Introduction

I think we all thought out loud about this in the past. What if a new expansion pack to AoC would've been released? Which new civs would have been added? Which new units would spice up the battlefield? Which new technological improvements would be out there to help us forge an empire and defeat the enemy with new inventive tactics?

Okay, thing is, that this might not just be wishful thinking. I did some extensive research over the last days and I managed to add new civs, units and techs to the existing AoC. No, not just a modpack, but a real expansion, increasing the civ count beyond 18.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gillnets
Building: Dock
Available to: All
Age: Castle
Effect: Fishing Traps Gathering Rate +15%
Reason: Give those fishing traps some use.

Chieftains
Building: Castle
Available to: Vikings
Age: Castle
Effect: Gives Berserks anti-cavalry bonus
Reason: Vikings have nothing vs Paladins right now and Berserks are nearly useless. This solution solves 2 problems at once. We also avoid Vikings having halbs as this would render them too strong in early imp situations with arbs+strongest halbs+almost full siege.

Greek Fire
Building: Castle
Available to: Byzantines
Age: Castle
Effect: Fire Ships +1 range
Reason: Massed galleons will most likely rule the seas till the end of time, but maybe if water wars would be more balanced, these guys could force a breakthrough?

Panokseon
Building: Castle
Available to: Koreans
Age: Castle
Effect: Turtle ships +15% faster
Reason: Turtles have a tanking functionality, but this one actually gives them a little speed while doing so. Hopefully giving them the chance to at least fire some cannon balls before sinking.

Yasama
Building: Castle
Available to: Japanese
Age: Castle
Effect: Towers fire 5 arrows
Reason: Give Japanese something extra in post-imp. The new feature makes their towers comparable, yet totally different from bombard towers.
