Age of World Empires, or AOWE for short, is a DATA mod for Age of Empires 2 HD. This mod enables Eastern and Western civs have totally different generic unit skins. You can see lots of new unit skins from Eastern cavalry to Japanese Ashigaru pikeman. This mod brings us more visual diversity, enhances the game experience and makes the game more historically accurate.

Claim:
PLEASE DON�T use the new cavalry unit slps made by me to make your own mod. Because I�ve made great effort on making them.

I really wish that this mod become part of the official DLC, which can enable players to switch between the original game version and the version that supports unique unit skins for different civs. If members of official team see my mod, I hope you can consider about this idea.

Instructions:
AOWE works for the three DLCs. You need at least one of the three DLCs to run this mod. Since AOWE is a Data mod, you have to switch to this mod when you want to play it. Also, make sure this mod is on the highest priority.
1.Go to the Standard Game, above where you choose the maps, there is a �Data Set� option, change it to �Age of World Empires�, and start a new Standard Game.
2.If you want to play the Campaign mode, first START A NEW Standard Game with the Data Set option�Age of World Empires�. After you enter the game and see the TC, quit the game. After you quit, your main menu will switch to a background with �Age of World Empires� title on the upperleft. Then go to the Campaign Menu and play the campaign.
3.This AOWE version only supports the DLC campaigns. Age of Kings and Conqueror campaigns are not influenced.
4. If you want to play multiplayer mode with this mod, you need to make sure that all players have subscribed and turned on Age of World Empires mod, and make sure to select "Age of World Empires" when creating the game lobby.
