Return of Rome Launch Options

Here is a list of all the possible AoE2DE and Return of Rome Launch Options (thanks to kyriii). The ones that you’ll probably want to use is SKIPINTRO and DEBUGSPEEDS for speeding up testing of scenarios, campaigns, AI or Random Map.

How to use these:

Open your Steam library, then right click on AoE2DE, then select Properties. In the main tab at the bottom you should see an option called STARTUP OPTIONS, and a field below that where you can enter the launch parameter options:

Seperate each option with a space. Some launch options propably expect a parameter. Some just seem to be flags.
