For me, the mod hasn't worked worked for sme time : it remains stuck on the original buildings and units, whatever the civilizations. What manipulation could I do ?

But Saint_michaels if it is put into the WololoKingdoms system won't it make it useless on Steam?

Nevermind, the Copyright takedown is by Okmar himself. I still don't think it will go though since it's ultimately "created on my behalf", something I have said to him multiple times and he agreed to and I have declared publicly that the IA project is basically "CC-0". If it does get taken down, I guess I'll just re-upload the mod as is or modified if Okmar has done more than the independent stuff (crediting him and acknowledging his efforts post 5.7 of course). I don't characteristically do stuff like that, but honestly I have ran out of patience and subtly.

If it gets another copyright notice, well then I guess I'll just convert everything to the WololoKingdoms system. Because that's something with his brain literally rotting away wants to do...

I'm sorry, I know it's disappointing but I really can't get re-involved with IA or continue modding AoE2 anymore. My health is going downhill and my personal life is a complete mess. I just don't have the time or energy to change tens of thousands of values or to get involved in this drama. Sorry.

I don't think there is anything to worry about with the takedown anyways. Outside of the Custom Elite Cannon Galleon, which I personally asked permission to use, IA with Units by itself does not use any fan created assets. Unless it's (the entire IA Mod) claimed to be "stolen" from myself, which is clearly not the case.

I agree with Toon Link. To the rescue Saint_michaels. You maybe the ONLY hope for the mod to remain here. You are the master of IA. You gave us it. You can help Omkar. I know you can.

Saint_Michaels, they're going to take down the 5.8 mod, due to supposed "Copy Right Infringement"

Where can I find a IA with units w/o the dlc's?

Hello Saint-Michaels, first I say hello and I hope you are well, the second, I wanted to ask you if I can use this mod Independent with Units as a base to recreate a mod that I am forming that is from the page aok.heaven.com that is from the community hence, this mod is described by its creators and to complete it I need a basis to use it and I would like to ask you if I can use the mod, to add other models that were left out and asked the creator to add those models, I hope an answer, I'll leave the links:

A must for who love graphical personalizzation

The Goths are the "base" civilization for the North European architecture, so if you wanted the mod you linked to to apply to the Goths ALONE, you just make sure that mod is active and play with IA and it should only effect them.

A renewed question: is it possible to have IA, combined with IU and also buildable road? YuenHsiasoTieng also asked to add all the civ regions from the Wololo Kingdoms version. This is going to be very much appreciated. :-D

"I love this mod but i am haveing the trouble useing it I install it and I do the standard game it works the first time, I then shut down and launch the game the next day and try to do the standard game start up and the game crashes and I have to reinstall it. Is it me or is this an issue with the mod."

Same issue....

Why every single launch do I have to unsub and resub, if I don't ganme crashes?

Can you or anyone make this a IA mod?
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=718793743

patch 5.8 is in live mode. Will you upgrade this as well as primery version?

Do you can split every single civ also for IU?

Actually I wish this would get added as an official patch then everyone would be on this data set and anyone who didn't want to see the unique skins could just play with the original skins but still their datasets would be compatible with people on this mod. That would be perfect. How can we pressure to the devs to include this?

Is anyone playing with this dataset who wants to play multiplayer games??? Please add me on steam! I would LOVE to have IA and IU in multiplayer!

Hi, I found Portugese cannon galleon is incorrectly replaced by the mid-east flag on the ship and only on cannon galleon. I tried different mod combination and make sure it only happens while using IA mod, no matter whether using IU or not. Greatly appreciate if it can be fixed

Could you please add a version with the buildable roads? That would be great!

It's probably of no concern to you since you probably play multiplayer exclusively, but in campaigns and custom scenarios, gaia units always use the middle-eastern/African/Indian unit set. It's not a big deal, though it would be less offensive if they shared the original/European unit set.

I love this mod but i am haveing the trouble useing it I install it and I do the standard game it works the first time, I then shut down and launch the game the next day and try to do the standard game start up and the game crashes and I have to reinstall it. Is it me or is this an issue with the mod.

How do I get this to work in campaign? It's not showing up in the attila campaign

Hey there, the mod works perfectly thanks a lot but when i pause and safe the game Aoe always shuts down w/o any reason everytime i want to continue the safed game. how can that be?

