were using pones or a cousin to horses.

6. Ram, battle ram, siege ram. Comparing those with onager /siege onager the only thing i really hate is that battle ram the second ram, it„s wheels are small when to onagers are made big without that iron layer on them. So make the same to battle ram, the wells looking big without the cover thing.
7. Monks make their outfit looking like papa from Vatican with cruxes and all that stuff on it also the Spanish Missionary monks the ones on donkeys.
8. You should revise some ships especially fishing ships, transport ships and war galleys.
9. Bombard canon can you make it a bit HD with some shapes on it„s clothes as well on the cannon, that would be great.

10. Teutons special unit i like it how it„s made don„t like the horns from helmet, remove those also the cape bring it back but only to cover it„s back, shield and sword still visible.
11. Siege tower i swear that is copied from empire earth 1 game. Put some shield on it, it„s wheels bigger, 2 people pushing from behind it.
12. Magyar Huszar unit don„t like it to simple i like the shield, the horse could be revamped a bit also the weapons bigger more complex could be switch with a big white axe..
13. Ethiopians/Malians special units look kinda the same do something about that too.

This mod has a bug to one of the buildings. Italian archery building looks like Saracen archery building, so fix that.

some love for mesoamerican civs... pleasee!!!!! you are great!!

man this really improves the overall look of an imperial age town, are you planning on tackling the mesoamerican, slavic and mediterranean architectures as well ?

wohoo!

Hey! Happy Holidays and 2016!! I've finally time off on January (wohoo!!!) and i'll be getting this up and running with the new expansion that i've yet to check out, looks good tho! So in the meantime go celebrate everybody, its a new year!
