Archer Hunter Prototype Mac OS

A quest item once belonging to the anatomy of a man named Tangler, leader of a cut gang called the Rippers. The Rippers were one of two gangs only partially implemented before their hometown in the Boneyard was overhauled late in development and their territory repopulated by Deathclaws (this change is hinted at by the 'Ripper' movie poster on this map).

Age of Empires is an early RTS game which started an entire series. You develop one of several civilizations from the Stone Age to the Iron Age and start a war against your enemies to achieve world domination (though technically, you conquer one map at a time only).

The game later received the expansion Rise of Rome, which expands the game's timeline slightly to cover the Roman Empire era and adds some staggeringly difficult campaign missions.

Unused Technologies

Republic Age

It seems that originally, you were supposed to be able to continue development beyond the Iron Age. There's this icon, text (called, appropriately, Republic Age Not in use in the language file) and several graphics for a so-called Republic Age that are never used in the game.

Stone Age

Stone Age is the very first age in the game, however originally there was an age before the Stone Age, Ice Age, as indicated in the 00.05.01.0204 prototype in multiple files.

Mathematics

A scrapped upgrade that would've fit with the game, but is inexplicably unused. Both this and Scouting can be found in the 00.05.01.0204 prototype.

Scouting

The icon suggests that this had something to do with the line of sight - fitting, as that's pretty abysmal in the game and an upgrade to it would be great to have. Both this and Mathematics can be found in the 00.05.01.0204 prototype.

Fish

This fish icon is among the upgrade icons, not the unit icons. Could've been something to improve the villager's fishing skills.

Cartography

Looks like a cartography upgrade, judging from the icon. It doesn't really suggest what it's good for, though.

Pottery

No idea at all on this one.

Unknown 1

No idea here either.

Unknown 2

The icon suggests this was related to the archery, or archers. There aren't any other clues though.

Unknown 3

Possibly something related to trading? It does look like it could fit in there.

Researchable Units

It seems that a lot more units were required to be researched before you could train/build them. A bunch of unused text exists for researching several units which in the final game you can train/build straight away:

• Light Transport
• War Elephant
• Elephant Archer
• Cavalry
• Chariot
• Horse Archer
• Chariot Archer
• Ballista
• (Rise of Rome) Fire Galley

These four upgrade icons are not used in the game, and were likely used by some of the above units for researching them.

Unused Buildings

Trade Workshop

The trade workshop is an unused building. It can be placed on a custom map with some hacking, but it has no function at all. Complete graphics for all four distinct building styles exist (there are none for Rome in the expansion though).

Town Center Architectures

These unused Town Center architectures are located between the Bronze Age and Iron Age architecture. They exist for the Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian building styles - the Asian one just has a duplicate of the Bronze Age architecture there, suggesting this was not quite finished.

Road

Buildable roads were planned at some point in development, as evidenced by a text string 'Build-Road' in the language file. They would've been historically accurate, so why they were removed remains a mystery.

Ruins

These unused ruins don't look anything like the ruins used in the final game - they're actually reminiscent of the Egyptian Bronze Age Temple.

Discovery

Simply an alternate design for the Discovery that didn't make it into the final game.

Volcano

This is a rather intimidating volcano, complete with lava flowing out of it. This would've made for a very cool decoration in the game... it might have looked a bit out of place though, as the in-game hills and mountains have a very different appearance from what is seen here.

Unused Units

Traitor

Explorer

Goat

It's a goat. Possibly intended as another animal for you to hunt for food, although it kinda doesn't fit with the Mediterranean setting of the game.

Horse

It's what it says on the tin, a simple black and white horse. While it can be moved just fine in Age of Empires, it turns invisible in Rise of Rome when moving. It can also be hunted in the original game using villagers (though you can't get any food from it as it disappears as soon as it dies). It was possibly meant as decoration or as part of a mission objective.

Revisional Differences

There are several patches available. Only some of the more notable changes are listed here.

Changes from v1.0 to v1.0a

Archer Hunter Prototype Mac Os X

• Fixes:
  • Units don't stop when bumping into each other. Movement in general was improved so a group of units can pass through narrow passages more efficiently.
  • Holding Shift while placing a building allows you to keep the building selected to place it multiple times. Due to an oversight, this even worked with the Town Center, allowing you to build it multiple times. This was fixed in v1.0a, where you can now only build another Town Center after advancing to the Bronze Age and building a Government Center.
  • Right-Clicking on a damaged enemy ship (of a tribe which you set diplomacy as 'allied') caused the ship to move towards you, possibly allowing you to attack and sink it. This was fixed in v1.0a in that it no longer allows you to repair ships from other tribes unless both players have set their diplomacy towards each other as 'allied'.

Changes from v1.0a to v1.0b

No noteworthy changes.

Changes from v1.0b to v1.0c

• A hotkey '.' was added that cycles through all your Villagers and Fishing Boats that are not assigned any task.
• Balance Changes:
  • Shang Villagers used to cost 35 food. As a balance change in v1.0c, Shang Villagers now cost 40 food and the player starts out with 40 less food.
  • Phoenician Villagers used to work 54% faster. In v1.0c, they now only work 15% faster.
• Fixes:
  • Placing a Market without actually building it allowed you to pay tributes to other players. This no longer works in v1.0c where you have to complete building your Market.
  • Villagers can no longer build through diagonal enemy walls.
  • An exploit which allowed Farms to reset their food was fixed.
  • Players can no longer use certain cheats in the multiplayer mode, such as 'no fog', 'reveal map' and 'gaia'.
  • Trade ships will no longer continue trading at your Dock after it has been converted.
