Hey gracias :)
Para ser honesto no creo que pueda volver a actualizarlo.
Igualmente ya que el nuevo juego es tan facil de modificar, seguramente ya va a ver alguien que tome las unidades de ahi y las ponga en aoe jaja.
Pero mi idea de terminar este mod todavia sigue en pie, solo que no se cuando :(
Thanks a lot! the team is really dedicated, we want to give you guys something really nice to play.
Thank you! and we are still on early alpha, we need to improve a lot of stuff.
If you have suggestion to do, please do it :)
Thanks a lot for your collaboration! I am glad you liked it so far :D
There will be monks, with brown robes, but as healers mostly, not converting with magic :P
Hey guys! I have good news, the game I am working on is up on Kick starter :D
If you want to check it out to see more info about it, and have any feedback please feel free to comment.
Thank you for your time :D
Is not I who is making it, I dont know anything about programming. I am in charge of the graphics but yeah, the idea is to make a new aoe that will work for everybody with no problems, will not require installation and will be free :D
Of course some stuff will change but the core idea will be similar to keep you guys still at home.
Once the kickstarter starts there will be a lot of more info.
If you check out the video link, I am just the graphic artist there, the guy in charge Chris is the programmer and is doing an exptionally fast work.
The release date will be this year :)
You can try some of the demos if you want, they are extremely basic because is pre alpha, but to get an idea of what the engine is capable to do.
Concerning the content that I made for feudal wars, I am sure people will find out ways to put it in aoe since both have similar visuals, and feudal wars is beign made to be extremely modable, is a lot easier to mod than aoe.
Here is a video about it if you are interested on it Youtube.com

The good thing is that it will be like aoe so you guys will feel really familiar with it.
Also, remember that in aoe when you create villagers they can randomly be female or male?
Well here I am designing the units to have like 5 variations of the same one, so when you create lets say a champion, it can have 5 different looks but still similar, the armies will look really awesome and variated and not like clone wars like in aoe that the unit always look the same.
Hope you guys like this and I hope you guys also liked my work on the African Kingdoms.
Thank you everybody as always for your patience and support, take care all :)
Thank you for your patience, this is a small showcase of what I have been doing:
I still cant believe I am beign part of this, I really hope to not let you guys down!
Once the new game is released I am going to keep working on this mod again.
Thank you everybody for your patience and support, everybody have been great so far :)
Hey, lots of the stuff that I posted here but are not released yet, you can find them live in Age of chivalry.
The game structure is different because of how the mod is done, but for example all the england/france units that I posted on the previous screenshot are already implemented there in Kor's mod.
Thank you! yeah I am really happy. The last year I could contribute only with the Indian wonder, but I am doing way more stuff this year :D
Glad you liked them, thank you for your support!
Hey guys I know I didnt posted anything in a long time, but I had a good reason for it.
Now that I "can talk" about it (cant mention anything specific so please dont ask).
I am working with the team that is making the new expansion for age of empires :)
So the mod is not dead, is just on pause as I said several times. Once the official expansion is done, I will be able to go back at this.
Thank you for your patience and support, all of you have been super kind :)
So I am not dead for now, just busy into something that is bigger than this mod and will benefit a lot of age of empires fans.
Yes, that is a common issue explained in the instructions on the steam page.
Since the mod is not compatible with the forgotten you can play it but with some errors.
Dont copy the interface.drs and you will see the campaigns but not the new icons for the new units.
Also the archer will switch skins back and forth when is on iddle position or attack or walk.
Hope it helps :)
Yes! europeans are almost done, next will be asian, then arabic and finnaly meso american civs.
The goal is to give each building set his unit rooster, so I will probably make the slavs and italians from the forgotten too.
Mostly castles for each civ first, and then time will tell :)
Not yet, but it will on the future.
Is not dead.. is on pause.
Is summer season for me (I live on a turistic town so I work a lot when everybody have vacations and I have free time when everybody is working).
I will be back around april when the town become "ghost town" again :)
Las unidades que "estan de sobra" son para otro mod :)
Me olvide de incluir en la imagen los nuevos campesinos con armas asi que serian 7 clases de espadachines, 4 piqueros y 5 arqueros.
No, I didnt make any new eye candy besides the cliffs, the trees and bushes are from the vanilla HD "The forgotten" dlc.
The only "new" thing on this pic is the cliffs and the terrain, the rest come with the game. Also this screen is from one of the new campaigns, If my memory is correct i think it is Sforza the first scenario.
The mod that is available to donwload no, it was based on the vanilla HD version.
But the new version that I am making, the one that give each civ his graphics will be based on the Forgotten, so yes in a near future.
I forgot to mention that I am also giving them heraldry, like the 3 lions for upgraded units, or red cross for common units.
Kor bosch the creator of Age of Chivalry is helping a lot with the concept art and explanations.
The sword line and cavalry line will have the best looking units (concerning armor and decorations), and the rest will recive cheap looking armor or clothes.
This pattern is going to be repeated on most of the european civs.
Gracias! Igual tranquilo que el mod sigue, pero voy a abstenerme de postear mas cosas por ahora haber que pasa.

