hi this is a mod made up of stripped down version of many other mods. all combined together to make one super mod, iv seen many people talk about how much they would like a combined mod of all the best ideas,and a few people said it could not be done, well iv done it and it works a treat. ill like to thank the people who first made some of these mods and hope they didn't mind me stripping them to bits to make this one super mod.
This is the complete list of changes that are in this mod
1/ new look control panel (GUI) adds extra icons for faster commands.
2/ added the patrol icon and command.
3/ added the guard mode icon and command.
4/ added the zoom in /out to infinity command
5/ added the rotate building while placing command.
6/ added the drummer and flag barer to the barracks.
7/ outpost build limit is now 20 instead of 7
8/ outposts are stronger can now see further and can shoot further but cost a little more.
9/ all civs now have a 40 card deck
10/ settlers now cost 0 population they still cost 100 food but you can build 99 for no pop count.
11/ settlers can now see further they won’t just stand around doing nothing after finishing that last deer, but will go to the next heard within range.
12/ infantry can now see further but shooting range is still the same. all civs.
13/ artillery can now see a lot further and shoot further this applies to all civs.
14/ fences and walls are a lot stronger, great if you like to turtle.
15/ all ranged infantry automatically stand ground while shooting.
16/ all artillery from all civs now cost half in pop than they did, so in affect you now can have twice as much.
17/ new attack sound has been added it’s a lot quieter .
please make sure that you uncheck the minimize
ui box under your aoe3 game settings before starting a new game with this mod.the new control panel will automaticly minimize when the game starts.not doing this will result in corrupt images
these changes in effect will give you an approx population limit of between 350-400.
Remember settlers cost no pop and all civs arty cost half as much pop.
With all these changes it is better to play this mod on the large to very big 10x maps.
Ill be including these maps with this mod.

PS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE THE MINIMIZE UI OPTION
UNCHECKED IN YOUR AOE3 GAME OPTIONS BEFORE PLAYING THIS MOD, OR THE NEW FEATURES WILL NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY.

centeurie, Just wanted to compliment you on your combined mod file. It works beautifully. The only problem I'm having is that I can't get the buildings to rotate. FYI I have a G5 iMac with vanilla AOE III and TAD no TWC (yet). Don't know if that would make a difference. Also, although I love the zoom feature, it seems to be overkill. But the best part is the improved graphics in TAD. thanks for your effort, the game is definitely better for it. Doc Norman

PLAYABILITY WAS GOOD... I LIKED THE BUILDING ROTATE THING AND ALL THE OTHERS PACKED IN ONE MOD.
CREATIVITY WAS BAD AS U TOOK OTHER'S IDEAS BUT CONSIDERING U CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF COMBINING ALL OF THEM TO ONE MOD I THINK U DESERVE A 2.
