Pro Mod

Know your units. Play better.


My mod replaces 100% of the units, buildings and technologies descriptions by something WAY less cheesy.
Now available in the box descriptions:

- Creation time
- Speed
- Attack rate
- Line of sight
- Corrected text descriptions if needed
- ...And much more!

Used by 2k+ players such as Tulkas_ (1v1) or PleaseBeGentle_ (TG).

SEE SCREENSHOTS AFTER THE FAQ ;flowers

Advanced Genie Editor, Resource Hacker and data from testing/expert players have been used to fill in the descriptions. Thus, the figures are assured to be as right as the word means.
The mod has been throughoutly tested during the 40 days of development, issues should be inexistant to minimal. If you happen to find one, first thank you, then post it in the comments. :P

Q: Is the mod is working in online multiplayer with people who don't have it?
A: Of course yes! The mod is based on language files, thus you can play online with it as easily as you would play with people using a different game language.

Q: What means the bold text between brackets?
A: It means "fully upgraded", for example on the Knight you can see "Speed: 1.35 (1.49)": his speed is 1.49 with Husbandry! When there is no civilization mentioned in brackets, it means the unit profits from a technology common to ALL civilisations.

Q: Do the creation times of units displayed are with our without Conscription?
A: Without, unless mentioned otherwise.

Q: Why the creation times for Aztecs only appear for Monks?

I've instead made them as compact as possible. Indeed Aztecs get a 17.6% for all military units, not only monks!

Q: Will it put my game in English if I use a different game language?
A: Yes it will. Obviously it will return to your original game language as long as you disable the mod in the "Mod" tab of the game lobby, by simply unticking "Pro Mod". Note it won't modify the language of the "History" section of the game.
