Im Spanish and nowhere in Spain this architecture can be found. Not close to medieval Spain at all. The original one is more accurate than this one. Look for "Aragonese architecture" if you want a mod that actually nails it.

Hei. Could you make a mod where the teutons got the italian architecture? And maybe also the hunnic wonder? I want to use the teutons as romans in a scenario

@Tiroler- Mod is not updated for 5.1. Looks like patch 5.2 is right around the corner.
Eyszapfen 7 Feb, 2017 @ 2:38pm 
It doesn't work for me (even with following your dubious installation instructions). Is it because of my game version? I've got 5.1a.1601679 I didn't get your last comment...

Good Sir, can you change the Spanish and Byzantines sails to fit with the Italian sails? with that, that would be perfect
ModPositive  [author] 12 Jan, 2017 @ 9:25pm 
All, an update- I have been holding off on the data mods for 5.0 because a new patch, as I suspected, would be right around the corner. Looks like 5.1 is coming, but it doesn't seem to fix data mod support for adding new graphics to the game. Data mods unfortunately do not work on different versions unless they are redone.

Yeah, or east asian
矢泽那珂 6 Jan, 2017 @ 6:05am 
Maybe Byzantine use the Eastern European architecture is better I think.
Billy Johannson Quincy 3 Jan, 2017 @ 2:09am 
When this mod is installed, are the sails from the ships from the mediterranean building sets replace the Spanish's Western European sails and the Byzantine's Middle Eastern sails on thier ships?
Antak 26 Dec, 2016 @ 5:43pm 
Hope this'll soon be back !
Maximus 25 Dec, 2016 @ 11:33am 
I hope it can be updated to be used again
Merethys 21 Dec, 2016 @ 9:32am 
Will this be updated for 5.0 now that datamods are finally supported again?
hydrogenmissle 3 Dec, 2016 @ 8:09pm 
This mod actually makes alot of sense
ordure bizarre 24 Sep, 2016 @ 4:41am 
CHEERS!
ModPositive  [author] 23 Sep, 2016 @ 10:39pm 
There is hope! Data mods will soon possibly be supported again! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/discussions/-1/350542145710205013/?appid=221380

You have my full support! We need this mod and I hope the devs fix the game soon.
A Servant 19 Mar, 2016 @ 4:38am 
please update this i love the byzantines but hate their architecture
ModPositive  [author] 19 Feb, 2016 @ 4:06pm 
@Laiseinjanfoutr - when the developers fix data mods... they still haven't fixed them
Laiseinjanfoutr 4 Feb, 2016 @ 6:41pm 
When does this amazing mod will be updated ???
ordure bizarre 25 Nov, 2015 @ 9:48am 
@Imperator Justinian The Portuguese already have this architecture set
Grand Historian 25 Nov, 2015 @ 9:01am 
Great to hear! If they do fix the data files (and I'm assuming that's what keeping this from working) do you think you can also extend this mod to cover the Portuguese?
ModPositive  [author] 11 Nov, 2015 @ 7:24pm 
Hey all, I've requested the developers fix data file mods: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/221380/discussions/0/496881136902074713/

Please show your support in that thread so hopefully data file mods can be fixed for the future!
Stevie Wonder 10 Nov, 2015 @ 4:45pm 
Doesn't seem to work with the latest patches and African expansion.

It would be fantastic if this could be fixed. Its a great idea of a mod
PerruPls 10 Nov, 2015 @ 10:09am 
Will this be updated? :C

