(for DarthMod, A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita, Imperial Splendor and vanilla standard ETW)
(I keep this first post always up to date)
My mod adds 30 new custom units and 12 new custom ships to ETW. I know that not all are 100% historical. There are other 45 units from "vanilla standard ETW" which can now be recruited by other factions too.
I made AUM for my personal fun. I decided to release and share it with you.
BACKUP your campaign save games before you try out any mods.
These are the units in English / German and size of the units for the normal vanilla standard ETW version or the large Darthmod Commander version:
NEW CUSTOM INFANTRY AND CAVALRY UNITS:
(Don't give them grenades as it would come to CTD if they throw grenades mounted.)
The "Giants" are disabled in the "A Proper Empire" version because this unit is already included by L33tl4m3r.
NEW CUSTOM ARTILLERY UNIT:
NEW CUSTOM SHIPS:
> All textures are from vanilla standard ETW. I improved the firepower, hull strength, accurancy, reload-times and morale of the ships.
> I added more "Marines" and "Seaman" to all ships for boarding actions.
> This comes at the cost of speed, prize and all custom ships are limited.
> Unfortunately it isn't possible at the moment to add more guns to the ship models, but I did change the gun-types in the related "slots" of the ships.
45 ALREADY INCLUDED UNITS WHICH CAN NOW BE RECRUITED BY MORE FACTIONS:
INFANTRY + CAVALRY UNITS
ARTILLERY UNITS
SHIPS
Screenshots of the campaign map and custom battle screen
This are screenshots of my late campaign with Great Britain and all available buildings have been built. (all from AUM 2.0)
Here is the original thread "UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE"
Information about the included textures
- All models, textures, campaign card icons and info card pictures are „vanilla standard ETW“ if not other mentioned.
REMO, SPANKY, HELLFELL and HRIMFAR made new textures for several units.
> "aum_mod***.pack" includes 8 new textures for my custom units
> "patch_aum_graphics.pack" includes 8 new re-textures for "Line Infantry" units
Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically. It is fully optional and AUM works without as well. It changes only the textures of the included "vanilla standard ETW" files.
> REMO made four new textures for my custom units: "Prussian Giants Grenadiers" + "Royal Janissary Guards" + "Engineers" + "Light Cavalry Sharpshooters". He made ight new "Line Infantry" textures for Austria, Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, United Provinces and the United States too. (+ musician and drummer of Russia)
SPANKY made ten new "Militia" textures for the following major factions: Austria, Britain, Denmark, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, United Provinces, United States and a new generic texture for the remaining factions based on faction colors.
> HELLFELL made four new textures for my custom units: "Tsar Guards" + "East European Infantry Mercenaries" + "Don Cossacks Cavalry" + "Fusiliers"
The new textures from him are shown above in the unit descriptions.
> HRIMFAR made one new "Line Infantry" texture for Sweden.
Huge +rep to this fine men!
Here are pictures of the new textures by REMO:
Here is the picture of the new texture by HRIMFAR:
Swedish Line Infantry (will be included in the next "patch_aum_graphics.pack" release)
PREVIEW of the "Proper Militia Mod 1.0" by SPANKY (will be included in the next AUM 2.2 "patch_aum_graphics.pack")
Here are preview pictures taken from "Proper Militia Mod 1.0":
The flags are all from his "Realistic Flag Set 1.2"
Original quotation from SPANKY:
Note how the animations for militia are different from the line infantry: They stand around, fairly undisciplined, shift their muskets around and wait for something to happen. Then when they get their orders, they carry their muskets very casually. It serves to further differentiate them from the drilled linemen. This is something that the engine does automatically. It simply transfers the militia animations to the new model.
Austrian Militia
British Militia
French Militia
Prussian Militia
United Provinces Militia
United States Militia
Portuguese Militia
Recruitment requirements of the custom units and ships
- Not every faction has access to all units in all regions so far. In the campaign mode you have to reach a certain building level and/or acquire a certain technology to recruit an unit.
INFANTRY and CAVALRY recruitment
- All custom units are recruitable in the following buildings: (if not noticed other)
drill_school, military_academy, army_board, army_staff_college
- These buildings are the ultimate military barracks for France, Prussia, Poland and India. The other factions don't have an ultimate military building.

