Where can I find how to adapt a legacy map to DE?

Age of Empires III: DE III - Modding
1

Basically the title. I would like to adapt the legacy Orinoco map (TC farthest position to the river and natives) to DE (forest in the border).

I have TAD installed so looking for the original script shouldnt be an issue.

I havent done any modding before, so any advice would be appreciated.

TIA.

Easy
all you need to do is copy the map files, and pasten them here:

C:/Users/%UserName%/Games/Aoe3DE/Numbered Folder/Mods/Local/%Modname%/game/Randmaps

Paste the files there
Gratulatioins ! You created your very first mod, and can now enable it ingame.

I see, but if I want to change the natural resources to get the DE forest ring of treaty what I would have to do??

Or change the starting TC location of DE orinoco to the legacy one (in the corner instead of spread on the edges)

Well , for that you need to copy the file to the mod location
Right-click the .xs file and edit the code

Any guide to what I have to modify?

Or for general randmap creation tips??

But why? lol

The position was improved on DE

Here

AoM and AoE3 share the same engine, so it’s the same

There’s enough different tbh

Look up durokan’s workshop
