B). Defining Your Scenario into The User.cfg: After creating the desired scenario, is time to define it into the User.cfg file. but first, you must find the user.cfg file: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Age of Mythology/Start Up Folder. In there, you will find a folder called User. CFG. Copy this file a paste it into a save place, in case you do the following step wrong. When you open this File with the NotePad, you will find a text simmilar to this one(read introduction if not):

attractMode-scenario-0 ~AoM_pgs_Water
attractMode-scenario-1 ~UI_Norse
-attractMode-scenario-2
-attractMode-scenario-3
-attractMode-scenario-4
-attractMode-scenario-5
-attractMode-scenario-6
-attractMode-scenario-7
-attractMode-scenario-8
-attractMode-scenario-9

Note: If you do not have a User.cfg file, do the following step by step(if you have a user.cfg, skip this part)

1). Open up the Notepad, dont do anything yet, and click "save as"
2). On the "File Name" box, type "User" and add at the end .cfg (Example: User.cfg)
3). On the "Save as Type" box, select "All files"
4). On the "Encoding" box, select ANSI
5). Now specify where you will save the file. For now, it doesnt matter where you put it.

C). Now that you have opened the User.cfg, and everthing is starting to make sense, it is time to disable the current Menu Backgrounds. If you have RM script before, it would be sort of simmilar this following part. Insert a "//" symbol at the beginning of each line that defines a background. It should look like:

//attractMode-scenario-0 ~AoM_pgs_Water
//attractMode-scenario-1 ~UI_Norse

This will disable the current backgrounds for AoM: The Titans. It will not erase them, or Erase the current backgrounds for AoM. It will just disactivate them. Now Insert into the top of the User.CFG the following:

attractMode-scenario-0 ~your scenario name

D). When writing your scenario name, Do Not include the .scx at the end. You can also create multiple randomize backgrounds by doing the same procedure, and just changing the number symbol to the next one. So if i want to create 3 randomize Backgrounds, i would do the following:

attractMode-scenario-0 ~your scenario name
attractMode-scenario-1 ~your scenario name
attractMode-scenario-2 ~your scenario name
//attractMode-scenario-0 ~AoM_pgs_Water
//attractMode-scenario-1 ~UI_Norse
//attractMode-scenario-2
//attractMode-scenario-3
//attractMode-scenario-4
//attractMode-scenario-5
//attractMode-scenario-6
//attractMode-scenario-7
//attractMode-scenario-8
//attractMode-scenario-9

Save it under the same .cfg format, and put it in the StartUp folder. Everthing should have worked fine. If not, then ask yourself this question: "Did i make any spelling error while typing my scenario on the User.CFG file?"

You can download this guide Here. I just updated it including a sample Menu Background i made about 4 months ago. If you have Suggestion/comments, post
