 Welcome to our Age of Empires II: DE Quick & Easy Modding Guide! Ready to revamp your empire? Let’s dive in:



1. **Fix Crashing Maps:**  
   When updates cause your custom maps to crash, simply create a new blank map, copy-paste your content, and test it for about 20 minutes. Often, the culprit is a temporary glitch!

2. **Create a Super Samurai:**  
   Use A.G.E. to duplicate an existing unit like Elite Samurai. Boost its stats—think 750 HP and extra armor—but avoid those unstable experimental language features. Load your custom dataset and watch your hero come to life!

3. **Modify Unit Behavior:**  
   Want your ballista elephant to completely destroy trees? Increase its blast radius or attack damage in A.G.E. and tweak until nature trembles beneath its might.

4. **Change Resource Amounts:**  
   Adjust your gold or stone mines by editing their resource values in A.G.E. Whether you drop them from 800 to 1 or any other number, customize to balance your gameplay.

5. **Add Custom Icons:**  
   Ensure your UI mod is enabled and that your JSON file points to the correct icon folder. Then, assign your custom icon ID in both the UI and data mods for a seamless visual upgrade.

6. **Resize Unit Graphics:**  
   If a giant unit appears invisible, ditch the “x2” in filenames. Rename and properly link your new graphics in A.G.E. so your colossal warrior is seen by all.

7. **Make Units Glow Like Heroes:**  
   Finally, adjust the hero mode settings in A.G.E. to give your unit a radiant glow—purely for style without extra powers.

Quick tips: Always back up your work, test changes one at a time, and upload through the official channel. Now, unleash your modding prowess and transform your empire!
