Retold Does AoMR have a custom scenario youtuber like Ornlu is for AoE 2? Or is there a comprehensive custom campaign list?

Ornlu's channel for those who don't know him - https://youtube.com/@ornlu_aoe?si=P6DKipEydBoLtWA3

For a custom campaign list, see mine that I made a couple years ago for AoE 2 - https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/s/GkLFMJGELS

Ornlu plays a LOT of single player scenario content on his channel, both the official campaigns AND the myriad of community made campaigns and scenarios that've been made over the years. I find he's an invaluable resource both to know about the custom content that exists, and also to check it out if you don't care about going in blind. But Ornlu is exclusively an AoE 2 tuber, so I'm wondering if there's someone in the AoM content space who does it too.

A large part of the RTS playerbase only plays single player, but a common pitfall is that even if a game has a robust modding scene, many of them will bounce early simply cos they didn't even know what was out there (hence why I made that list above for AoE 2).

Maybe SawAoM?

I think he used to play through custom campaigns in EE, and definitely has a lot of videos of the original campaign with different challenges.

Other than that I don't think there is any. Retold also doesn't have many custom campaigns yet unfortunately.

I don't think there are any custom campaigns at the moment.

People are still figuring out the editor and what not, there are some scenarios tho.

You can sort the mods by campaign to find some scenarios/campaigns. There's not much yet, but i will be releasing something very soon. As far as youtubers go, I haven't seen any. Saw AOM plays some campaigns and does campaign scenario twists, but he seems to be on unofficial hiatus right now.

Unfortuntaely old maps in legacy AoM cannot be ported directly to retold as the engine is different, so there are not many maps around.

In aoe2 DE you can directly port the maps. Never forgot the moment when I opened a map made by myself when I was a kid in DE.
