In Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, there are some Three Kingdoms heroes, such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Lu Bu. I feel their damage is a bit low, and I want to dynamically modify them using certain conditions to achieve an upgrade-like effect. However, I discovered that when they use their skills, they transform into another unit that doesn’t exist in the editor. So, I don’t know how to modify them. Is there any way to do this?
Yes, there is. Some of the 3K heroes do indeed become different units when they use their abilities. But Modify Attribute and certain other trigger effects allow you to enter any unit’s ID, including those of the hidden ones.
To find out the IDs you need, there is a program called AGE (Advanced Genie Edtior). If you have the Steam version, it can be found in this directory by default:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\Tools_Builds
The special forms of the 3K campaign heroes all have “(CHARGE)” in their internal names. These are their IDs:
- 2061 - Lü Bu
- 2063 - Sun Quan
- 2064 - Guan Yu
- 2065 - Sun Jian
- 2066 - Liu Bei
