How can I extract campaigns?
In the past, a program named 'campaign manager' extracted single player campaign as scenarios to make them editable in map editor. However, when I bought and installed definitive edition, I found that campaigns are in form of 'aoe2campaign' file or 'json', not original 'cpn' or 'cpx'. How can I extract campaigns in definitive edition to be editable in map editor?

To access the game's campaigns:
* Right click Aoe2 DE in your Steam Library
* Select Properties
* Go to the Local Files tab
* Select Browse Local Files...
* Navigate to resources/_common/campaign
The .aoe2campaign files are the campaign files you want.

Now from the main menu in Aoe2 DE:
* Select Editors
* Click Open Scenario Folder
* Go up one level, then select the campaign folder
* Paste the aoe2campaign files to this folder

Then the Campaign Editor in game will extract the scenario files for you.

So I try to do this but when I double click while doing "Open Scenario Folder" and select "campaign" instead of "scenario" in the file explorer, it asks me which app to open it with. ANy ideas on what to do here?

Oh, just saw this. Unfortunately it's not possible to extract the DLC scenarios. :'(

It was introduced in Hautevilles actually. You can set a looping condition to check if a unit is doing an action (in this case attacking), and then have an effect that increases a Variable. On a second trigger, when the variable hits a certain threshold, you can then modify the stats of the hero with Modify Attribute and reset the variable back to 0.

Note, one limitation is you can only set that condition for a pre-placed hero as you must select the hero to set the unit action trigger condition.
