TrialsWT The Trials DL page

The Trials is my latest - and arguably best - Age, single player scenario, bringing even more innovations to the game and its level design. This scenario was the first to import home city units, cities, and models into the editor/game and its proto file was the basis for many subsequent Home City Units Mods and updates. The level also introduced "flying units" and the trigger based water gate unit. Old techniques are reintroduced with a Trip the Colosseum-style formation sequence in the Dance of the Rheas section. Contributions from well-know Age designers and many modded features make this a great addition to any Age gamer's and designer's personal game folder.

Please note as of 8/13/06 The Trials can only be played with AOE3 1.06+ with the following fix. Install mod and change the name of c/program files/MS Games/AOE3/data/proto.xml.XMB to for example (Temproto.xml.XMB). If you don't change that file name the new units in the proto.xml will not show in the game. Just change the proto.xml.XMB back to its original name and un-install the mod to return to vanilla. I will be updating the mod.zip very soon to alleviate this issue.

It's 1665, Hamburg, 100 years after the battle for Malta, and a wealthy investor hires a mysterious adventurer to reap the spoils of the New World. The journey to the Americas is fraught with danger, and the greedy English have already claimed their stake. It is said fierce wild savages roam the vast, free, and open New lands, with a hunger for scalps. Worse still, evil spirits are rumored to lurk in the dark endless forests, evoking the wrath of nature upon any errant souls who dare set foot upon them.

Amids this background of danger and intrigue, a greater secret is yet to be revealed. Some speak of a myth, the fabled See-ath-ahee, and it is said who finds it will have council with God. Join in the high stakes game with the ultimate reward of meeting God. If you can live to see it that is. View the opening cinematic to see the remarkable story!
