About this mod Machine translation
Use the Age of Empires 4 map editor to customize your battles!
What's this?
Age of Empires 4 Content Editor will be your one-stop shop for customizing your game. Want to create your own highly specialized map? Want to hang out with a French knight downtrodden to the nth degree? With this tool at your fingertips, you get a complete say in how you play.
With the launch of Season 1, a beta version of the Age of Empires IV content editor will give you access to several customization options.
Make a map
Use carefully crafted maps to create your own custom maps for multiplayer, skirmishes, or custom games! A well-crafted map will be the easiest tool to use when customizing your match, containing terrain elements, wildlife, resources, units, and scripted events.
Difficulty level: Easy
Adjustment package
Customize and modify your unit's statistics with tweak packs! Using this tool, you can modify unit cost, speed, toughness, attack - and anything else that affects a unit's behavior.
Difficulty level: Easy
Generate map
Love how the map changes every time you play?
You can now make your own generated maps using the Age of Empires IV Content Editor beta. With the Generated Map mod you will be able to create randomly generated maps that conform to a set of rules of your choice while continuing to provide variation every time you play with our map generator. Get started using our templates and documentation, and when you're ready, test your programming skills when creating complex maps of your own!
Generated Maps allows you to create randomly generated maps for skirmishes or multiplayer games. It differs from handmade maps in that you create a scenario based on data to push the random map generator in a specific direction of your choosing.
Difficulty level: Medium
Game Mode
Game Mode is the ultimate way to script matches! This is for professional modders who require knowledge of Lua and SCAR (short for SCripting At Relic). Rewrite the fundamentals and change the behavior (i.e. victory conditions) - creating a completely different game in the engine!
Difficulty level: Hard

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
