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.

Hello. AGE doesn't work for me: it does save changes but they don't work in the game. Tried both in AoE 1 original and Definitive Edition.
Did someone have this problem?[Edited on 07/20/20 @ 03:08 PM]

I did my first mod for RoR using this wonderful tool. Going in pretty much blind, having never really used AGE before I found it amazing how intuitive and simple to use it really is. Every option is well explained and the tooltips provided are excellent. Having a way to view the graphics on the fly is also fantastic! While all the options can be overwhelming at first, this feeling will quickly fade once you have a basic understanding of all the units, objects and options and their traits featured in the games. The posibilities you are presented with here are endless, pretty much every aspect of the game can be altered to your exact liking. New units and civs can be added, new terrains, the list goes on and on! Ongoing support and updates even to this day is commendable and therefore this utility deserves nothing less than the highest score possible. Excellent work and thank you for providing this to the community!
I did notice some sort of bug: you should never open the very same .dat file you are altering in another new AGE window (for example, when comparing units). It will corrupt the .dat file rendering it useless in both the game and in AGE. I lost a day's work because of this but luckily I made several backups of my empires.dat file. Use another backup empires.dat file when opening a new AGE window and you should be fine!

How to use this tool?
I need help, my crystal ball hasn't been working well lately.
This a great tool, but the only documentation I found is outdated and too vague. |

I'm having the same problem as Syncytial pointed out on 05/11/20 @ 06:08 AM. That is AGE simply closes with Expanding Front's latest genie_x2.dat.
Nevertheless, thank you for this amazing program. |

I saw you contact the expanding fronts team on Discord, I hope you were able to get the information you need to release an Expanding Fronts compatible genie editor. It's been over 6 months since we've been able to use a genie editor with that mod, and not being able to mod it is a bit frustrating. Wish you the best of luck with the updates![Edited on 12/15/20 @ 10:58 PM]

Hi all, I just recently discovered this ASTONISHING TOOL a couple of weeks ago. I have used it to do a few things to make my game seem more balanced and try to fix a few things that have bothered me for a LONG time.
I have managed to make up a color scheme for the minimap that seems much better to me, but, is there a way to just export the color palette? If so I would gladly share it. |

Hey, Tapsa, the change log in the main topic has not been updated to 2021.1.26~
-----Edit-----
By the way, AGE exe's title and version are 2020.10.2 as well.
(Your .zip file name for downloading is 2021.1.26, so I wonder if there are some mistake)

Hello, When I try to use the current AGE on the non-hd version of FE, and select any tech from the list AGE immediately freezes. It start using more and more memory then it randomly closes without any error message. It happens on all PCs I have tried so far with mod version of FE. Can someone help me to be able to edit FE (mod version) with AGE? |
