Improvement Mod version 4.9.3

This is a huge visual update. Most new stuff are skins and fixes to use previously unused original skins and models.

This time I tried to keep track with every big change I make so I have a little proper change log:
- added two new ship tactics (default mode and anchored mode)
- added new Sioux male villager model
- added unused Chinese models for most soldiers
- added new Aztec Native Scout model
- improved the new Aztec buildings (removed the grass from them)
- added new East and West European skins for the Command Center
- added new East European Outpost skin
- added the University to all Asian civs
- added new AgeUp sound for Natives and a sound for when "Spies" is researched
- changed the Mameluke's horse with a camel (for AoE2 fans)
- changed the Cavaleiro and Marine icons and portraits
- fixed Morutaru models when improved
- bug fixes...

So, here you have it. As usual, no one knows if a future update will ever come, so enjoy this one.
I would like to thank my friend Martin (known as Don Omar or Archangel) again for helping me out with stuff.

And please leave feedback... bugs will only get fixed if people report them.

Improvement Mod version 4.9

Aaaaaaand, it's here!
The most stable, complete and bug-less version of the mod so far, is out for everyone to enjoy!

What does it bring? Tons of tweaks and bug fixes, plus, of course, some new things.

Visual changes for the Crossbowman, Longbowman, Musketeer and Coureur de Bois. Some changes to the French and Russian homecities and some roll-backs on the unique Dutch and British techs. The first upgrades for artillery units have been made a little more expensive, from 250 to 300, which still seems too cheap but I'll leave it this way for now.
Made defensive buildings a little bit more stronger, but made the Bastion tech available from the Fortress Age.

And many other things, but I hate getting into details. I do love details but I hate getting into them...

So, just re-download the mod and make sure you tell everyone else to do the same, a future update is uncertain.

Speaking of French, WSH has made a file which translates the mod in French. You can try it out, I can't because I don't know French...

Age of Empires Online

I do not know how many of you have played the new free to play AoE Online, but those who haven't, you better get your ass there right now! It's basically complete by now with more updates to come.

AoEO is your casual AoE game, build on the AoE3 engine, being a combination between the first AoE and AoM, with a bit of AoE3 in there as well, it is free to play (pay to win), playable from Steam or GFWL, if Steam says the game doesn't support your country, like in my case...

The gameplay, everybody knows it. Even the PVP is exactly the same, everybody rushing like hell, building bases around your back and other crap like that... I hate this kind of stuff, reason for why I don't play RTS games online. And when I do, I play with friends, and we play "by the book", enjoying every second, not rushing like the world is ending...

So, get it right now, and tell us what do you think about it?

Regarding the next update for the mod, it will be version 4.9, and will have many changes. Details soon.

Improvement Mod version 4.8.4

As the survey draws to an end the answer is clear... there is no AI problem... there are people which experience some kind of bugs, but those are isolated cases, with probably good reasons (like previous uninstalled mods).

So, a... yeah, lets get down to business.

This new version is nothing big but I wanted to make sure the AI "fix" gets to everyone.
Still, it has a couple of new things.

Building rubble (including crops) now stay for a longer time. Nothing exaggerated of course.

Also some bug fixing.

PLEASE try out this new version and tell me if you get any error!

Please work...

Well, as some of you might have noticed... the mod is broken... the mod's AI more exactly.

I said 'some' because it seems not everyone is getting the error, which is strange enough.

Even stranger is the fact that I don't know what's wrong... meaning I don't know what to fix...

Still, I made a little change and I hope it will fix it for everyone. I hope...

So, those who had the error, please download this:

You know what to do with it.
Please report back!