MARINES recruitment
Changed the recruitment of the "Marines" that they can only be recruited at coastal shores globally:

Examples:
> 1. Example: „Swiss Pikemen + Jaegers + Guards“ aren’t available in America or India. You can build them only in Europe and not every faction has access to them. They are available at the start of a new campaign.
> 2. Example: “Marines” are only available for factions near the ocean and who where historically a naval power. The Marines aren't available for Austria. Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain or the United Provinces can build them. They are available at the beginning of a campaign but you need the special "naval" buildings.
> 3. Example: „Line Infantry Elite“ are globally enabled and all major European factions can recruit them. They need the late technology "military_army_machined_rifling" to be recruitable.
> 4. Example: „Royal Mameluks Guards" are only recruitable in Europe and the Middle East. They are only available for the Ottomans.They need the early technology "military_army_wedge_formation" to be recruitable.
> 5. Example: „Prussian Giants Grenadiers" are only recruitable in the home-regions of Prussia.They are only available for the Prussians. They need the technology "military_army_fire_by_rank" to be recruitable. They have a limit of three units and can only be built in the latest military barracks and the ultimate army building of Prussia.
> 6. Example: „War Galleon" is available globally and all major European factions can build them. The "War Galleon" doesn't need any technology to be buildable. There is a limit of eight "War Galleons" and they can only be built in the three latest naval docks.
> 7. Example: „1st Rate HMS Royal Sovereign" is only available for Great Britain in thei the home-regions of Britain. The "HMS Royal Sovereign" does need the technology "navy_improved_coppering" to be buildable. There is a limit of one unit and the "HMS Royal Sovereign" can only be built in the latest "steam_drydock".
How to see which building is needed to recruit an unit:
- click on the tech research button
- go for military and click at the military buildings with a right click.
- there you will see which units will be available with which buildings.
- All units are limited because of the balance in the campaign mode. You can recruit more elite units than in vanilla, where most of them are limited to one or two by faction.
- All grenades are removed from the Grenadiers. If it’s possible to mod the amount of grenades, then I'll add it back.
- removed the „fire_and_advance“ and „platoon_fire_grouped“ drills from all custom units. (the later ability "improved_platoon_fire_grouped" is still available)
The new patch didn't improve this two firing drills and the AI behavior is much better without.
- removed "fire_volley" and replaced it with "mass_fire".
Installation
- You can play AUM with several other mods available.
- aum_mod.pack is the "standalone" version for playing "vanilla standard ETW 1.2" or all other mods than the three major mods below.
- aum_mod_dm.pack is fully compatible with “DarthMod 1.9"
- aum_mod_is.pack is fully compatible with “Imperial Splendor 1.0781"
- aum_mod_proper.pack is fully compatible with “A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita 1.0.1"
- patch_aum_graphics.pack is the graphic pack for ALL versions which includes optional graphics by REMO. Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically like your language file. It is fully optional and AUM works without as well.
- The stats for each version are based on the corresponding "major mod". The "standalone" version is based on the "vanilla standard ETW" stats. (unit size, stats, recruitment and upkeep costs)
1. Download your prefered version of AUM (aum_mod_***.pack) below in the post.
The other four files are containing the “localisation.loc” which is available in two language versions. In this files are the unit names and descriptions included.
2. Download the “patch_aum_en_loc.zip” for an English version.
Download the “patch_aum_ge_loc.zip” for a German version.
Download the “patch_aum_en_loc_ape_ti.zip” for an English version of "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" (this language file is required to enable all new units from AUM and APE:TI)
Important note if you use the "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version of AUM:
If you use "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" be sure to download the "patch_aum_en_loc_ape_ti.zip” and load AUM at the bottom of the "Mod Manager" or put it at the end of the "script" file. AUM has to be loaded after APE.
You have to delete the "AProperEmpireTerraIncognita-Localisation.pack" in your ETW data directory, because there can't be two language packs at the same time. If you downloaded an earlier version of AUM:APE, then you have to delete the old "patch_aum_en_loc_proper.pack" too.
The "Giants" are disabled in the "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version because this unit is already included by L33tl4m3r
If you want to use AUM with other "UNIT PACKS" please read this:
It is important that you only use one language file at the same time. Be sure that no other language packs from other mods are loaded. The "Lordz-Map Pack" has an integrated language file and does conflict AUM.
3. Unzip the the files using a program such as WinRar or WinZIP
4. Copy the „aum_mod***.pack“ + “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack” + "patch_aum_graphics.pack" to your ETW „data“ directory.
The graphics pack is fully optional.
You could also directly unzip the file into the ETW “data” directory.
5. Use the "Mod Manager" from „LtChambers“ to activate the "aum_mod***"
or you can add one line below to the end of your "user.empire_script.txt"
mod aum_mod.pack; for "standalone vanilla standard ETW" version
mod aum_mod_dm.pack; for "Darthmod" version
mod aum_mod_is.pack; for "Imperial Splendor" version
mod aum_mod_proper.pack; for "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version
The location for the script is:
XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
