Sounds interesting, imo these Hidden Path guys didn't do anything valuable (really, the hd patch on voobly is pretty much the same as what they did except for some corn in the farms).

Well if it comes to content you may be right, but u have to consider it made AOE2 much more accessible. People don't like to hassle around with 3rd party software like Voobly to play a game. Also the widescreen patch was only for  free at Voobly when AOE2 HD was announced. Before u had to pay for it

And i guess nobody thought HD would be such success else the Hidden Path would have planned different

Oh I didn't know you had to pay for it before, sounds fair then.

Well, I for one must say I play Age of Empires series ardently. Its quite a silly thing to say that it will die simply on its own. Whenever I've gotten on in the past month, there has been about 20 games on at least for Asian Dynasties. However, what I would like to point out is that I have turned from being a proficient online player into a skilled modder.

Its not modding I really need help with, but in fact, I've made a Fan Patch based on Age Sanctuary 1.2, which covers a lot of the mid-game and lategame balance of the game, adds small spice and features into the game, but doesn't change the way the game is played. In this, I also include a vastly improved computer AI (Artificial Intelligence) for single player, which now 1) builds counters to your units, 2) Focuses on Ranged Infantry and Hand Cavalry more often, 3) Manages economy MUCH better, 4) Builds up to three layers of walls lategame and upgrades them, 5) effectively uses new techs, 6) supports you, 7) builds and properly upgrades warships, 8) Upgrades their capitol, 9) Builds a minimum amount of towers each age so that you cannot just pummel them over quickly. Usually, it takes me 1 hour to beat them on a 2v2, and sometimes they beat me - and I'm an ex-Leuitenant Colenel at No Rush and a ex-Captain at Supremacy.

Another note in this mod I've added a University-type building for the European civs, related to the one in Age of Empires II, using ingame art files, with over 60 historically based, tentative techs (about 35 available for each civ; many civilizations share techs, but no civilization has exactly the same tech tree at the Observatory Building).

This modification is for Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, including Warchiefs expansion, and of course, the vanilla game. It includes a Patch Launcher and a Manual Steam installation.
