Ok! This guide will tell you how to create your own water.
Lets say you want to make a dark green-ish coloured water. First of all find the Age Of Mythology data folder and run it through AOMed (read data file). Now you should get a file called waterbodies.xml. Open that up and you might find a code for a water that looks like this:
<river name="GREEK River" iconname="ui\GRiver64" surface="water" bottom="RiverGrassyA" bank="RiverGrassyB" outerbank="RiverGrassyC" color="0 50 170" depth="3.0" slope="">
<protounit>Rock River Sandy</protounit>
<protounit secondary="">Oak Tree</protounit>
<protounit secondary="">Oak Tree</protounit>
<protounit>Rock River Sandy</protounit>
</river>
We just found the basic Greek river.
Now copy it and paste it below the last river tag, if anything goes wrong you can delete it.
Basically keep everything the same except terrain, colour of water and object-placement (although advanced designers can change or experiment with them). To get your dark green colour enter '0 150 0' Change the terrain to whatever you want and choose your object placement.
You can choose colours by doing the more colours fill option on microsoft word or powerpoint to a box. If you're guessing just never go over 255!
This is in R,G,B format. Reducing a number makes the shade of the colour darker.
Your done! Start AOM to see your water, they all work online! Have fun!
They all work online, whether others have your waterbodies file or not
