I tried this utility. It works perfectly with my Steam version. In a few minutes it extracts all resources (it creates an ExtractedAssets folder next to the OldenEraExplorer.exe utility, about 1.5 GB in size). All images (portraits, spells, abilities, artifacts) are in PNG format.

Here is a translation of the text from the author's page.

How does it work?

The tool does not come with game content. When you run it, it:
  • Automatically finds the installed Steam.
  • Reads the game data JSON from <game>/*_Data/StreamingAssets/Core.zip.
  • Loads localization and script arguments from the game files.
  • Extracts textures and 3D models from the game's Unity asset bundles.
  • Runs the game's own scripting system to replace placeholders (e.g., {0} → real damage values).
  • Displays all content through a local web server.
You need to own the game itself — this tool simply makes browsing your own copy more convenient.
What can be viewed

10 data categories:
  • Units (Creatures) — stats, abilities, all attributes.
  • Heroes — portraits, starting attributes, specializations.
  • Creature abilities — passive and active, with full descriptions, rank, and cost.
  • Hero skills — skill trees, all levels, progression paths.
  • Hero subclasses — specialized hero classes, bonuses, unlock requirements.
  • Spells — combat spells and adventure map spells, all levels.
  • Artifacts — equipment bonuses, set effects.
  • Map objects — adventure map objects (resources, creature dwellings, etc.).
  • Buildings — town structures, their costs, construction requirements.
  • Faction laws — unique faction mechanics and unlockable bonuses.

Please note: GLB models exported from Unity do not include particle systems, visual effects (VFX), or complex shader effects. The models look close to the in-game ones, but things like glowing auras, fire/smoke particles, and similar effects will be missing.