VISTA C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
The language and the graphic pack file don't need to be activated with the “Mod Manager” or added to the user script. They are in a “patch” format which is loaded automatically.
If you want to try other mods you can rename the downloaded language file to "patch_aum_en_loc****.pack_disabled" in your ETW "data" directory and then it isn't loaded automatically.
For people having problems with the mod manager:
Make sure if you're using multiple mods, that the ones that aren't checked are moved to the bottom of the queue. Otherwise the manager attempts to load them and any mod placed after them doesn't get loaded.
>>> now you can start Empire and play
Go to the "custom battle" screen to check if AUM loads correctly and shows the unit names.
- The file “aum_mod***.pack” does not change, replace or delete any „vanilla standard ETW“ or other mod-files.
- All tables are just added with the prefix „aum_“ and no records are overwritten.
- The file “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“ does replace the “localisation.loc” to display the unit names and descriptions.
Deinstallation of AUM and the language file
Read this if you have problems to see the unit names and descriptions
If you have another mod which replaces the “localisation.loc”, then you have several options: (but before... BACKUP now the file you want to edit)
1. Disable the other mod and use only the files of AUM:
The new units of AUM are available and you can see the unit names and descriptions.
2. Don't use the “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“ from AUM:
The new units from AUM are available, but the names aren't visible. The other mod works fine and adds his own unit names to the game.
3. Export, import and merge both files. This is by far the most complicated way to do, because until now it isn't possible to simply add new lines into the language file without importing the whole file.
- open the “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc” and on the right side does appear the content in a table with three columns
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to a new folder.
You can call it: “aum_loc.tsv”
- open your other mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to the same folder as above. You can call it: “name_ of_ mod_loc.tsv”
- open the “aum_loc.tsv” and go to the end of the file. Then copy all AUM entries.
- open the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” and paste it under the existing rows. Don't overwrite the other entries and don't change the spacings in this file.
- save the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv”
- now copy your downloaded “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack" and rename it for example to "patch_aum_**_loc_NEW.pack" (you can call this file how you want, but it is important that you use the prefix "patch_****")
- open the new created “patch_aum_**_loc_NEW.pack“ mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Import TSV” and add “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” to the pack file. Then save and copy the new created pack file to your ETW “data” directory.
After this whole process you can see the unit names from both mods.
FAQ
Because a lot of people asked me how they can "add / change / remove" something in AUM, I've created here a little FAQ for you all. Please create a backup before you edit the "pack file" in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it. All changes made to AUM are on your own risk.
Link to the "Pack File Manager 1.11b" by Alpaca.
How to add "grenades" back to Grenadiers:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "Pack File Manager" from LtChambers.
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_stats_land_tables/aum_units_stats_land". Scroll to the right until you see a column called "Can throw grenades". There you can change "false" to "true". After that save the pack-file.
How to change the limit of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "units_tables/aum_units". Scroll to the right until you see a column called "Unit Limit" (16th). There you can change the "1" or "2" to "10". If you change this to "0", then you have unlimited units. After that save the pack-file.
How to remove the required technology of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_required_technology_junctions_tables/aum_unit_required_technology_junction".
There you can delete the entry for your unit. Then the unit doesn't require the technology anymore. After that save the pack-file.
How to add an unit to a group of factions:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/aum_units_to_groupings_military_permissions"
Then add a new row with the button. Edit the two new columns like this:
1. column = euro_marines_elite / 2. column = austria_group
After that save the pack-file and the Austrian faction groups can recruit "Marines" too.
How to add an unit to a specific faction:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions/aum_units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions"
Then add a new row with the button. Edit the three new columns like this:
1. column = euro_elite_light_infantry_windbuchse_jagers / 2. column = prussia / 3. column = true
After that save the pack-file and the Prussians can recruit the "Windbüchse Jaegers" from Austria in the "austria_home_regions" too.
How to remove an unit from game:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/aum_units_to_groupings_military_permissions"
for example: spain_conquistadores_cavalry
Search the unit and delete the whole row.
After that save the pack-file and the "Spanish Conquistadores" are removed from game.
How to change the "recruitment region" of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "units_tables/aum_units". Scroll to the right until you see the eight column called "Region IDRef". There you can change the region to "global, europe, middle_east" and others. After that save the pack-file.
How to change the "melee weapon" from "sword" to "bayonet":
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"

