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.

no installation needed, no need to move files, but you will need to lead the editor to the .dll files.[Edited on 08/06/19 @ 11:07 PM]

The Advanced Genie Editor is the definitive tool for all Age of Empires modders. Age of Empires is based on the Genie Game Engine, hence the name Genie Editor. There have been several Genie editors over the years, each updating and improving in the previous, but the Advanced Genie Editor 3 by Keisari Tapsa is the most equipped and greatest of them all.
The Advanced Genie Editor ( otherwise known as AGE) provides modders with the ability to edit the games core data files (empires_p1_x1.dat) as well as also providing capabilities to edit language files and drs graphics files. All of this provides modders with infinite tools to create a whole new gaming experience for AOK. In fact one could argue that AGE could slow you to create an entirely new game based on the Genie Engine.
AGE has a very user friendly interface and once you’ve played around with it for a little bit of fine it can become very easy to use. It gives you the capacity to add new unit, chance terrains, graphics, and interfaces, as well as add new technologies, sounds and completely mess about with most of the game mechanics that aren’t hard coded into the software. For a new modder it will take a bit of getting used to but there are plenty of tutorials and friendly faces in the forums who can help you figure it all out.
Overall AGE is the most helpful tool any modder could wish for. The capabilities are endless and it allows us to turn our beloved game into something even more unique and enjoyable. This version of AGE is absolutely flawless and I’ve never discovered any bugs in the program. It is constantly being updated by Keisari Tapsa, and to date was last updated in early 2019.
I would highly recommend everyone downloaded this and gave it a go.
Thanks

Maybe someone can help me; The editor runs fine, albeit very confusingly. When I run AOE AOK Conquerors expansion, however, none of the mods are in effect. I have tried it on every game type and tried several times. I have made sure the files used are the x1_p1 files for conquerors expansion, but it still won't affect the game itself. |

Hi! How should I edit the dat file of AoE2DE? I managed to open empires2_x2_p1_originalsounds.dat, but failed to open empires2_x2_p1.dat. What's the difference between them? |