It's realy a pity the devs won't just implement this change already.. both the Spanish and Byzantines were Mediterranean civilizations, they have nothing to do with Middle East or Northen EU styles..
gartxo 10 Nov, 2015 @ 1:55am 
Yeah, it's a pity. I really miss mediterranean architecture for these two races.... I hope this mod can be brought to life again soon
Aristoxenus 9 Nov, 2015 @ 8:47pm 
Why it doesnt work?
argos.odisseo 8 Nov, 2015 @ 3:04am 
It´s a pitty this mod can´t worck. Spanish and Byzantines loock better with this classical-renacentist architecture. I keep the faith.
ordure bizarre 6 Nov, 2015 @ 7:28pm 
@Teoma The Naraotor, did you even read one comment here?
Teoma The Naraotor 6 Nov, 2015 @ 6:30pm 
Is this mod work ? I saw many comment who said otherwise ????
ordure bizarre 6 Nov, 2015 @ 12:48pm 
@Zevlag Yes, that's a very cool thing! But I asked Cysion already and he told me they're not going to change the civs, so most likely no med architecture for Spain and or Byzantium
Zevlag 6 Nov, 2015 @ 10:04am 
It still doesn't work even with the new expansion. Perhaps in a future patch. The good new is that the southern european feudal architecture made by known is now official.
argos.odisseo 6 Nov, 2015 @ 7:32am 
Could it work with new African Kingdoms expansion? Thanks!
ordure bizarre 3 Nov, 2015 @ 6:03pm 
@known2own4sho Hi! I added you a while ago but you didn't accept, if you got time, I'd like to ask you some stuff about the architecture set editing since I can't find any tutorials on Google, AoKheavengames and so on, maybe I'm just blind but I don't know how I can start such a mod on my own. Maybe you find some time to answer me these questions? :o) Cya
ModPositive  [author] 18 Oct, 2015 @ 3:50pm 
According to Cysion, a dev:

"...due to the way the game is built atm, I hope we can get the dataset mods fixed instead so people can make a mod..."

Zevlag 16 Oct, 2015 @ 6:22pm 
There's an editor for this game called Advanced Genie Editor. Using it, you can manually change the architectural styles as well as the units. It isn't as comfortable as clicking Subscribe, but it works.
ModPositive  [author] 14 Aug, 2015 @ 8:47pm 
The developers still do not support .dat file modifications as per patch 4.3.
Dan 14 Aug, 2015 @ 6:49pm 
Is there any progress on updating this for the latest patches?
ModPositive  [author] 20 Jun, 2015 @ 3:48pm 
Hey guys- I'll see what I can do. Currently I am not sure if patch 4.0 supports data mods...
joel15cat 20 Jun, 2015 @ 12:34pm 
Doesn't work with the new patch, "remake" the mod please!
Miandrel 20 Jun, 2015 @ 2:19am 
Its not working since the last Update anyone got the same problem?
Zevlag 10 Jun, 2015 @ 1:25am 
Great work! The Spanish traditional architecture is mediterranean, not british, so the italian architecture fits much better for the Spanish.
ordure bizarre 15 Apr, 2015 @ 2:31pm 
Still working, still looking so good! Many, many thanks!
ModPositive  [author] 3 Dec, 2014 @ 10:24pm 
If the above installation steps don't work, navigate to your Steam AoE2HD mods directory:
\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD\mods

Then verify that the "Byzantines & Spanish with Italian Architecture [AoF]" file exists. If not, there was a download problem and you will need to unsubscribe and subscribe again.

If you see the mod file but it did not install, you can manually install the mod by first opening it with your favorite archiving program (i.e. WinRAR, WinZip, etc.). Open the "Data" folder you now see, and extract "empires2_x2_p1.dat" to your AoE2HD Data folder:
\Steam\SteamApps\common\Age2HD\Data

Then launch the game and see if it works!
argos.odisseo 3 Dec, 2014 @ 4:15pm 
It doen`t work. t worked last week but not now. I´ve unsucribed and suscribed again, but it doesn´t work
Dan 30 Nov, 2014 @ 2:12pm 
Fantastic work! The Islamic architecture on the Byzantines always bothered me, even years ago when I first started playing. Makes one of my favorite civs 100% better.
Dan 30 Nov, 2014 @ 7:25am 
actually no, the byzantines belong to the eastern architecture but th only thing that bothered me is the temple/church looked exactly like a mosque they should have changed that into a real orthodox church with a dome. = )
PotatoSalad 12 Nov, 2014 @ 1:05pm 
Both are working for me?
ordure bizarre 2 Nov, 2014 @ 5:59am 
Yes, thank you for reply, forgot that I wrote here. Completely delete the modpacks and re sub did the trick.