- change the "Warscape equipment theme" from "x_euro_musket_sabre" to "x_euro_musket"
- change the "Melee weapon" from "sword" to "plug_bayonet"
- from the column "Melee weapon" go five columns to the right where the column is called "unknown" and change there "foot_sword" to "foot_bayonet"
After that save the pack-file and the unit uses the bayonet instead of a sword.
How to change the "model/texture" of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_stats_land_tables/aum_units_stats_land". Scroll to the column nr. 8 which is called "model". There you can change the existing models for every unit. Be sure that you change it to an already included model otherwise you get CTDs. After that save the pack-file.
How to add "rank_fire" to an unit or remove "platoon_fire":
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"unit_to_unit_abilities_junction_tables/aum_unit_to_unit_abilities_junction"
There you can see which unit has which abilities. Several units have "rank_fire" already activated.
> add a new row with the button. Edit the two columns like this:
1. column = UNIT_ID / 2. column = rank_fire
If an unit can use "platoon_fire_grouped" and/or "improved_platoon_fire_grouped", then the unit will use this two firing drills instead of "rank_fire".
If you want to be sure that your unit only uses "rank_fire", then you have to delete all rows where the firing drill "platoon..." and "improved_platoon..." are related to this unit. After that save the pack-file.
How to change the name of an unit:
Open my "patch_aum_**_loc***.pack" and go to the bottom of the table. For every unit there are three rows included > 1. names / 2. short description / 3. long description
1. units_on_screen_name_UNIT_ID
2. unit_description_texts_description_text_UNIT_ID
3. unit_description_texts_long_description_text_UNIT_ID
Don't change anything in the first column! In the second column you can enter your new custom text.

Progress and what's coming next
Modders
Everybody can use my mod for her/his personal or released mod. Please send me a PM with the link of your mod to ask for permission. All you have to do is to give me credits in your mod thread.
If you are a skinner/modeler who wants to give me his textures, then I will include it into my mod. If you are the creator of a major mod who wants that I make a "special unit stats balanced AUM version" for his mod, then please send me a PM.

Thank you all that you allow me to do a special "AUM" version for your awesome major mods!
New textures by:
REMO made four textures for my custom units. He made eight new "Line Infantry" textures for Austria, Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, United Provinces and the United States too. (+ musician and drummer of Russia)
SPANKY (Frederic Anklin) made ten new "Militia" textures for the following major factions: Austria, Britain, Denmark, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, United Provinces, United States and a new generic texture for the remaining factions based on faction colors. These textures are taken from his "Proper Militia Mod 1.0". A preview is available above in the "Textures" section.
HELLFELL made four textures for my custom units.
HRIMFAR made one new "Line Infantry" texture for Sweden

Comments, suggestions, problems and balancing issues
If you have any comments, suggestions or problems you can give me feedback here in this thread.
There are four versions of AUM available each with different stats which are balanced to the related "major mod" or "vanilla standard ETW". It is important for me to know if they are balanced right. If you see any major balancing problem please report your used version and give me some feedback.
The last thing I have to note: English isn’t my mother language and I’m still learning. ;-)
I hope that you're having fun playing my mod and thank you for downloading it! If you like it you could +rep me

(for DarthMod, A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita, Imperial Splendor and vanilla standard ETW)
(I keep this first post always up to date)
My mod adds 30 new custom units and 12 new custom ships to ETW. I know that not all are 100% historical. There are other 45 units from "vanilla standard ETW" which can now be recruited by other factions too.
I made AUM for my personal fun. I decided to release and share it with you.
BACKUP your campaign save games before you try out any mods.

