Extract ResHack. Desktop will do, since no installation is required.

1. Go to your C:/Games/Sierra/Empire Earth (or AOC, both works) directory and look for a file called "language.dll" create a copy of that file, because if you replace it with an updated version (your modification) it cannot be brought back.

2. Open the ResHacker program you extracted and klick on the tab "File" select "Open..." search for your "language.dll" and the program will open it. In the white list you have two file symbols. "Dialogue" and "String Table" open "String table" and an enormous list of folders will appear.

3. Find what you want to edit! That's the most difficult part of the whole procedure. There are about one million folders and in each of them, there are 1-20 entries (maybe not a million, but quite a lot ).

4. Go to e.g. folder 73 and klick on the file 1033. In this case you can modify names of some ships.

5. When you are finished, klick on "Compile Script" save the file and move it back to your EE directory.

6. DONE. Enjoy playing EE without endless renaming units per trigger.
