It's recommended to use the unofficial expansion Forgotten Empires as it brings some quality of life improvements such as higher unit counts, support for native widescreen resolutions, and higher frame rates.

Install Script
Names are encoded in a compressed `player.nfz` file. This is potentially different for older versions of the game. They cannot be changed without running into corruption issues. Removing the file and replacing it with a copy that has no profiles forces the player to create a profile when going into multiplayer.