Thank you! But dont worry that the mod still is alive and well, I am just going to not post more material for now to see what happends.
But I will keep working on it.
I will keep working on the mod, I am just holding to post anything else for now.
So dont worry the mod is still alive and well, but working undercover if that makes sense.
Thank you everybody for your support :)
Mira, si lees mi post en el foro oficial te vas a dar cuenta que no soy un mal tipo, o que me creo el centro del universo como me dijeron en esa pagina de facebook.
El mod lo voy a seguir, lo unico que quizas no suba material sin terminar.
El tema del copy right no me importa mucho, me molesto la actitud que tuvieron y como mintieron y sobre todo el tema de las donaciones, si ni yo mismo pido dinero menos voy a permitir que otro tipo haga plata por algo que no hizo.

Look, if you read all my posts here or in steam or the aokheavens forums, you will realize that I am not a bad guy or that I believe that I am the "center of the universe" like those people on facebook called me, I am just a common guy like everyone else.
I am going to keep working on the mod, but Instead of releasing small betas to playtest I am going to save it till the mod is done to avoid this kind of problems.
Concerning the copy right thing, I am not mad about it, what it makes me angry is the attitude and the disrespect this people have, and If not even I ask for donations I will not allow that some random dude makes money for something that should be totally free.
He Is clearly lying, He posted a few times on the aok.heavens forums (the place that I ask for opinions and post concept art).
I tryed to contact him personally but he blocked my facebook so I cant reply to him.
Also I contacted the page where some images where hosted and they say than "I am an arrogant and not the center of the universe" and that I also have no right to complain about this.
Gah I wish more people could understand spanish, because I may need some backup, on Enkeli facebook, some people was asking for my personal facebook to insult me there.
Not yet.. I will left them for the end because I am not eager to model a bunch of halfnaked guys, and because I have no clue yet about what to do with them.
They used skin tight colored suits but like no armor. If you have any suggestions and concept art to base them, let me know, any help is apreciated :)
Hi there, first of all thanks a looooot for the honest feedback :)
The Aok progression doesnt make any sense. It was made that way to help the gameplay experience of people starting with bad looking units till they get a fully upgraded unit at the end to feel acomplished.
The mod is based on historical elements, and I am getting the help of a history teacher to base the units.
Take a look at this picture to show you an example of armor progression:
or for example look at this man at arms: Media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com
I am basing the units on concept art taken from the Osprey books.
Both lancers are just using a lance.
N.E Pikeman is using a spear and W.E pikeman is using a guisarme
N.E Halberdier is using a poleaxe and W.E Halberdier is using a long spear.
Also this units will have different attacks according their weapon instead of just stabbing.
Other thing is that the "swordman" units where always better equiped than the lancers, skirmishers, etc.
___________
But if more people feel that the low tier units should look worse let me know. I didnt render them yet so I still have time to change them.
Haha yeah, the first units where based mostly on fan art, and other games because I wanted to all of them to look "badass" but that doesnt work.
So I am reciving a lot of help from Kor (creator of Age of chivalry) concerning how the units should look.
And so far everything have been based on the Osprey books and other related medieval pics.
