To edit a unit's attributes, just use the "modify protounit" trigger.

For instance, you can select "modify protounit", myrmidon, player 1, Hand Attack Hack, and 20 to add 20 hack damage to every Myrmidon owned by player 1.

To make a unit invincible, set a trigger up like this:

[x] Active
[x] Loop
[x] Run Immediately
(highest priority)
Condition: Always
Effect: Damage Unit
Select the unit, and type -10000 (or any high number that is negative. This will give it -10000 damage repeatedly at a very fast rate, so anything that hits it cannot kill it.

You can also make your own custom unit, with its own look, if that's what you mean. If so, check out this tutorial:

Also, if you're going to make a new unit, check out some of the other tutorials here:

Hope this helps! By the way, this probably should've been in the question thread at the top of the page, either here or in Scenario Design and Discussions.

Thank you! The first link is exactly what I was looking for.





Edit: The guide tells me to download cheesy anim editor, but when i click on the link to download it it says the webpage has an error. I've tried refreshing many times, is there a problem with the website?

Yeah, Cheasy's website was taken down some time after the guide was published.

Not to worry, though! Download it here:

Thanks, you're a lifesaver!


Edit: i downloaded it but when i try opening it it says: Component 'COMDLG32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.


Has this happened to anyone else?

No problem!

You could also put 100000000000000000000000000000000.0 in the delta box which will make it have 0 hp and it will be impossible to damage if you don't want to loop it

Did you extract the folder before running the EXE?

Yes, it automatically does that whenever i download it.

Edit: I clicked download but after i tried installing it, it said 'error, this program is already part of this operating system'. if i already have it, how do i access the program?


Edit again: I've searched my computer for something called Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) and nothing came up.?

You need to put Comdlg32.ocx from here into your C:\windows\system32 folder.

Let me know if the program works afterward.

Yayy, no problem!

I'm off to make my new units, this'll take a while thanks and bye

Take care!

lol, i like that keyboard.


but it seems i have another problem

the guide to making new units tells me to rename the DDT files. But where are they?


edit: ok, i found some ddt files...but they all say minicamp in front of them. what is that?

[This message has been edited by rodolfo833 (edited 07-19-2009 @ 10:51 PM).]

To get the DDT files, open AoMED and click "select imput file". Select textures.bar in your Age of Mythology/textures folder, then click okay.

For the folder to extract data into, select a folder you're prepared to dump a ton of stuff into--you can make a new one, if you want. Click "read data file", then wait for the Matrix prompt thingy to finish.

Once it's done, you'll have a bunch of textures for various units. They're the DDT files--just choose one of them from the unit you want to start from.

EDIT: Don't worry about the minicamp files. They're just backgrounds (I believe) for the Golden Gift campaign--they have nothing to do with units.

'So rename your DDT files to what you put in the Anim. I would rename them to Warrior Head, Warrior Standard, and Warrior Shield.'

i don't see where i have to rename them. which file do i rename? i click read data file and now i have all those bunch of files. which one to i rename?

[This message has been edited by rodolfo833 (edited 07-19-2009 @ 11:12 PM).]

Which unit are you starting from?

hero jason, like the guide

edit: i think i found my problem. i accidentally clicked textures2.bar to be read instead of textures.bar...silly me
