5.0 out of 5 stars A must get book for Age Of Kings Map Making Fanatics!, 4 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Before I got this book I could not make any half-way decent scenarios for my friends. Before I got this book I did not know how to use the cool features of Map Editor. Now that I have this book I have more fun making my games then actually playing them! You learn so many cool techniques on how to make cutting-edge scenarios. BUY THIS BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars The All-You-Need-to-Know Toolkit, 3 May 2009
By Shawn R. Frank "Ace_v_petd" (Newark, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have a creative itch to make great scenarios and personalities for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings? Then the Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings - Official Scenario Design Toolkit is for you.

Anyone who has grown a little tired of the old Age of Empires II personalities and scenarios and has creative talent and ambition may have looked into using AOE's Scenario Editor to make new Scenarios and Campaigns. The more ambitious may have even looked in the "CPSB.doc" file to try and learn how to craft a superior AI opponent to play against. The problem with the CD documentation is that it is very bare-bones and it does not satisfy inquiring minds that wish to know more about specific features or commands.

Enter Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings - Official Scenario Design Toolkit, or simply the Toolkit from now on. The Toolkit is a book that covers nearly all the aspects of designing your own scenarios using the built in trigger system and takes you step-by-step through the process of creating the beginnings of a good AI script. The book is easy to understand and uses very clear examples to illustrate its points.

Inside the book is an included CD that has several scenario and personality examples, along with various pre-made resources for developers to use in their own creations. There are also reference materials that give more information about each trigger, rule, strategic number, etc. that you will use during development. Transferring these materials onto your PC is easy using the pre-packaged installer bundled on the CD.

What the Toolkit will not do is make you a master of developing campaigns and AI opponents. That, is up to you, but the Toolkit is the source for getting you started.
