Units

DESCRIPTION

I wanted to try my hand at modding AOW4 so I made some vanilla styled units for each of the different culture types. I hope you enjoy, any and all feedback is appreciated.

 

The AI does build and use these units in combat.

 

I will balance and add more units according to the feedback received.
