How to install scenario packs
Ones you have downloaded the scenario packs that you want you can add them to the game by extracting the content of a scenario pack zip to the scenario folder within the Penelope 1.2 folder.

I'll show you some screenshots. these will show you how to access the scenario's in the main menu.

(Press play to open the file explorer)

(Double click on ''Scenario'' to open the folder containing your downloaded scenarios)

(Select one of the scenario files to play them)

(Now you can play the quest.)

Thanks to Celeste project we can play again the AOE, included in cooperative mode, fully operational (except for a couple of details like the friends list).

Project Celeste (The actual revival of the AoEO we knew) is in it's early Alpha and soon the Greeks will be in an open beta
