    Default [Direct Download] - Ancient Empires 2.0

    This thread is to provide direct downloads of Ancient Empires for Mac user, those who have issues with steam, or those who want to rollback to an older version of the mod. For most users the simplest option is to subscribe through steam using these links

    instructions for the manual installation of Ancient Empires
    There has been a bit of confusion about manual installation of Ancient Empires. All of my uploads are in the 7z format. 7z is the best option for extracting these files, though WinZip and WinRAR usually work as well. On Mac you can use Kika, Unarchiver, iZip or Dr Unarchiver. If you have trouble extracting with one program just try another one. Most of them are free. For pack 2, the .001, .002, .003, and .004 files are three parts of one archive. You need to have them in the same folder, then extract .001. This will take the content from all. This file simply had to be split because it was too large and was being corrupted during download.
    DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTRACT THE FILE WITH THE EXTENSION .002, .003, .004!

    After downloading the 7z files and extracting them, you should have the following files:
    @e_001_ancient_empires_master_pack1.pack
    @e_001_ancient_empires_master_pack1.png
    @e_002_ancient_empires_models_pack2.pack
    @e_002_ancient_empires_models_pack2.png


    Simply place these extracted .pack and .png files into ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila\data. The .pack files are the actual mod, while the png files just add icons. In mod manager check enable out of date mods. Make sure all the Ancient Empire mods are checked but no others. Once you get the base game working, you can repeat the process with any submods desired.
    Not sure how often i'm going to update here, but you can always download the current version directly from steam using this website: https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/
    just post the address for the mod on steam workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/app/325610/workshop/

    Well a couple days ago the download link wasn't working for you, if you ever got pack 2 working before, you don't need to download it again since it hasn't updated since my first upload. However if you never got it to work, it just means that your download was corrupted. You just need to download it again, preferably from a different source from before. Swarb's link on we tranfer and mine on media fire and google all have the exact same file from steam.
    I compressed these directly in OSX with no addition software as zip files because both Mac and Windows computers can extract the files with no additional software. So the only thing that can go wrong is some info being lost in the transfer. Others who got the error you did got it to work by downloading from a different source.

    Thanks Texoman. Appreciate the service you're doing for the community. Just a heads-up, a large update inbound for the 14th or 15th, and another major update planned for around the 18th with new content. Will only affect Part 1.

    No problem. Its nothing compared to all the work that has gone into this mod. I've been following it from the beginning. The upload takes a while but i do it on my mac while playing on my pc so gives me something to do between turns. I'll try to keep up with all the updates and keep at least the 2 newest version of each file hosted.

    Don't do that to the poor kid. I think you better leave the naming of your children up to their mother.

    Probably best to replace my stickied thread with this one then. My 1.0.1h links are out of date and will expire later today, and I'm away on holiday for a couple of weeks so won't be able to upload the new update.

    Will save you getting a load of comments on my thread saying "Y deez linkz no werk? U PROMIZED!!!"

    Thank you for the uploads to both texoman81 and Swarbs! If it's taking too long to upload them texoman, perhaps wetransfer is a good option. I've always had a good experience with them (and Swarbs already used them for the first round of uploads). Also, the link is only up for 7 days, which is about the time between new versions.

    Btw, for some reason I get a CTD when trying to go to "Custom Battle". I am using the Swarbs' Pack 2 (which should be fine), and 1.01j from texoman. The campaign works, but this does not. If you have any suggestions, thanks in advance! Is there a separate custom battle mod or something?

    We definitely need to replaced the sticked 1.01h thread with this one. Far more people are downloading from it often downloading outdated versions. I want to keep some older version open for those who have a save-game broken by an update. And the links in the OP are all dead now.

    I've been seeding since you asked yesterday, except while my computer was off while i was asleep.


    [edit]
    I never deleted the torrents, i just replaced the links to them with google drive links and didn't leave uTorrent open.

    I am seeding all three AE files and stopped everything else. I am also uploading a version of pack 2 with 2 7z files that will probably be your best option. They are about 2gb each.




    [EDIT]
    Here is a more compressed, split version of pack 2 for those of you having trouble downloading. You will need to download both parts and place them in the same folder then exctract the first file.
    Each file is about 2 GB so should be less problems with corruption. On Mac you can use Kika, Unarchiver, iZip or Dr Unarchiver. On windows 7-zip, WinZip or WinRAR will work.

    I added this and other upload of Pack 2 from Alexander78 to the OP. Now hopfully everyone will have a clean copy of Pack 2 in time for the k update.

    The update contains only pack 1. It is updated to the latest version of "J" and downloaded. How did I know you had problems unpacking pack 2? If this problem is solved, I'm happy for you. I think the next mod updates will appear here.)

    Thank you very much for your kind words, but if we talk about me, I don't really deserve them. I just uploaded the files and nothing else. The real work was done by others. I'm talking about the team that created the mod and the texoman81 that created this thread. I was just a little bit involved.) Cheers)

    Glad you finally got pack 2. Hopefully the others that were having problems have too. I'm going to abandon the torrents again since they weren't working well anyway. My plan has always been to keep uploading the most current version of every file. No promises, but i'll keep it up as long as i'm following AE.
