Here is my first POL-script. It installs Age of Empires 1 and patches it to 1.0c using the correct one of two language packs. I didn't read much of style instructions, so this script might have some ugly hacks. Sorry about them.
The game does not run very well. Sometimes loading of save games fails and texts at menus are completely black (on a dark background). I haven't found any ways to fix these problems, but at least now that I have this script, it might be easier in future.
