Description
AOE3MODS Combination 1

This mod pack now combines both standard game mods and the expansion pack mods in one package.

Due to size and to make things more manageable, some of the scenarios have been removed and are now available as Scenario Packs. Look in the Single Player Download section for AOE3MODS Scenario Packs.

Since the last release of either version, the following changes have been made:

- Modified the look of the US troopers, to make them closer to the real thing.

These modifications have not been tested in mult-player games but the inclusion of an installer will make switching between the standard game and a moded game easy, for those who regularly play multi-player. The installer will backup all files to be modified and copy the changed files to the correct locations. The original files can be replaced by clicking the remove button.
