Every Single Scenario Version* from Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is SUPPORTED!

Support: 1.36 Version at Release (November 14th, 2019) → 1.56 Current Version (Since: October 14th, 2025)

Every single version of Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is supported*! If a new version of Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition just released, it can take a bit for it to be able to be read. Check the Discord Server for more up-to-date information if this is the case.

If you find a scenario which can be opened by the game itself, but results in an error when using AoE2ScenarioParser, please report it as an issue or in the #bug‑reports channel in the Discord Server.

*: All scenario versions are supported, though older structure versions of the same scenario version are not. For more context see this Discord post.

Features:

AoE2ScenarioParser allows you to edit anything inside a scenario. For general usability "managers" have been created to make working with the files easier. These managers allow you to quickly change aspects of units, triggers, the map, player data and more!

Below is a simplified overview of some of the features:

	Inspect	Add	Edit	Remove
Triggers	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️

*: You can disable or enable players like in the in-game editor (min 1, max 8).
*¹: There's no specific inspection function. Though, they can still be printed with clean formatting.
