How to Use

Unzip, run RTS Helper.exe, select the build order and start the game!

To edit and create build orders, you can read the documentation or open Tutorial build order and learn by modifing it.

The default app's location in screen may hide other game elements. For Age of Empires II the Control Groups Position mod is recommended to change the control groups position.

Help

It needs .NET Core 3.1 to run. It's usually dowloaded automatically, but if it isn't, download and install it manually from here and restart your computer. If still doesn't work, look if there's any update related to .NET Core that hasn't been installed in Windows Update. Also, try to run RTS Helper as administrator.

You can ask for help in the RTS Helper Discord Server.

Open Source

RTS Helper is written in C# and it's open source. If you want to check the code, visit the project github page.
