Compatibility with other standard text files #6

Could the tool support same format as is used by Age of Empires II HD?

// random map names
10914 "Acropolis"
10915 "Budapest"
10916 "Cenotes"
10917 "City of Lakes"
10918 "Golden Pit"
10919 "Hideout"
10920 "Hill Fort"
10921 "Lombardia"

Is there specific reason for the file type being ini instead of txt?

The current format matches the one voobly uses for modded language files.

I've wanted to add support for utf8 encoded files, which would break compatibility with voobly files. Adding support for HD-style Unicode files could be a way to do that without breaking compat.
