| Game Version: |
AoE3+TWC+TAD |
This work has been something that I have wanted to release here for quite a time, and now here it is!
It now includes a powerful AI that plays all Civs! Included also are new maps, in case you want that.
It works on LAN, but not fully functional on Online. Backup of general files included if you want to uninstall.
Fan Patch 1.3 gives you all the flairs of Age of Empires 4 but rather than adding new civilizations, it enhances their attributes and gives each civilization unique techs that they can upgrade.
New Buildings include Observatory, Tribal Council's Hut, Great Temple.
Based on historical research done by myself years back.
There is a general list of Patch Notes included in with the file; these are mostly correct and there are a few small things not mentioned in them.
This is my master creation.
I will release any new changes here made to this version of the added pack.
Changes from Previous Version & AI:
- AI Plays all civilizations and all game modes, especially NR30 and DM.
- Updated a fix in the AI to build Capitol always, and skip out on second Market I added previously.
- Updated Spanish AI not to use Spanish Square as in Treaty it prevented them getting enough Villagers.
- Made Tomahawks cost 1 population space (not 0); removed 100 Build limit to regular training.
- Made Aztec AI train more Jaguar Prowl Knights, less Coyote Runners.
- Chinese AI fixed training of Banner Armies; it no longer tries to build Light Infantry.

Note that if player invades an island, AI teammates will help, I've figured that's its a trigger based on scouting. If AI has a dock and knows about where to attack, it will invade other player's islands.

It will tell you that you've modified your game version and tell you that you can't play with other players online and such, with a manual steam install, but it is possible to play with both players having it installed LAN and online. If you want to have online compatibility, such that you can join with your friend on the Fan Patch, just skip out on the maps. And if you've copied them into your game earlier, just unpack 'Backup AOE3' and reinstall the original maps from RM3 to your game directory. You may have to delete some of the new maps such as Gold Rush or Korea or Shangri La if you've installed the maps before.
I've tested it with two computers online this way!
Be sure to find your rated game against opponents on the N3O Patch 1.3 Added Pack! Or battle against AI opponents with custom maps with high resources, or even with Treaty! |

It reverts many things back to the way they were in the original game, but keeps all the new content from the mod. Includes an effective Klaxon N3O AI opponent! |
