[IA] Briton Architecture for Independent Mod

Description
/!\ Using the [IA] Frank Architecture for Independent Mod with this one will improve the separation between Franks & Britons
=> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1672499879

NOTICE! This is a mod for the "Independent Architecture" DAT mod. This mod does nothing for AoE2 itself. You need the "Independent Architecture" DAT mod to see an effect. Make sure this mod has a higher priority than Independent Architecture as well.

HOW TO USE :

1) Subscribe to Saint_Michaels' or Omkar Independent Architecture
2) Subscribe to this mod
3) In your mod manager, put [IA] Briton Architecture for Independent Mod with highest priority, then followed by Independent Architecture mod
4) When in the lobby, in the game version selection, select Independent Architecture dataset

This mod is compatible with other graphic mods that use Independent Architecture.

CREDITS :

FEUDAL AGE => This is a simple recoloration I made of the classic brown straw roof to get black thatch, in order to suit the Castle Age blacks roofs.

CASTLE AGE => Almost everybody knows those black roofs now I guess. I didn't create it, Dynasty IV seems to be the creator, featured in the Unofficial Forgotten Empires Mod v3.3. My only work here is the monastery (which I'm absolutely proud of ^^ So please give credits if used). I'll made a new castle by myself in a future update, cause it's still the original one.

IMPERIAL AGE => Original West European Imperial Set

Walls and gate are still from the original set.

The Independent Architecture Mod was originally created by Saint_Michaels and Omkar pursue his task.

Thank you so much for this creation. It is perfect architecture set! I want a lot of time for western black roof church with size 3x3 tiles which is there! :)

Also, I'm french and I live and grew up in Paris suburb (not so far from the Chartres Cathedral which is the frank wonder by the way ^^), but I used to live in the south of France, and went very often in Bretagne on holiday where I have family and friends, and I can tell you that black roofs are pretty much a North architecture, I don't think as you say that this is more common to have black roofs in France than in England, because in the south of France, it's roman architecture, you will never find an architecture like this mod in Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille or Nice, it's too hot in summer to have black roofs ! XD

@ecl-inc, simple : Because black thatch roofs existed and still exist in small villages in England (you can find it on Google). On a gameplay point of view, to make some uniformity : the black roof mod for castle age already exists, I didn't created it, and I think for many people it was used for Britons because of the wonder black roofs (the french one is more brownish). Of course those kind of roofs exists in France too, but maybe more in Bretagne (in fact the Little Britanny). And of course, there is also brown roofs in England, but the point is making two distinguishable sets. And as I say, to me, the decision of making black roof for Britons and brown roofs for Franks is about matching the wonder hue.

This is very well done. My only question would be: why? Why do this, why do the Britons get black thatch roofs? What even is that? And why do the Britons (Presumably being Saxon -or- Medieval England) get black slate-tile roofing, and not the Franks, when it's comparitivly a lot more common for them? Not complaining, just wondering, each to their own I guess.
But good work anyways.

@Klaus Moeller : it's not that it's necessary, but if you want to have Britons and Franks completely separated, it is suggested to make both mods works (If not, Franks will still have the same Imperial roofs as Britons). But it's not an obligation, you can skip it if you want.

why does it needs the Imperial Brown Roofs for West European Set mod?. don't you mean Saint_Michaels' or Omkar Independent Architecture mods?
Redkirby  [author] 2 Mar, 2019 @ 2:33am 
@mrk_ck : Instead it's the biggest challenge ! But for Briton, I think they have to keep the original walls. If I have to make news walls, it would be more for Franks than Britons.

@Felik : Will I make Japan ? No there is enough set in the Steam Workshop for Japan. Besides I personally use the original set for them.

@Dragon Heart : Probably, as soon as I've finished this one (I still have to make a Castle)

This is cool. Do you think you can make a non-IA one? :)

I love it
