HI, StormBreaker, there is the tutorial about set up .json files,the link is below: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2363743236

@filthydelphia I think Ragnars Raids is also one of your maps. I find there a bug. One of the subquest was stucked, apparently, because I found the group of soldiers before the subquest tasked me to do it. Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/1witxih

Hey Filthy, do you happen to have guides or have a website to help us set up the .JSON files and folder setup in order for us to create our own campaigns with custom cinematics? I'm struggling to find good tutorials on that matter. I don't understand any of it at all... I could really use a header here please.

Celo, I did the voice acting. There is no place to vote to make these maps official content. They will not be made official. Hope that helps.

@filthydelphia I tried to restart game and this time sound worked. Thank you for the advice. I have many questions about this, but let me scale them to two big ones. (In case this is already answered in some video or printed interview with you, just link me to it if you want) 1. How it is possible that you made a fully voiced map? Did you pay someone to do it? Why is the Khmer kings solemnly only one thats voiced? 2. Why your maps in this collection arent official content, if you yourself made official content before? Where can I vote this to become part of furure expansions?
Filthydelphia  [author] 28 Apr, 2021 @ 7:53pm 
Hi Celo, restart the game and it should work. All custom campaigns with sound files require a game restart to load properly.

@filthydelphia Hi, I just installed Khmer Kings for the Definitive edition and It has no audio as you are mentioning it. The intro voiceover nor when in-map characters are talking. Is this some kind of bug? I was actually very interested for how you can get sounds into the campaign.

Hi Filthydelphia and congrats your campaigns are great! May be i do something wrongly but i can only play the 1st scenario of your camapaings. It doesnt launch after my victory (without cheating) only one scenario apprears on the campaign's map. what should i do? thanks a lot

Hi, glad you like my campaigns! I don't know anything about graphics modding, unfortunately. Your best bet is to ask your questions at AoK Heaven and someone there might be able to help.

Hey dude! I really love your campaigns! And that such a serious guy (US Marines, Business MBA) is has time for gaming makes me feel better about myself :)


Sorry for writing this here, but could you please help me with something?


Is it possible to edit / change graphics of AoE DE units with the Advanced Genie Editor?


E.g. I would like to change the AoE DE Legionary with the AoE II DE Legionary (i.e. late Roman).


If that is possible, what are the directories for the graphics, language etc. files?


Thanks and keep up the great work!
