Alrighty dudes. I figured it was time to make a comprehensive guide to WOTTA containing all the info you need to know. My other post was rather sudden, and didn't explain enough, so without further ado, here it is. | |

 War of the Triple Alliance is the largest modification of Age ofEmpires III. It's absolutely free and made by fans of this well-known Microsoft game. Due to its size and abrangence, WotTA is one of themost waited mods for AoEIII on the windows platform. Team
Basically, the team is Lord Tahattus (from Brazil), Alvaro_qc (from Mexico), Day of the Ninja (from North America) and many others, namely Banished for expanding the mod over to Macintosh. Since Lord Tahattus lives in one of the old WotTA battlefields, it was the basic inspiration for making the mod. Currently, the mod has been assisted by Skippo (who made theTupi buildingset), by Custergrant (who made the intro song), and by many fans of WotTA who are partaking in the forum life and basic community by posting their screenshots and suggestions. The Origin
Warof Triple Alliance idea was originally for Rise of Nations, another real-time strategy game. Once Napoleonic Era was released, however, Tahattus that he could take the RON mod to the new game. This way, WotTAwas born. It was going to have just one civilization, Brazil, but Paraguay came in quick succession. With the release of The Warchiefs expansion, Argentina, Tupi and Colombia were added. For The Asian Dynasties, five more civilizations are under development: the Italians, and three unique African nations: Egyptian, Zulu and Abyssinians. Timeline
WotTA's timeline goes from 1453 (the fall of Constantinople) to somewhere around 1900 (end of Renaissance to Industrial Age). The main plot of the mod is the War of Triple Alliance, that the Triple Alliance fought Paraguay.

How does anyone find the time to create such a large and comprehensive mod to a video game that's dying anyways? Did the people who made this get paid in any way? | |

Well, the only 2 I use and know of are Photoshop and Pixelmator... but they must be in the TGA format, converted from DDT | |

Is Pixelmator free? Also, do you need a special program to convert from ddt to Tga? Or can you just change the tag? | |

Honorious, you need to get aoe3ed and run it using CrossOver. And Pixelmator is free. Or at least it was for me And we're releasing a WOTTA TAD update VERY soon. So soon it's a secret so i can't tell the exact date | |
