AOE3MODS Combination 2.01

Not sure how detailed you want the instructions but hare are some recommended steps:
1. Before downloading, create a folder under 'My Documents' called 'AOE3MODS'.
2. Come back here and choose the AOE3MODSV3.ZIP file for download. Select 'Save' and in the 'Save As' menu, select 'My Documents' and the folder 'AOE3MODS' that you created as the place to save. Then click 'Save'.
Note: Depending on the speed of your connection, it could take up to 1o minutes to download. If you have a fast broadband connection - it will take 60 to 90 seconds.
3. What you next depends on the O/S you are using, but assuming it is Windows XP, double click the ZIP file.
4. From the Edit menu, select 'Select All' - all 3 files should be highlighted.
5. From the Edit menu again, select 'Copy'.
6. Now go back to the AOE3MODS folder in 'My Documents' and click somewhere next to the ZIP file. Click the right mouse button and from the context menu, click ‘Paste’.
7. The files from inside the ZIP file should appear next to the ZIP file. If you now double click the AOE3MODSSHORTCUT.EXE to execute it. This will let you place a shortcut on you desktop and in the start menu. Alternatively, you can find your way to this folder and execute the AOE3MODS_V3.EXE file every time you want to change something.
8. When you execute either from a shortcut or the file directly, you will see a menu from where yon can select the various install or remove options.
MultiPlayer: As it stands, it has not been tested in multi-player mode. You will get a CRC error if you try it. It may work multi-player, if all players install the same mods.

can't what ?
Docks, Outpost (Blockhouses) and Forts could all hold civilian units in the standard game. These mods allow them to hold military units and in much larger numbers.[Edited on 08/29/06 @ 06:35 PM]

This mod sounds amazing - almost too good to be true! For right now though, it is... this is the message I recieve when attempting to install the mod:
DATA ERROR
Specified data path cannot be found!
I'm sure I followed the instructions concisely...
Please John Pember, you're my only hope! |

No problem. It is indicating that the path to your game is different to where it would normally be. When you run the installer, there is a 'change' button next to the 'Path to Microsoft AOE III user data files' - click that button and you can change the location to where you installed the AOE3 data files.
Usually, the data is placed under 'My Games' in a directory call 'Age of Empires 3' and 'My Games is found under 'My Documents'. |

Thanks John!
BUT
I am having prolems. Before I even installed your kick ass mod pack(which works great)AOE started having issues within five to ten minutes of gameplay.
It freezes and the audio loops... at first the audio went bonkers and played random snippets of sound effects and unit response, interspersed with white noise. Wish I had an analog recorder to capture some of the loops.... anyways, this is disheartning to say the least; I'm impatiently awaiting the abiiity to transport my troops in a horse drawn carriage!
