What the mod includes:
-New building & architectural set
-Brand new units
-Work on existing units
-New Portrait & icons
-New homecity cards
-New gameplay (such as; Janissaries're produced faster by aging up so you may focus on other units, Timarli Sipahi system as you need to build farm to have them and you can rise Cebelus, Turkmen Migration to produce settlers faster, new source as tax where you gather automatically from your lands to hire mercenaries, fortified walls to make game more challenging, looting coins when you attack to your enemy, etc.)
-Totally ''replacetexture'' bug free
Installation:
This mod requires a clean install of Age of Empires III: TAD with the latest patch (Patch 1.03).
It doesn't come with an installer and it unfortunately doesn't work with other big mods (although some mods are applying some part of my mod such as WoL, NE)
You simply need to paste the files to your orginal AoE III folder play it.
OR
You can use SPC Modloader and create a folder in your gaming folder such as; X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\The Ottoman Empire
However, new sound files should be in the original game folder as modloader doesn't read them from the mod folder.

As a modder myself of Crimean Khanate Realism mod for Total War Empire and Total War Napoleon, I remember working with the same hat models that you have on the Crimean Tatars. Splendid!
I did notice a couple of minor bugs:
1. Akinci description is actually fits the Deli Horseman and vice versa.
2. Also some units, not all just a few like Akinci, Deli, Tufekchi are missing Units texts/names. I made sure to install as instructed. Everything else works, just these couple things, which I think are just bugs.
Anyways, I was thinking to create my version of the Timurid faction that another mod The King's Return did very well but some of their units I'd like to have Crimean Tatar look and other imported new creations which I have from my Crimean Khanate Realism mod. In short, I'd really really love to learn how to mod Age of Empires 3. Any help would be appreciated. I'll send you a direct message and let's get started from there.
