The error say's row 2596. That is where I found the error "attachmentname". Count was 141 instances that needed fixing.
Next came an error: Could not find production rule:buyCaveman. The <production> area is not right. I would remove the whole area <production> through </production> and recopy from Age of Tribes xml.
Cheers...
@ted-self
Thats is my bad 
</attachment List>
should be
</attachmentList>
that is without the space before the L
@ted-self OK mass confusion set in for a few minutes there and I think I had an older file uploaded to https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea
Anyhow I corrected spelling on attachmentname and attachement List Now my latest attempt is uploaded and I get this error in xml copy editor 
and this error when trying to launch. I have the latest version of triplea. 
@ted-self oh wait, I just saw the latest post from the dog, let me try again.
@ted-self OK I made it this far, further than before! 
@ted-self That means you have buyCaveman in production frontier, but don't have a production rule called buyCaveman. This can be a capitalization issue.
@rogercooper Arrgg now it says could not find resource:Tech the latest xml is at https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea SOS
@wc_sumpton it is listed.
@ted-self You know, a couple of things just hit me. I had been using the primeval xml from the age of tribes master zip, and maybe I should have been using the age of tribes xml from the age of tribes zip. It is the one I have been playing recently that works, perhaps because I accidently screwed the other one up. Anyhow, the xmls from the alexander world map, the age of tribes zip and my latest attempt to combine the two are at https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea My brain is in a bit of overdrive fatigue right now if anyone would care to take a stab at it.
Tried using Alexander350 and Age of Tribes: Primeval:

@wc_sumpton What am I looking at here? What software is it?
I attempted the merger, as I understood you were doing. What is presented is the comment section at the top of the xml. There is no special software, I just used a 'code box' to highlight the xml from normal entry.
Cheers...
@wc_sumpton Still confused, is it from notepad++ or the built in triplea game maker? I am starting to wonder if I should just start from scratch and use triplea map creator part 2? Also thanks to you and everyone trying to help and happy 4th of July to you all.
@ted-self It easier to fix issues than to start from scratch. I have fixed many scenarios, if you keeping on plugging away the issues, you can fix them. Try to use an editor that understands XML syntax.
The different age of tribes XML's only differ in their setup, so it doesn't matter which one you use.
If you are getting frustrated at this, try modifying an existing XML to get a better feel for the process.
@wc_sumpton How did you get notepad++ to attempt the merger? Did the error list just appear at the top of the page?
@rogercooper Mr. Cooper, I have been stumped on this latest error message when I try to launch the game for almost 2 days now.
XML Copy editor is no help because it claims the xml is well formed. Please have a look at the AgeWorld.xml at https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea/tree/main Thanks in advance.
Notepad++ is just a text editor, and cannot merge xml's. The section not wanted are deleted. The section that are wanted are copied and pasted. What I did was probably the same thing that you did, documenting the steps I preformed at the top of the xml.
Cheers...