"AUM" is fully save game compatible internally to all past and future releases of my mod.
I suggest that you should BACKUP your "campaign save games" before you try out any mods.
The location for the save games is:

Information about the included textures
- All models, textures, campaign card icons and info card pictures are „vanilla standard ETW“ if not other mentioned.
REMO, SPANKY, HELLFELL and HRIMFAR made new textures for several units.
> "aum_mod***.pack" includes 8 new textures for my custom units
> "patch_aum_graphics.pack" includes 8 new re-textures for "Line Infantry" units
Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically. It is fully optional and AUM works without as well. It changes only the textures of the included "vanilla standard ETW" files.
> REMO made four new textures for my custom units: "Prussian Giants Grenadiers" + "Royal Janissary Guards" + "Engineers" + "Light Cavalry Sharpshooters". He made ight new "Line Infantry" textures for Austria, Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, United Provinces and the United States too. (+ musician and drummer of Russia)
SPANKY made ten new "Militia" textures for the following major factions: Austria, Britain, Denmark, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, United Provinces, United States and a new generic texture for the remaining factions based on faction colors.
> HELLFELL made four new textures for my custom units: "Tsar Guards" + "East European Infantry Mercenaries" + "Don Cossacks Cavalry" + "Fusiliers"

Here are preview pictures taken from "Proper Militia Mod 1.0":
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The flags are all from his "Realistic Flag Set 1.2"
Original quotation from SPANKY:
Note how the animations for militia are different from the line infantry: They stand around, fairly undisciplined, shift their muskets around and wait for something to happen. Then when they get their orders, they carry their muskets very casually. It serves to further differentiate them from the drilled linemen. This is something that the engine does automatically. It simply transfers the militia animations to the new model.

Examples:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
> 1. Example: „Swiss Pikemen + Jaegers + Guards“ aren’t available in America or India. You can build them only in Europe and not every faction has access to them. They are available at the start of a new campaign.
> 2. Example: “Marines” are only available for factions near the ocean and who where historically a naval power. The Marines aren't available for Austria. Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain or the United Provinces can build them. They are available at the beginning of a campaign but you need the special "naval" buildings.
> 3. Example: „Line Infantry Elite“ are globally enabled and all major European factions can recruit them. They need the late technology "military_army_machined_rifling" to be recruitable.
> 4. Example: „Royal Mameluks Guards" are only recruitable in Europe and the Middle East. They are only available for the Ottomans.They need the early technology "military_army_wedge_formation" to be recruitable.
> 5. Example: „Prussian Giants Grenadiers" are only recruitable in the home-regions of Prussia.They are only available for the Prussians. They need the technology "military_army_fire_by_rank" to be recruitable. They have a limit of three units and can only be built in the latest military barracks and the ultimate army building of Prussia.
> 6. Example: „War Galleon" is available globally and all major European factions can build them. The "War Galleon" doesn't need any technology to be buildable. There is a limit of eight "War Galleons" and they can only be built in the three latest naval docks.
> 7. Example: „1st Rate HMS Royal Sovereign" is only available for Great Britain in thei the home-regions of Britain. The "HMS Royal Sovereign" does need the technology "navy_improved_coppering" to be buildable. There is a limit of one unit and the "HMS Royal Sovereign" can only be built in the latest "steam_drydock".
How to see which building is needed to recruit an unit:
- click on the tech research button
- go for military and click at the military buildings with a right click.
- there you will see which units will be available with which buildings.
- All units are limited because of the balance in the campaign mode. You can recruit more elite units than in vanilla, where most of them are limited to one or two by faction.
- All grenades are removed from the Grenadiers. If it’s possible to mod the amount of grenades, then I'll add it back.
- removed the „fire_and_advance“ and „platoon_fire_grouped“ drills from all custom units. (the later ability "improved_platoon_fire_grouped" is still available)
The new patch didn't improve this two firing drills and the AI behavior is much better without.
- removed "fire_volley" and replaced it with "mass_fire".
Installation
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- You can play AUM with several other mods available.
- aum_mod.pack is the "standalone" version for playing "vanilla standard ETW 1.2" or all other mods than the three major mods below.
- aum_mod_dm.pack is fully compatible with “DarthMod 1.9"
- aum_mod_is.pack is fully compatible with “Imperial Splendor 1.0781"
- aum_mod_proper.pack is fully compatible with “A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita 1.0.1"
- patch_aum_graphics.pack is the graphic pack for ALL versions which includes optional graphics by REMO. Just put this file in your ETW data directory and it loads automatically like your language file. It is fully optional and AUM works without as well.
- The stats for each version are based on the corresponding "major mod". The "standalone" version is based on the "vanilla standard ETW" stats. (unit size, stats, recruitment and upkeep costs)
1. Download your prefered version of AUM (aum_mod_***.pack) below in the post.
The other four files are containing the “localisation.loc” which is available in two language versions. In this files are the unit names and descriptions included.
2. Download the “patch_aum_en_loc.zip” for an English version.
Download the “patch_aum_ge_loc.zip” for a German version.
Download the “patch_aum_en_loc_ape_ti.zip” for an English version of "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" (this language file is required to enable all new units from AUM and APE:TI)
Important note if you use the "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version of AUM:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
If you use "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" be sure to download the "patch_aum_en_loc_ape_ti.zip” and load AUM at the bottom of the "Mod Manager" or put it at the end of the "script" file. AUM has to be loaded after APE.
You have to delete the "AProperEmpireTerraIncognita-Localisation.pack" in your ETW data directory, because there can't be two language packs at the same time. If you downloaded an earlier version of AUM:APE, then you have to delete the old "patch_aum_en_loc_proper.pack" too.
The "Giants" are disabled in the "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version because this unit is already included by L33tl4m3r
If you want to use AUM with other "UNIT PACKS" please read this:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- Download the "patch_aum_en_loc_all.pack" which has included all unit names of the following mods together.
- AUM 2.1
- A Proper Empire 1.3.1 (I'm working to include APE:TI 1.0.1)
- Sharpe 1.6
- Great Spirit 1.1
- Ancien Regime unit pack - version 1.1
- plus earlier versions of lego-pack
- M653 unit texture mod v4.1/5.2
- Continental, British, Hessian, Spanish, French and Indian Armies mods
This means that you can play now all "Unit Pack Mods" together. But there is a limit how many units are shown in the recruitment queue. Please read this: "*** UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE ***"
Here is the link to the "Unit Pack Compatibility Project (UPC)" started by applelover.

