Download Notepad ++, search google for it.

Look in the scenario's in the Glest folder. C:/Program Files/Glest 3.22/scenarios/storming and look at the code
you can also look at the tutorials in the Glest folder too. Just learn how they did it. It took me a while.

there are two types of scenarios:

1) The simple scenario is basically only a normal game setup.
2) Scripted scenarios are much more complicated and you'll need some programming skills ( but its not too hard to learn )

I think its best when you start with type1.
Open the xml-file of an exsiting scenario using an editor of your choice ( the editor Notepad is in cluded in Windows but everything else is better ).
Look at its content and you will quickly understand how to do it. A good scenario to look at is "one_hope" .

If you want to learn advanced scripting for  scenarios you can download my daemon forest scenario and open it with G-edit or notepad and look at what is written down.

its very simple to start doing scenarios with custom starting availabilities, i think thats the most easy way to learn it. Then start with custom events and custom victory conditions;)
