This may sound stupid but how do you get something in the scenario instructin map? When I open the list there is nothing.
I hope someone helps me with this issue, Thanks

You must first make the picture in paint or something and save it to the AoK m ain folder, C\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II. When you have it there, it appears in the list.

Also make sure you get the size of the picture right, use the Scenariobkg thing in the folder (But don't save over it, it's a pain to get back)
C\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\Scenariobkg
Aslo you'll need to save it as a 256 Colour Bitmap, otherwise the colours will mess up ingame (You may need to adjust your picture after you save it in 256)
...How do you put in graphics from the game if you were to make a basic pregame map? (e.g. decorated with mountain1's, knights, or trees?)

People do 1 of 2 things, get the graphics from MPS, or edit it in paint (Get rid of all the background colour around the unit and put it on the Scenariobkg file)
Takes a while to achieve it perfectly while doing it in paint, but you get the best results (And it's easier then finding that 1 file you need in MPS)

Copy the scenariobkg file and make it from that file. That way you will see immediately which colours that work
