However, development for a Steam version proper began in March 2017, with a Facebook post announcing that the Titans version was most likely going to be retired. However, it did not receive any updates or official release unto the Steam Workshop due to file size issues. Steam-wise, Expanded Mod was originally ported and posted on Moddb in December of 2015. By January 2015, the first public release of Improvement Mod was released.Įventually in mid-late 2015 for the release of v1.2b, Improvement Mod was renamed to Expanded Mod, due to the "lack of improvements, and the focus on too much expansion" as well as to separate it from the mod of the same name for Age of Empires III. Eventually within a couple of months, the Improvement Mod had a small issue of new technologies and units, mostly ported from Age of Empires. Note that some units present in this mod are taken from the Napoleonic Era or War of the Triple Alliance mods.Work on Improvement Mod was started on in December 2013, when XLightningStormL experienced issues with the AI from MasterFoozle's SPQR mod, and experimented with getting the AI to advance. ![]() Special thanks to everyone who helped me improve the mod over time, including but not limited to other modders, the community and the 3 guys who stood by my side (kangaroo rider, baguette lover and army guy).
