AOE comes with a file called "Death Match Carthage.ai", and the campaign "Fighting for Rome" includes a file by that name. (Here is the link to the campaign: http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=854)
I am curious why the campaign includes that file. To the best of my memory, it was practically the same as the one that came with the game. I thought that it was needed to play the campaign, so I saved it on top of the one that came with my game. But I forgot to make a backup and want to see if I can get it back. For example, is there a folder of original .ai files? It looks to me like the only way to do that is to reinstall the whole game.
SOLUTION:
The vanilla version of AOE does not come with "Death Match Carthage.ai" as I thought, because this is a ROR file. So I didn't save it on top of the DATA folder's file like I thought I had.

If you feel highly motivated to continue until you have a full campaign, and are sitting on the editor these days, wait until you have the campaign together. If you have doubts if you will have the energy to finish more than one scenario, consider uploading it as a standalone-scenario or one-scenario campaign.
