Hey I have short question. Me and my friend play all titles of the Aoe Series. A year ago we installed a 1000 pop mod for AOE4 and it worked really well with AI behaviour and game stability.

My concern for aoe3 is that the AI will break because I read on the internet that the AI script is giga hard coded and goes off-rail and breaks hard if you tinker around. Is this still true for DE version as of 2026?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how likely it is that a world/save created during the 3.0 Experimental version will require a fresh start once 3.0 officially releases?

I'd like to jump into experimental, but I'm not sure if it's worth investing time into a long-term playthrough if there's a chance that saves will become incompatible when the full 3.0 release goes live.

Since it's a rather small update I would guess that a complete fresh start for 3.0 stable is rather unlikely?

Also can anyone remember how the 2.0 release got handled? I have no memorys about the 2.0 experimental at all.

Thanks!
