::: 1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Obviouslly, you need to have "The Asian Dynasties - Trial Version" installed. You'll also need WinRar or a similar program to open this file.
--------------------------------
::: 2. INSTALLATION PROCESS
The content of "TAD Trial - Walker's Modpack.zip" should be extracted at your "Microsoft Games" folder, replacing your "The Asian Dynasties - Trial Version" subfolder. Unless you have stated otherwise, you can find it at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\". Note that the directory's name will be influenced by your Windows' language, as well as your HD's name. It might be at C:, at D:, at E: - you have a whole alphabet of options there! You won't find it at "A:" though, as that directory is restricted to Floppy Diskettes. But no matter what you do, it IS NOT at My Documents.
Note that the ZIP should be extracted at "Microsoft Games" and not at the subfolder "Age of Empires III - The Asian Dynasties Trial". And it will and should replace some files, namely techtreey.xml, stringtabley.xml and protoy.xml. If it doesn't, guess what? You have done it wrong.
You might want to backup your "The Asian Dynasties - Trial Version". It would've been smarter to not delete the Setup, but do as you wish.
Unless you screw it up big time, any other AoE3 version won't be affected at all.

::: 3. NEW FEATURES
-- Serows have been changed by Elephants. Inaccuracy is irrelevant; they're Elephants.
-- Every asian Mercenary and Outlaw unit is available at the Monastery/Saloon.
-- All Japanese Homecities that you create will already come with all cards unlocked.
-- Japan can now train and upgrade Sepoys and Ghurkas at the Barracks and Steppe Riders at the Stable. Those are the few non-japanese units with working tactics and full graphics that I managed to find. Note that they don't have sounds.
-- Japan has all it's Consulate options active, as there are no more HC Level Requirements. They are:
Isolationism
Portugal
Spain
Dutch
-- I've added an infinite tech at the Market which will grant you 1000 Exports instantly. Happy cheating!
