The great thing about this mod is, it uses it own executable and its own resource files.

You can have PBEMs running in both this mod and the base game, with its 1.4 patch simultaneously, with absolutely no hassle or need to switch between them. The wrapper even treats them as separate games, just like it treats AoW1 and AoW2 as separate games.

Hellbrick did some great work with the modified executable; there's 37 bugfixes, and overall beneficial balance changes, in addition to the other changes he made. When you install it, you get his MPE 2.0 mod to play with, but it is easy to modify this using his editor program, or even paste over the 1.4patch resources and play with those in the slightly superior new engine.

If I can get some people playing this mod with me, it raises a further possibility, of us modding either from MPE 2.0's base state or from 1.4's base state. And this wouldn't cause any interruption to our current aow2 PBEMs. We could make all the useless units useful. We could add all sorts of neat thematic details. We could fiddle with wall HP (it's stupid how irrelevant walls become in big lategame fights in PBEM autocombat, compared to their sustained significance in tactical: we could fix that for Stone Walls) and make buildings more or less expensive. We could add entire new units with graphics cribbed from various places, including the old infinity engine RPGs like Planescape.

I bet none of you old fogeys are interested....

I am going to bump this thread as often as 24 hours!!!! Until at least three other people are in a PBEM, using the mod with me!!!!!

Southern: Making Ageofwonders Great Again.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, let me think about this.


















No.

Also, nice Planescape Torment spoilers, you dimwit!!!!

Oh gods you STILL haven't finished it? Revolting.

Neither have I. Luckily, I never click on random youtube links posted by my imaginary online friends. :)

Maybe I'll play it by 2020. Of course, given the games backlog, maybe I won't.

Horrible.

Of course I have, but some won't have!

[i] Cum iam appropinquasset ille terminus quem dominus Iesus cotidie suis demonstrat fidelibus, specialiter in euangelio dicens: "Si quis uult post me uenire, abneget semetipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me" facta est igitur motio ualida per uniuersas Galliarum regiones, ut si aliquis Deum studiose puroque corde et mente sequi desideraret, atque post ipsum crucem fideliter baiulare uellet, non pigritaretur Sancti Sepulchri uiam celerius arripere. Apostolicus namque Romanae sedis ultra montanas partes quantocius profectus est cum suis archiepiscopis, episcopis, abbatibus, et presbiteris, coepitque subtiliter sermocinari et predicare, dicens, ut si quis animam suam saluam facere uellet, non dubitaret humiliter uiam incipere Domini, ac si denariorum ei deesset copia, diuina ei satis daret misericordia. Ait namque domnus apostolicus 'Fratres, uos oportet multa pati pro nomine Christi, uidelicet miserias, paupertates, nuditates, persecutiones, egestates, infirmitates, fames, sites et alia huiusmodi, sicuti Dominus ait suis discipulis: "Oportet uos pati multa pro nomine meo", et: "Nolite erubescere loqui ante facies hominum; ego uero dabo uobis os et eloquium", ac deinceps: "Persequetur uos larga retributio". Cumque iam hic sermo paulatim per uniuersas regiones ac Galliarum patrias coepisset crebrescere, Franci audientes talia protinus in dextra crucem suere scapula, dicentes sese Christi unanimiter sequi uestigia, quibus de manu erant redempti tartarea. Iamiamque Galliae suis remotae sunt domibus.

I'm just going to shitpost here until my DEMANDS are met.
