Age of Empires 1: Definitive Edition new features support

Required skills: Python

Difficulty: Medium

At the moment, the converter has basic support for the Age of Empires 1: Definitive Edition (DE1) release. The modpack generator reuses the converter for the original 1998 release (AoE1 + Rise of Rome). New features from DE1, e.g. walkable farms, still need to be supported. A lot of the new features were taken over from AoC, so you can probably reuse functionality from its conversion processor.

Additionally, not all of DE1's media formats (terrain textures, UI, particle effects, etc.) are exported yet. Adding those to the converter would be optional for now. The data conversion is much more important.
