AGE 2024 discontinuity between editor and game

Age of Empires II: DE II - Modding
1

I’m trying to create some new units using AGE, and I’ve managed to figure out the process, but AOEII won’t load the units.

I created a mod folder and am saving there, and if I edit an existing unit, it works without issue. It’s just new units/techs/civs that won’t show up in the editor or in skirmishes, even if I do everything that the guides indicate I need to.

I’ve checked, and the “hide editor” flag is always off, and the unit has a unique name and ID. I turn on the data set before starting a new scenario, and an altered Archer will load, where a new Archer unit called Sniper will not.

Have you set up a string file?

I do not know what that is in this context, so probably not. I just followed the old AGE guide on AOK Heaven and modified it to the current AGE.
