File Details
Version: Age of Empires II: DE

Advanced Genie Editor
for Age of Empires, Rise of Rome (including DE), Age of Kings, The Conquerors (including DE), Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and Clone Campaigns.

This is a program for editing data of genie (DAT and DLL) files. It can edit properties of units, civilizations, technologies, graphics, terrains, sounds, player colors and some other things.

Please, ask questions on the forums.

Check out this program also. It's for graphical modding.

For editing language files in The Conquerors,
I recommend this download.

Pulkit This is excellent! I've switched from regular AGE to this one for modding unit data. The arrangement of all statistics in one common location is particularly helpful. Excellent work here, yours as well as the credited contributors'!

Nice that you liked it. There will be researches, technologies, civilizations, terrains, terrain restrictions, graphics, sounds and player colors sections in addition to units' section. Support is planned to be added for SWGB and CC.

I uploaded a new zip file packed with WinZip 15.0 set to legacy compression (maximum compatibility).

You should be able to open it now. If not, use WinZip or WinRAR.

Thanks xXSpecialsoulXx, but due to your spelling, your message looks like some spam generator program's output text.

And AGE 2 cannot (at least yet) edit DRS files. There are apparently other tools for that.
zedbanana does this editor work for mods like the wonders-mod that ghost made? For instance, can i change the unit stats of the templar knight or the roman cataphract or the briton sniper? if not, will it at least allow me to change the stats of the regular units like paladin and champion and trebuchet? thanks for your help!

Yes, it does. Yes, you can.
BF_Tanks I also helped with the Logo, a little bit. Also with the palcement of some buttons, beta testing 2.0, and I also found alot of bugs and documented stuff from 1.8 for StS to look at upon his request.

Just.. throwin' that out there. :3
