AoEDE In-game Tech Tree[]

Produced by merging multiple screenshots of the long tech tree into one single image, displaying a complete tech tree of each civ in one go.

Fan-made A3 Booklet[]

Above images cropped to suit the size of 2x Horzontal A3 for each civ, easy printing!

With dedicated scenario showcasing all available units of each civ.

The swapped version goes one step further to swap the position of the Dock with the Storage Pit, so that all military units are placed next to each other, making compare & contrast even easier.
