Changes: Modding

Revision as of 19:24, 25 June 2019

Modding is the practice of modifying a game in the Age of Empires series using third-party tools to add or change content such as attributes, buildings, or units.

Age of Empires

These are some prominent Age of Empires mods. Note that some require the Rise of Rome expansion:

Mods

Beyond the Indus Expansion (upcoming, unofficial expansion)
Rise of Minor Empires
UPatch HD (requires the Rise of Rome expansion)
Lost Empires (requires the Rise of Rome expansion)
Anti-Decay mod (requires the Rise of Rome expansion)

Age of Empires II

The lists below divide mods between partial conversions (add-ons) and total conversions; the first category includes mods that add to the original content of the game, as well as unofficial patches, but without dramatically altering the core aspects of gameplay. Some partial conversions can be considered overhauls; these significantly change an entire game's graphics and gameplay but not to the extend of a total conversion.

As for the second category, it includes mods of the Age of Empires games that replace most or all of the artistic assets in the original game and occasionally, aspects of gameplay.

Here are some examples from the second game:

Add-ons

Total conversions

Age of Mythology

Add-ons

The Roman Legion (unreleased)
The Xin Dynasty (unreleased)
Expanded Mod (technically, an overhaul)
