• <partition>:\Steam\steamapps\common\AoE2DE\resources\_common\campaign

This is what you should see:

• C:\Users\<username>\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\<your steam id>\resources\_common\campaign

If you cant find this location you can also go into in game editor section and click open scenario folder

Note: this will open your scenario folder when you have to go into campaign folder, move one folder up and you should see campaign folder.







And that's it, now you have campaign as separate scenario files. You can play them in multiplayer by choosing scenario map, you can also edit them like any other scenario.

Those scenarios were made for single player and for that reason ANY player will hear the dialogues.
All players will have same Objectives, Hints, and Scouts info.
Note: (Objectives still work only for player 1 as it should but you can see them in info tab)
Note: Only player 1 will see new live objectives tracker

• Important: All AI must be set to default Definitive Edition AI (AI). NOT HD Version (which is set by default when you load scenario as game host).
  
• Important: Don't set any alliances at game start, all aliances are set automaticly by triggers.
  
• Important: Don't change civilizations.

• Population is settings doesn't matter, it's set by triggers aswell.
  
• While you can mix human player and bots in a game don't put a AI as the player 1 (the one that was supposed to be human player) most of the triggers affect player 1 and often you have specific things to do that bot won't do and will freak out. You can put AI on any other player than 1.
  
• Run scenario in editor before to see what players have. In some scenarios Some players have just few soldiers that should rush and die or just single building that cant even create units so there is absolutely no reason to put human player on something like that.

Example game settings:



The best scenarios for playing are those where you were supposed as player 1 to protect allied player that so you can play in coop and protect each other.

For those who don't know, if 2 or more players choose same player number, both of them will play as player 1. This is for me the ultimate way to play campaigns with a friend.
Important: If you wanna do this first you must go edit scenario and add +1 player, dont change any options, just add 1 more player and save. This bonus slot have to pick same color as player 1 so you can play as a single color.
Note: This way of playing won't work in scenarios that have already 8 players slot taken. (which is only like 10% of scenarios).

In Single Player Campaign you can choose from 3 difficulty settings:

• Standard - Usually gives player 1 bonus techs, units or resources - Also sets AI to Standard
  
• Moderate - Usually doesn't give any bonuses - Also sets AI to Moderate
  
• Hard - Usually gives enemy bonus units or player 1 and his allies have less units or even sets time limits - Also sets AI to Hard

In Multiplayer all of those bonuses applies, you choose difficulty just by setting AI to Standard/Moderate/Hard.

Important: Don't set AI to hardest or extreme, even if you want game harder this will only make game easier because bonus units from Hard difficulty will never spawn.

Note: 1-5 are the ones that exist normally

6-9 probably were abandoned (yes sound doesn't work there):
