- It allows you to play
Age of Kings and Conquerors Campaigns
after "Pre-Load"!
For loading Saved Games for Skirmish, Standard Games or Campaigns using IA, you need to "Pre-Load" Independent Architecture first or else it will crash AoE2HD. There is a more detailed tutorial on the Main Mod Page, but for a short guide here, you just have to start a new Standard Game with IA Selected. Then you should be able to load the save game without problems.
It may take some time to load up the mod on first launch, since there are large number of units and Buildings that the game needs to register. Once loaded the game runs fine.
For more information about what else Independent Architecture has to offer, plus answers to questions and / or possible problems, please visit the Workshop Page of the Primary Independent Architecture Mod linked above.
This version of Mod does not support:
– Regional Monks(Imam and Chand Bhai)
– Elite UUs and Heroes
(Because the game prevents the addition of new units(by Anti-Piracy Checks) by interpreting them as DLC units)
