Improvement mod adds a large variety of units, boasting an impressive 105+ new RM units, with another several dozen Scenario Editor units. Much of Expanded Mod's content is inspired by the early development version of Age of Mythology (including much cut content features), Age of Empires, Age of Empires: Online and Age of Empires II. In July of 2019, the Expanded Mod finally released in an Open Beta state on the Steam Workshop for the Extended Edition, and is updated consistently bringing in new updates.
However, development for a Steam version proper began in March 2017, with a Facebook post announcing that the Titans version was most likely going to be retired. However, it did not receive any updates or official release unto the Steam Workshop due to file size issues. Steam-wise, Expanded Mod was originally ported and posted on Moddb in December of 2015. By January 2015, the first public release of Improvement Mod was released.Įventually in mid-late 2015 for the release of v1.2b, Improvement Mod was renamed to Expanded Mod, due to the "lack of improvements, and the focus on too much expansion" as well as to separate it from the mod of the same name for Age of Empires III. Eventually within a couple of months, the Improvement Mod had a small issue of new technologies and units, mostly ported from Age of Empires.