This means that you can play now all "Unit Pack Mods" together. But there is a limit how many units are shown in the recruitment queue. Please read this: "*** UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE ***"
Here is the link to the "Unit Pack Compatibility Project (UPC)" started by applelover.
It is important that you only use one language file at the same time. Be sure that no other language packs from other mods are loaded. The "Lordz-Map Pack" has an integrated language file and does conflict AUM.
3. Unzip the the files using a program such as WinRar or WinZIP
4. Copy the „aum_mod***.pack“ + “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack” + "patch_aum_graphics.pack" to your ETW „data“ directory.
The graphics pack is fully optional.
You could also directly unzip the file into the ETW “data” directory.
5. Use the "Mod Manager" from „LtChambers“ to activate the "aum_mod***"
or you can add one line below to the end of your "user.empire_script.txt"
mod aum_mod.pack; for "standalone vanilla standard ETW" version
mod aum_mod_dm.pack; for "Darthmod" version
mod aum_mod_is.pack; for "Imperial Splendor" version
mod aum_mod_proper.pack; for "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita" version
The location for the script is:
XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
VISTA C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts
The language and the graphic pack file don't need to be activated with the “Mod Manager” or added to the user script. They are in a “patch” format which is loaded automatically.
If you want to try other mods you can rename the downloaded language file to "patch_aum_en_loc****.pack_disabled" in your ETW "data" directory and then it isn't loaded automatically.
For people having problems with the mod manager:
Make sure if you're using multiple mods, that the ones that aren't checked are moved to the bottom of the queue. Otherwise the manager attempts to load them and any mod placed after them doesn't get loaded.
>>> now you can start Empire and play
Go to the "custom battle" screen to check if AUM loads correctly and shows the unit names.
- The file “aum_mod***.pack” does not change, replace or delete any „vanilla standard ETW“ or other mod-files.
- All tables are just added with the prefix „aum_“ and no records are overwritten.
- The file “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“ does replace the “localisation.loc” to display the unit names and descriptions.
Deinstallation of AUM and the language file
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
- If you activate AUM with the "Mod Manager" then you only have to delete the three files and then it's done.
- If you edited your "script" file to load AUM, then you have to delete the AUM entry in this file too.
- If you edited your "script" file to load AUM, then you have to delete the AUM entry in this file too.
Read this if you have problems to see the unit names and descriptions
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
If you have another mod which replaces the “localisation.loc”, then you have several options: (but before... BACKUP now the file you want to edit)
1. Disable the other mod and use only the files of AUM:
The new units of AUM are available and you can see the unit names and descriptions.
2. Don't use the “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“ from AUM:
The new units from AUM are available, but the names aren't visible. The other mod works fine and adds his own unit names to the game.
3. Export, import and merge both files. This is by far the most complicated way to do, because until now it isn't possible to simply add new lines into the language file without importing the whole file.
- open the “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack“
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc” and on the right side does appear the content in a table with three columns
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to a new folder.
You can call it: “aum_loc.tsv”
- open your other mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Export TSV” to create an exported “TSV” file and save it to the same folder as above. You can call it: “name_ of_ mod_loc.tsv”
- open the “aum_loc.tsv” and go to the end of the file. Then copy all AUM entries.
- open the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” and paste it under the existing rows. Don't overwrite the other entries and don't change the spacings in this file.
- save the “name_of_mod_loc.tsv”
- now copy your downloaded “patch_aum_**_loc***.pack" and rename it for example to "patch_aum_**_loc_NEW.pack" (you can call this file how you want, but it is important that you use the prefix "patch_****")
- open the new created “patch_aum_**_loc_NEW.pack“ mod file
- open the “text” directory
- click on “localisation.loc”
- click on “Import TSV” and add “name_of_mod_loc.tsv” to the pack file. Then save and copy the new created pack file to your ETW “data” directory.
After this whole process you can see the unit names from both mods.
FAQ
Because a lot of people asked me how they can "add / change / remove" something in AUM, I've created here a little FAQ for you all. Please create a backup before you edit the "pack file" in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it. All changes made to AUM are on your own risk.