Its very good BUT whe i start a game i dont have the texture pack i have installed

Can this be compiled with the "Buildable roads" mod? As was before, with the IA mod. ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221730870&searchtext=buildable+road )

are there any original dataset with units?

icons slp?

So I need this for units and the other IA for buildings? OR this works for both units and buildings? Sorry for the dumb question.

Shouldn't the Huns and Mongolians share the same group?

Soo, i used to use the IA (for buldings). If i use this one i will still havr the buildings support?

@Psychodelic Mind Join the party and provide feedback on the WIP version here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1361641906

any plans of release?

The Decay Animation for Hun Heavy Cavalry Archers and Dying Animation for Middle Eastern Two Handed Swordsmen were assigned incorect groups.

Wat KIND of bugs

Just more bug fixes.

Saint_Michaels. Which updates has been added may 9.?

At least! thank you so much!

@mayosrojas - I actually did experiment with Regional Dark Age buildings roughly a year back on IA. That never really took off though so I ended up removing it. If there is support and a will for it, I will consider re-adding it back in. As for Villagers, I know that is a popular request, but Villagers are, in simplistic terms, a complete nightmare to mod and get working properly in AoE2. Not saying that I won't do it, but really isn't that simple.

@redragons - You need to Pre-Load the mod first before opening saved games using IA. The mod also doesn't do any changes on it's own but rather serves as a template for other mods. However, such mods do not exist yet publicly.

@Psychodelic Mind - All I can say is soon. Maybe in a few weeks. Maybe.

@daniel14946 - Thanks daniel. I'm sure that, once the unit part takes off, people will really like it.

If I may make a general comment, thank you so much for IA, @Saint_Michaels_. Even if it only affects graphics, a large part of AOE2's charm is in its medieval setting and pixel artwork, this extends it all so much further, and despite issues in the regular .dat files you were the one to actually step up to the plate and get it done. I consider this my favorite mod for AOE2 now, and I just wanted to thank you it. (The custom unit version is also greatly appreciated as well, haha.) Kudos for you for being the master modder and tinkerer for the AOE2 community!

When you will release the unit pack?

When I had this mod I could not load saved games, even games with this data set. Also I did not notice the units. So unforunately I unsubscribed.
What was I doing wrong?

Thanks for answering :). I know probably isn't a priority right now, but, Do you think some day in future this mod could separate "dark age building sets"? There are a few ones which are very cool. And, how about villagers? Could you do something similar to monks, making different "peasants" for different "cultural blocks". It'll be great if we could see villagers with various skin tones, or hair colors, even with different outfits. Greetings!

There's a Spanish set that's missing as well as several castles. And on the subject of the work on adding the Japanese being worth doing, I'm taking advantage of you and your work 110% :)

@Basileus Arcadios - It is something I have thought about. I have an idea of applying the feature to the VMDL Cheat unit, changing him into a "Terrain Paint" unit. Grass, Dirt, Roads, Snow and so forth.

@YuenHsiaoTieng - Not sure what you mean though. Most of the Architecture Mods on Voobly should already be on the Workshop already outside of a few that I'm aware of, such as the Chinese Buildings in the unofficial Forgotten Empires Update, the Viking Buildings by I believe Dynast_IV and the old Khmer Buildings. Also Catbarf's old Byzantine Buildings, but that's due to request. Everything else from Voobly should be on the Workshop in some form.

@mayosrojas - Thanks. Again, the Japanese are on the top priority when I get around to expanding the Civilizations. It's hard hard to convince myself that it's worth doing it at the moment though, since there aren't any mods yet on the workshop using this feature. I am working on a unit pack for all three regions at the moment and I have gain permissions from a few high profile Civ 3 modders that has made some high quality units that I feel would fit into AoE2 pretty well, so I'll see how that goes. I might have something by the weekend, hopefully.

I still see architecture sets on Voobly that aren't here. Is anyone bringing them over?

As I said before you've done a great job. You've open the gates for a bunch of possibilties. Would you make please a "separate block" for japanese? I mean, there are already a lot of beautiful graphics for this civilization. And I think it's enough different to the other asian cultures to deserve its "own block". Thank you very much :)

@saint_michaels : the accepted rule we use in AoKH is that if someone hasn't been active in over a year, and hasn't replied to any solicitation then the files are free to be used with proper credits.

Please inform us the moment any unit replacement mods are avalible. This is going to be riverting!
