Streamlined Main Menu Skin

Description
This skin simplifies the game's initial menu screen into a neat series of options, with an understated background.

Icons underneath the main menu display the installed DLC - for the base game, the AoK (red) and AoC (blue) helmets are displayed, with the AoAF (green) and AoAK (yellow) helmets displayed as well, if those DLCs are active.

This mod also tweaks one or two of the in-lobby icons for a neater look.

The background can be easily changed, so let me know if there's a version of this mod with different AoE2-related artwork you would like.

Do you mind if I use this for my mod? I would change only the background and be sure to credit you.

Can you make a mod like this, but change the multiplayer interface?

Thanks!

Yep, just updated :) I'll look at a better place to put the RotR icon soon.

Works fine now :steamhappy:

Ok, this has now been updated to work with game version 5.0 and Rise of the Rajas. Placement of the RotR icon is temporary, I'll work on better placement soon.

JiFoFoka -

Yep, I'm looking at it now. Should be able to fix it very shortly.

Not sure if you're aware, but the new DLC broke this menu (it reverts back to the original layout but keeps the assets from this).

ElCaminante -

You can browse to the mod directory from with Age of Empires 2 HD's Workshop section and alter the images there, but they may change back when I update the mod from time to time. You can create a local version of the mod to suit your needs if required.

RaTcHeT302 - ahh, sorry about that. I've only played the game in English so I didn't spot that. Let me know if you'd like an Italian version and I'll take a look at it.
