Hi there,

After working on tooltips for the Voobly Balance Patches I realized that all the old tooltips were significantly flawed. Thus after completing a tooltip for Voobly Balance Patch 3.0 I set out to make a tooltip for no patch (Ensemble 1.03). This tooltip removes all the flaws the old tooltips had and added a bunch of info. On top of that I remade an old Excel file to include tons of new information and it has now become an integral part of the tooltip itself.

The default tooltip shows sentences like "effective against archers" or "improves hack damage".
But this remains very vague and you can't dissect what it precisely does.
With this mod those texts change into "+50% Damage VS Archers" or "+10% Hack Damage".

It's important to note that to fully understand the tooltip you must have read the Excel file as well. The Excel file is in a way the backbone of the tooltip. Even people who think they already fully understand this game and don't play with a tooltip might be interested in the excel file. Much of this game is unknown to most players, even high level players.

All the information found in the Excel file and the tooltip is backed by extensive research on the game's code and the game's mechanics. Since we do not have acces to the full code of AOT some parts remain funded by educated guesses. And I don't claim I haven't made some minor mistakes.

WARNING: Using this mod will change the language in which the game is played completely to English.
If you are using the enlarged font mod you will limit the amount of displayable characters in your "tooltip window". Expect to lose a big chunk of info with the enlarged font mod enabled.

You can find the Excel file in your mod folder.
Default path is : "...\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\Voobly Mods\AoMT\Local Mods\Enhanced Tooltips for AoT"
Reading the Excel file can be done using a couple of different softwares:
1. Excel itself.
2. [You must login to view link] -> this software will move some pictures around slightly distorting the layout.
3. [You must login to view link]
WPS Office and Libreoffice are free to download.

Happy reading
