    i've been playing loads of AOE2 1v1s with my sister on network (i think its Age of Kings).. but need a change, a new civilisation, or a new style of maps, different textures, different buildings or whatever (without having to use the cheats :)). it doesn't have to be historically correct, but is there anywhere that I can get multiplayer mods or addons for this game? has anyone played any good ones?

    Age of Kings: Conquerers is the official addon which was released over a year ago. You get some new civilisations plus bug fixes etc.

    Or wait a week or two for Star Wars Galactic Battleground which is a rts made using the Age of Kings engine. The gameplay is very similar and plays like a mod (which is bad if you want something really different) and the demo should be available for download.

    as chubby said conquerers is an expansion for it.
    It works well and the new civilisations are good to use and add a lot of extra life to the game.
    They is also a unique technology to give diffrent teams diffrent (and usually massive) advantages in 1 department.
    eg:the goths specialty is infantry,they can research a tech to buuild huskarl from the barracks + another (they r the only team 2 have 2 techs) to build infantry 30% faster...it takes 6seconds to make a champion!!!!!
    There is also a few more map types...1 has turkeys instead of sheep + leaperds instead of wolves.
    The aztecs + the mayans r VERY good fun to use,because they dont have cavalry...AT ALL! they even use men with hand carts instead of horses for trade carts.Instead they have eagle warriores which are very VERY fast infantry.
    They are a few new techs in it aswell.eg: there is a tech to DOUBLE the speed of trade carts.
    Teams r more diffrent now,rather than all being pretty much the same they are completely diffrent 2 use.eg:the tuetons castle can get +5 range,making out range anything except a trbuchet.
    The japanese (or chinese cant remember) can pack/unpack a trebuchet in a matter of seconds,they also fire faster

    It is well worth a look if u like AoE2 and it should keep ye occupied for another few months (it done me all summer :))
