# You can disable certain categories like:
# - exclude_elite_units
# - exclude_non_elite_units
# - exclude_castle_units  (From the castle building)
# - exclude_non_castle_units  (From anything but the castle building)
# Example:
all_unique_non_castle_non_elite_units = UnitInfo.unique_units(exclude_elite_units=True, exclude_castle_units=True)

### Get Tile by Coordinates or Index

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/cheatsheets/map

Provides methods to get a specific tile from the map using either its X and Y coordinates or its index in the one-dimensional terrain list.

```Python
map_manager.get_tile(x=5, y=8)  # Get tile at x5,y8
map_manager.get_tile(i=85)      # Get the 86th tile (0 based, 0 is the 1st tile, 1 is the second tile etc.)

### Starting Villagers and Resource Settings

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/api_docs/datasets/trigger_lists/attribute

Configures the initial number of villagers and starting resource amounts (food, wood, stone, gold) for players in Random Map Scenarios (RMS).

```APIDOC
STARTING_VILLAGERS = 84
    - Purpose: Number of starting villagers
    - Default Values:
        - 3:  Default
        - 4:  Mayans
        - 6:  Chinese
    - Note: Only works for RMS, changing this manually in the editor does nothing

STARTING_FOOD = 91
    - Purpose: Starting food amount
    - Note: Only works for RMS, changing this manually in the editor does nothing but its a way to check starting food amount

STARTING_WOOD = 92
    - Purpose: Starting wood amount
    - Note: Only works for RMS, changing this manually in the editor does nothing but its a way to check starting wood amount

STARTING_STONE = 93
    - Purpose: Starting stone amount
    - Note: Only works for RMS, changing this manually in the editor does nothing but its a way to check starting stone amount

STARTING_GOLD = 94
    - Purpose: Starting gold amount
    - Note: Only works for RMS, changing this manually in the editor does nothing but its a way to check starting gold amount
```

### AoE2Scenario Initialization and Callbacks

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/api_docs/aoe2_scenario

Handles the initialization of an AoE2Scenario object, including setting game versions, source locations, and registering callbacks for write operations. It also manages scenario metadata and actions.

```Python
class AoE2Scenario:
    def on_write(self, func: Func) -> Func:
        """Register a function to be called on write (intended to be used as a decorator)"""
        self._on_write_funcs.append(func)
        return func

    @property
    def scenario_version_tuple(self) -> tuple[int, ...]:
        return tuple(map(int, self.scenario_version.split('.')))

    def __init__(

            source_location: str,
            name: str,
            variant: ScenarioVariant | None = None
    ):
        # Scenario meta info
        self.game_version: str = game_version
        self.scenario_version: str = scenario_version
        self.source_location: str = source_location
        self._variant: ScenarioVariant | None = variant
        self._time_start: float = time.time()

        # Actual scenario content
        self.structure: Dict = {}
        self.sections: Dict[str, AoE2FileSection] = {}

        self.name: str = name
        self.uuid: UUID = uuid4()
        store.register_scenario(self)

        # Actions through the scenario
        self.new: ObjectFactory = ObjectFactory(self.uuid)
        self.actions: ScenarioActions = ScenarioActions(self.uuid)

        # Used in debug functions
        self._file = None
        self._file_header = None
        self._decompressed_file_data = None

    Parameters:
      settings_path: Optional path to a settings file.

  load_settings(settings_path: str)
    Loads settings from a specified file.

  get_setting(key: str, default: any = None) -> any
    Retrieves a specific setting by its key.
    Parameters:
      key: The key of the setting to retrieve.
      default: The default value to return if the key is not found.
    Returns: The value of the setting.

  set_setting(key: str, value: any)
    Sets a specific setting.
    Parameters:

### AoE2 Scenario Parser Trigger Examples

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/examples/triggers

Examples demonstrating how to manipulate triggers within AoE2 scenarios using the parser. Includes functionalities like replacing sound names and importing triggers from other scenarios.

```Python
# Example: Replace all sound names with a specific name
# parser.triggers.replace_sound_names('new_sound.wav')

# Example: Importing all triggers from another scenario
# parser.triggers.import_triggers('path/to/other_scenario.aoe2scenario')

### Set Default Starting Resources

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/api_docs/player/player_manager

Sets the default starting resources (food, wood, gold, stone) for specified players or all players. It includes a warning that this method does not account for civilization-specific bonuses.

```Python
def set_default_starting_resources(self, players: List[PlayerId] = None) -> None:
        """
        Sets the default starting resources for all players

        Warning: Does NOT take civilizations into account
            This does not take the current selected civ of this player into account. For example, a player with the
            Chinese civ selected will still be set to 200 food. Generally speaking, it's recommended to not use this for
            competitive, normal play. You can select `low` resources in the lobby menu to get 'normal' resources for
            every civ.

        Args:
            players: A list of players, defaults to all players (incl GAIA) when left out
        """
        if players is None:
            players = PlayerId.all()
        for player in players:
            self.players[player].food = 200
            self.players[player].wood = 200
            self.players[player].gold = 100
            self.players[player].stone = 200

### Get Villager Units

Source: https://ksneijders.github.io/AoE2ScenarioParser/api_docs/datasets/units

Retrieves a list of villager units, with options to exclude female or male villagers. This function categorizes villagers by gender and provides a clean way to get specific villager types.

```python
