Glest Advanced Engine (GAE) is an advanced mod involving the modification of the Glest engine. At this time, tentative plans still exist to integrate GAE back into Glest once it has achieved a portion of it's goals, has integrated all latest Glest features (such as lua scripting and all features currently in Glest 3.2 beta) and has stabilized. GAE may be downloaded here.
History

- Massive amount of new Lua commands with a dedicated Lua console.
- Improved unit levels system.
- Improved pathfinding for units.
- Subfactions
- New GUI
- Support for zipped mod files via Physfs
- Patrol, guard and autorepair skills.
- Multiple music tracks per faction.
- Many general bug fixes and improvements.
Guide
- The GAE Guide provides more of a guided tour through GAE's extended functionality
- The GAE Coding Conventions provides instructions for how to layout and modify/add code
- Joining the GAE team
Reference / Specification
- The GAE XML Specification gives examples of XML pages and explanations in XML comments.
- The GAE Reference examines each XML-configuration option more closely.
- The GAE Lua Reference provides details on the new Lua functions.

Developer Tips (not really sure where this would go):
- Put the dependencies folder at the same level as the branch folder, then multiple branches can be used with the same dependencies
- When you have checked out the branch, compile it before working on it (all branches should be compilable)
- Make the debug working directory the same as your Glest data directory so you can easily start the debugger in Visual Studio.

- subversion repository
- tracker

GAE-based mods
- Four path magitech: A faction mod extending upon the existing magitech. Since as of August 5, 2010, FPM is incomplete.
- Military: A fully built mod exclusive for GAE with many GAE features such as Patrolling, Guarding, tracking projectiles, and emanations. It was the first created complete mod for GAE.
