Getting Started With Windows...[]

Lets get editing a campaign with Windows...[]

If your in data, go to the "campaigns" folder. Now, click any campaign you want to mod. Let's say you want to modify Heir To The Throne. Click the Heir to the Throne folder. Then, click "scenarios". Now, open Notepad, and drag the scenario you want to modify into the notepad. Now, you have all the code! Luckily, it's in a custom language for easy programming. The upside to that is it is also easy to edit. Scan through the code. If you want to add more gold to one team, you can. Find the team your on, and then find the "gold=x" section and add the number you wish. The more you mod the more you will become familiar with it.

Lets get editing units with Windows...[]

Go to data. Then go to core. Then units. Select the group you want to mod. If you want to modify an Elvish Archer, for example, go to "elves" and then "Archer.cfg". Open Notepad and then drag archer in the Notepad. Scroll through the file and find what you want to modify. It's easy to edit, just don't get overwhelmed. If you want to add Gold to that unit, just scroll down and find it. Just be sure you do small chunks, and things you can revert. But also, remember, when modding units, even AI will be able to use it.
