Age of Empires II: The Conquerors - Age of Stainless Steel v.1.15 - Game mod - Download

Age of Stainless Steel is a mod for Age of Empires II: The Conquerors , created by Emperor_Sid.

Description (in author’s own words):

This mod is a effort to make Age of Empire 2: The Conquerors a historical battles game. After studying hundreds of battles, I've made unit stats to be able to make battle outcome like in a real situation (between the boundaries of the game). Inspired by other games, I'm trying to reinvent this old game and enter some new mechanics on it. Some of these mechanics are as below:

1) There are 3 types of population:

The house population (vanilla population), used for villagers, siege equipment, ships and unique units.

Soldier population, the population used to train common soldiers. It is increased by recruiting villagers or by building camps (soldier camps/caravan camp)

Knight population. The population used to promote knights, it can be increased by building castles or towers.

2) The Blacksmith has been remastered. Before being able to research new unit upgrades, you need to research their armor. The only unit that are not dependent on the Blacksmith are the unique units and siege equipment. The total Blacksmith research are 27 (historical based armor) compare to 15 in the vanilla.

3) The units are slower and has less LOS, their rate of fire is based on real weapon reloading time, like bow, crossbow, hand cannon etc. On the other hand, ships are more powerful but will cost more and can train less (about 4 times less than normal). The unique units now are train in Noble Tent (it will be build by deleting Noble Caravan Camp), and will cost only gold.

4) The total number of unit types has been increased from 24 land soldiers to 44 land soldier (not including unique units) and the tech tree made in that way that every unit will not change the weapon they use, like jumping from bow to crossbow, spear to pike etc. The same is with the naval units, they have been increased by 4 warships, but the 2 demolition ships has been taken out. Researching the unit upgrade will not turn your current units into the upgraded one, but will just allow you to recruit the new types.

5) New way to collect resource. Not just farms, but you can now pay to have pastures for sheep and later cattle. In the other hand, Town Center is more important because there are no lumber camp or mines. This make harder to collect villager in late games, but don't worry there is a new type a villager, a villager with cart.

There are more other changes that you can figure them out playing.