How to remove the required technology of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_required_technology_junctions_tables/aum_unit_required_technology_junction".
There you can delete the entry for your unit. Then the unit doesn't require the technology anymore. After that save the pack-file.
How to add an unit to a group of factions:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/aum_units_to_groupings_military_permissions"
Then add a new row with the button. Edit the two new columns like this:
1. column = euro_marines_elite / 2. column = austria_group
After that save the pack-file and the Austrian faction groups can recruit "Marines" too.
How to add an unit to a specific faction:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions/aum_units_to_exlusive_faction_permissions"
Then add a new row with the button. Edit the three new columns like this:
1. column = euro_elite_light_infantry_windbuchse_jagers / 2. column = prussia / 3. column = true
After that save the pack-file and the Prussians can recruit the "Windbüchse Jaegers" from Austria in the "austria_home_regions" too.

How to change the "recruitment region" of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "units_tables/aum_units". Scroll to the right until you see the eight column called "Region IDRef". There you can change the region to "global, europe, middle_east" and others. After that save the pack-file.
How to change the "melee weapon" from "sword" to "bayonet":
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"

How to change the "model/texture" of an unit:
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table "unit_stats_land_tables/aum_units_stats_land". Scroll to the column nr. 8 which is called "model". There you can change the existing models for every unit. Be sure that you change it to an already included model otherwise you get CTDs. After that save the pack-file.
How to add "rank_fire" to an unit or remove "platoon_fire":
Open the downloaded "pack" file with the "PFM"
> open the "db" directory and then go to the table
"unit_to_unit_abilities_junction_tables/aum_unit_to_unit_abilities_junction"
There you can see which unit has which abilities. Several units have "rank_fire" already activated.
> add a new row with the button. Edit the two columns like this:
1. column = UNIT_ID / 2. column = rank_fire
If an unit can use "platoon_fire_grouped" and/or "improved_platoon_fire_grouped", then the unit will use this two firing drills instead of "rank_fire".
If you want to be sure that your unit only uses "rank_fire", then you have to delete all rows where the firing drill "platoon..." and "improved_platoon..." are related to this unit. After that save the pack-file.
How to change the name of an unit:
Open my "patch_aum_**_loc***.pack" and go to the bottom of the table. For every unit there are three rows included > 1. names / 2. short description / 3. long description
1. units_on_screen_name_UNIT_ID
2. unit_description_texts_description_text_UNIT_ID
3. unit_description_texts_long_description_text_UNIT_ID
Don't change anything in the first column! In the second column you can enter your new custom text.

Comments, suggestions, problems and balancing issues
If you have any comments, suggestions or problems you can give me feedback here in this thread.
Please write which AUM "mod-version" and "language" file do you use.
There are four versions of AUM available each with different stats which are balanced to the related "major mod" or "vanilla standard ETW". It is important for me to know if they are balanced right. If you see any major balancing problem please report your used version and give me some feedback.
The last thing I have to note: English isn’t my mother language and I’m still learning. ;-)
I hope that you're having fun playing my mod and thank you for downloading it! If you like it you could +rep me
