Hello and welcome to my first own mod!
Ark of Empires is a total conversion in which all Ark components are used 100%. My inspiration came from games like Spore and of course Age of Empires.
Ark of Empires is all about evolving. Evolve your tribe from primitive primal inhabitants to a highly developed Tek culture. You start as a simple tribe. You can build a few tools and the first Townhall in your inventory. You then build all other items, such as saddles, in crafting stations. These are produced in the Townhall . The Townhall of the next phase is also built in the previous Townhall, which can then build more crafting stations.
All engrams are deactivated.
You must use the crafting stations. The crafting stations: There is the Townhall, the Builder, the Saddler, the Lab, the Workshop and the Special Smithy.
Townhall: The core of your tribe. Here you build all the stations of the current phase and unlock the new Townhall for the next phase. Remember: If it is destroyed, you will have to rebuild your culture from scratch. Leaving the old Townhall standing and letting the town grow organically is therefore a good idea.
Builders: Builders create the structures of the respective phase. Crafting does not build on each other. Builders from phase 2 therefore cannot craft phase 1 structures and so on.
Saddler: The saddler produces saddles. Here too, crafting does not build on each other.
Lab: All chemicals are produced in the Lab. Phases 2 and 3 have the same crafting station, as no new items are added here. The crafting builds on each other. So you only ever need the latest crafting station.
Workshop: All weapons and tools of the respective phase are crafted here. Crafting also builds on each other here. So you only ever need the latest crafting station.
SpecialSmithy: Every stage after stage 2 has 3 Special Smithys. Here a some special items crafted. You can, but dont need to unlock it to progress to the next stage.
There are 6 different phases for your culture: -Tribal -Early Medieval -Late Medieval -Industrial -Modern -Tek
Other mods: Ark of Empires is not compatible with mods that add their own items, as these do not appear in the engram menu. If you want to add add mod, please contact me and it will be added.
Bobs Tall Tales is fully included, but you need to buy the DLC obviously.
Currently compatible mods are listed on my discord.
It's my first mod and a very big project. If you find any bugs or have any questions or requests please join my new modding discord: https://discord.gg/WRZD8yUgNU
