Thanks for the answer! That's too bad you aren't active in AoM modding, but I'm thankful you once were and I will continue to appreciate your work for years to come :)

Hi Amrti, I'm not active in AoM modding anymore, so it's unlikely, especially if there is no way to easily port all or part of a scenario into the new game. I haven't yet decided if I even want to purchase the new game.

Hey man I am a long-time player of your Third Age of Middle-Earth map, I was wondering if you think you'll remake it for AoM Retold. Thanks man.

@ScaryMaskLP - Just saw your comment on YouTube. I have never played AoE1, but what you describe should be possible by just copying existing proto units and making new 3D assets as you see fit. You will need a text editor like Notepad++ or VS Code (both free) for editing proto.xml which can be found in the data folder. Remember to make your edits to a copy in a mod, don't edit your root proto files. Check the Setna proto unit for the attack and Arkantos for the revive (iirc, that's a unit flag).

As far as the visual assets - I think AoE1 used sprites, no? Can't really be ported into AoM. I'd recommend getting an existing unit like the Egyptian priest that's close enough and making minor edits until you're happy. I have a guide on using 3ds Max for these sorts of edits on my profile.

If you get stuck, ask in the AoM modding discord. Good luck.
