Many units that receive none through imperial upgrades did not change appearance for all stages. This fixes many of those European units as well as highlights some important card/tech upgrade specials. Be sure to check out Napoleonic Era website where Matthew Sher has done more awesome looking unit mods. Remove effects, shadows_selections and units folders from c:\program files\microsoft games\age of empires 3\art folder if they are there. Then, extract unit upgrades modpack files to your desktop and move the folders into c:\program files\Microsoft games\age of empires 3\art.

Just follow my signature link and you will find it.

That is a good idea paragon.

I did not do it before because I had all pictures on main screen so web page took too long to load.

i liked them, thx a lot.

BTW, i think that the tech tree could be redesigned with smaller icons

and a button for it, not on the options menu, but on the in-game menu,

also, rearanging the civs would also be great, like putting the major civs with one color and the minor civs on other...
 

Smaller icons would be too dramatic a change as I would have to remodel the entire thing. Besides, some of the overlaying text just barely fits as is, so I would not do this.

The reason that the tech tree is in options menu is because of compatibility reasons. For example, what if someone wants Ekanta's user interface or the default ES one, I cannot simply modify uimainnew.xml to include in menu or main screen, so this is the reason. If you have my enhanced hotkey editor installed, you may use f12 to bring it up. However, you can still bring up options menu whether in game or not, so it is still accessible everywhere, even though not as fast as you might like.

I could at least put the major civs in alphabetical order and then minor civs afterwards to make things a little more intuitive.

edit - I alphabetized the major and minor civs in that order now and reuploaded to my site.

thx a lot, again.

your random map loading screen mod is helping a lot, as i didn't get used to the asian/TWC maps yet

and the units mod is very cool too, i really liked the hussars and ruyters

You are most welcome.

About half of the unit mods were ones that ES did not include originally and the other half are ones that Matthew Sher AKA imperiosus designed himself. He is quite an artist and moved on to work on Napoleonic Era http://ne.elpea.net/forum/portal.php

I downloaded this modpack in HG sometime ago, It looks great!

I have the version of Oct. 06 and Is just awesome, improves almost all the game by look and realism, I just love the steel look for artillary and the big warships, and the new sails when go imperial.

This is incredible, I recommend you to download it!

For those who havent downloaded it yet, I mean.

Here is a picture of how new units look:
