Hello, I’m interested in starting to create my own mods for AOE DE, but I don’t have any knowledge about the topic yet. So what would you all people suggest to start with? Or should I learn something else before starting moding? like programming or something like that?

I think the answer depends on what kind of mods you want to make. I would start by downloading a similar type of mod (e.g. if you want to make a graphics mod, download a graphics mod) and have a look at the mod folder. Usually mods replace some of the game files (e.g. graphics or terrain files) or add some extra files (e.g. scenarios and random map scripts). Have a look at what type of files are in the folder, then look up how to edit/create that type of files.
As far as I know, no programming needed for at least most types of mod.

Yeah, what do you want to do? If its just replacing something graphically you dont need to do much (I mean you stillneded to make those new graphics, but its easy to include those graohics once you have them), if you want to change the balance of things, add new units, replace civilizations etc you need to use the AG3 editor which is installed with the game
