Scenario Editor

[FTWO]

I cannot build Home City Deck in Scenario Editor, is this a bug? When you go to Scenario, Home City Editor, and you should be able to Build Deck there but there are absolutely no Cards at all to choose from. Just the 3 default Decks.

Now I thought maybe if I get out of all that and go to my Home City itself and redo the default Decks with a more balanced Build, Save, then go back to see if the 3 default Decks in Scenario Editor were updated, that didn't change a thing.

Am I missing a step here or is this just another annoyance from Age of Empires III: DE?

It's a bug that already existed in the old edition. To fix it you had to change the level of the home city but now that you can't do that anymore since level doesn't affect cards, you can try going into Homecity Summary and changing the names, basically you need to reset the home city entirely to pick the cards. It sucks but Microsoft doesn't give a fluke about scenarios sadly.

I will try that. Thank you.

Ok, I went on AoE III to check your suggestion and, honestly... I'm not very familiar with AoE III anything. I was an AoE II guy, lol. But I thought maybe it was something simple to check out... but I haven't been able to see what you're suggesting I do. How do I get into Homecity Summery and change something. I can get in and change the name of the city and name of the person I "portray" but that's it. Can you give me step by step how to do this? Thank you. :)

Okay so normally you would simply change either the name of the Explorer or of the Home City and it would ask you for confirmation to reset the home city as show in the screenshot below:

Now, I've tried it again with some scenarios of mine to make sure I wasn't giving you bogus advice and it seems like this doesn't work with level 1 home cities, I tried one scenario with level 1 HCs and another one with level 131 HCs and only the level 131 HCs could be reset, this is probably because at level 1 there are no cards unlocked.

Problem is with this DE you just can't change the level at all, new scenarios will have HCs at level 1 I believe, so I don't know what you can do.

I think your only options are either editing xml files themselves which I have no clue how it's done or copy paste your scenario's age3yscn file into the original edition to make the HCs level 2+ there and then copy paste it back to the DE edition. It's a pain in the butt but Microsoft completely botched scenarios in this DE, and while you're at it make your music triggers if the original edition if you want specific music tracks in your scenarios because that doesn't work in the DE either.

Hello! I've always done this in AOE III! Unfortunately, I couldn't do it in Definitive Edition either. I don't know why they made that option worse.

but 1) you cant add africans and mexico
2) theres new cards for almost every civ now that isnt in the original aoe3
what if we change the lvl of the civ in aoe3de to 131 then do what @veelvo said?

Any news with this issue? I keep encountering this problem at some point after playtesting a scenario. At first I thought it only happened when testing it outside of the editor; but no.
