GAE, or the Glest Advanced Engine, expands heavily on Glest, giving it many new features. This page documents and explains these features in depth. Many features are available in all games, such as auto-return or selective faction loading, and are not mentioned here due to the fact they do not need documentation to implement in a mod. Basic XML experience will be required for many features.

Addons format
- Main article: Addons
The addons format is compatible with all versions of Glest, but in GAE, it has the advantage of not requiring the user to extract it. Instead, the supported zip or 7z archive can be placed in the addons folder in the user's glestae folder. This makes it easier to install mods, even complex mods that have many elements. An addons manager for GAE is under development.
