AoE: Because i simply cant stop pimping my mod out.

---

Welcome to AoE
In the past, AoE has graced mod night, twice i believe, with its unbalanced and supremely addictively frustrating glory. This mod will make you scream and want to hit me over the head with the more balanced mods you get to play with all your friends.

But as said, even for the great Voy himself, balance is always, always optional.

AoE has a concept of faster firing, less damaging units. And it has to look cool while doing so. Nearly all building GRPs are custom, (and uncentered) and are great for show.
The balance has alot to be desired, and the grafted versions are only 1.14 compatable.

All in all, this is my only completely finished and awesomely fun mod. If your having a LAN, or need to vote for something for mod night, this is the winner.

We will never play this at mod night unless you center the graphics ;o

Meh, i never will.
Im too lazy and im too concerned that im never going to finish another mod. ):

Trying to finish AoE2 but i dont think i will, or any other mod for that matter.

For some reason the same problem i had with mapping has infected my modding.

Don't suppose you'd mind if someone attempted to balance your mod out?

I've been thinking it might be easier for me to go about balancing and changing other people's mods than to make my own.

I'm sure if Exy isn't willing to enough to balance out he'll let someone else do it for him. Then again I could be wrong.

The mod's latest incarnation of 1.0c is balanced as i want it to be, as is Special Edition (SE).
If anyone would like to just center the GRPs, id very much appreciate it.

And as a side note, if i remember correctly, the more popular appearance of AoE on modnight was either .39c or .44. SE was played on a less popular night and so i feel my re-balancing hasnt really been noticed. ):

i love mods!! ^_^ even if they arent balanced xD

i just hope it doesnt crash alot like Antithesis T_T!

I never saw Antithesis Rising crash on the correct version...

Maybe hes playing on the beta FG version?

Didn't you say uber units in topic descriptions?
I don't see any.

Ex, this mod really has balance issues that need to be fixed.

i agree with that.

This mod has the balance i intended, if you dont like it or cant get the hang of it, thats your problem.
AoE2 however will sport a balance that i feel is easier to get into the swing of. If i ever get to finishing it.

As far as AoE1 goes, im happy with everything but the un-centered GRPs.

I'm still looking foward to seeing the uber units...

By uber units i meant each races super unit.
Ultralisk, Siege Tank, Carrier.

I still don't see any unit anywhere on the screenshots rather than just scvs and my old crbbcrfts voyship.

Overall I was fairly disappointed in this mod. The race I was most impressed by was the Terrans, these seemed to have the most thought put into them. The Zerg and Protoss seemed poorly thought out and put together.

My favourite unit was the firebat, it had a cool attack, a cool new graphic, but still managed to seem like a firebat. If all the units had been in this style I would have been fairly pleased with this mod.

The building graphic changes looked experimental and didn't really fit any theme as far as I saw. The academy was the coolest looking one, yet you neglected to put the colours on it that signify the player who owns it. As I saw it you weren't really trying to get a theme going with the buildings, you were just trying to put some cool looking individual pieces in.

I also didn't like how the cc/nexus/hatcheries were detectors and all the workers were cloaked, this would prevent a lot of backdoor strategies, like lurker drop/reaver drop on miner line, or at least require a lot of extra effort to get them to work properly.

I suppose I just went into this with my expectations set too high, because I came out of it disappointed.
