I think most of us remember AoC / HD / WK Infosheet created by Jineapple. Personally, I used to refer to it quite a lot back in the day – partly because of its neat design, partly because I didn’t know Advanced Genie Editor (AGE) existed and is quite a handy tool to use. I have delved into AoE II mechanics and stats recently and, using AGE and Scenario Editor, decided to update this masterpiece for DE, given the source tables and docs of the original Infosheet are openly available and the author’s permission has been granted.
Note, btw, that Improved Extended Tooltip mod (created alongside with the original Infosheet back in the HD days) has already been updated for DE by harooooo.
Infosheet as a whole (PDF + additional info) is published as a Steam guide. PDF part of the Infosheet is available as an attachment to this thread and in a Google Drive folder, alongside with source Google Doc formatting I use to generate the PDF with. Several gameplay mechanics (hidden effects, some damage calculations, monk mechanics etc.) are described in ‘Auxiliary Info’ sections in a Steam guide contents.
On a screenshot below, an example entry from the Infosheet (Unit Chart) is presented (Update 51737 screenshot):
In addition to updating Infosheet to the current DE state (last updated to Update 56005 / Dawn of the Dukes DLC, November 18, 2021), I also made a few design changes:

In addition to updating Infosheet to the current DE state (last updated to Update 56005 / Dawn of the Dukes DLC, November 18, 2021), I also made a few design changes:
- Rates and times are mentioned together where possible (Civ and Tech Sheets) to avoid confusion;
- Added my own speculations about several ‘technical’ details – both in auxiliary info and the Unit Chart;
- Updated Legend for Unit Chart adding more variables;
- Auxiliary info about game mechanics was updated. Unmodified lines from the original guide are put into “quotes”;
- Extracted gather rates to a separate chart. Aside for farming and trade rates, they are all theoretical / coded values;
- Several useful articles/posts/videos were added as ‘further reading’ material in ‘External Links’ section of Steam guide.
