I am flabbergasted. A campaign world map, animated cutscenes in the ancient Greek style, full new custom units and buildings (hail Romae ad Bellum). This is fan freaking tastic 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

Whoa...Never imagined something like this for AOEII DE. This is quite creative and unique. I am glad that the devs are trying new things with the DLC rather than same old stuff. Though I still want east asian faction DLC I am glad to have this epic campaign style content. Maybe this will become someone's childhood favorite campaign just like OG AOE2 campaigns were for me.

@@ElvisCarrazana True but it was very clearly nothing more than a port of AoE1 meant to pander to Vietnam especially with the new civ being the Lac Viet. Plus it didn't really add that much to AoE2 compared to other DLCs except a new Roman civ.

THE CUTSCENE IS MORE LIKE TOTAL WAR.. NICE JOB, AOEII DE 🔥🔥🔥

[@Latinkon]

I was not expecting AoE to somehow reference _A Total War Saga: Troy._ Yet here we are. At this rate, I won't be surprised if they decide to do a bronze age DLC that _Total War: Pharaoh_ might be used as a possible reference point.

[@HawkknightXC88]

Wow! Age of Empires 2 has gotten even more better. I wasn't expecting a Greece Civilization with animated cutscenes, different unit types, buildings, and etc. Can't wait to head back into AOE2 now.

[@ersatzvitamin1]

If this sells, then we would see 30-year war, The Yoke of Tatar, Imjin War, etc.... kind of campaigns more and more

[@jonathan8564]

[@alanarunmavath6005]

Take my money now. Heartfelt thanks for making new campaigns. Nostalgia hits everytime i play. =

[@juanariel6421]

Please take the time to rescale and adapt the main troops from the base game in future updates. It's a bit strange to see European soldiers in Aztec barracks, which affects historical immersion. We’ve already seen that this can be done with trade carts, so why not do it with the soldiers as well? We kindly ask you to consider this- it would be an incredible improvement for the game!

[@ButtonBashOfficial]

At this point just put AOE2 Classic in the sidebar and make a new “AOE2 Extended” which radically alters each civ, splits a bunch up and gives each unique building and unit sets etc. The stuff people have been asking for.

[@trismegistus2881]

The relatively simple tech and unit trees are actually an asset of the game, although they are moving away from it.

Age of Empires 2 más vivo que nunca

[@matthewwhittall1205]

I'm wondering how Chronicles will develop in the future. See, some things I've wanted from AoE2 I don't know would be possible without making it no longer AoE2 (Splitting the Celts into two or three civs, for example. Or the Italians for that matter. Renaming the Britons the "English" and adding a new "Britons" civ, or an Anglo-Saxon civ, or something) Chronicles seems to be an answer to that problem. I'm excited to see what the future of Chronicles holds, and how (if at all) it will affect the main game. But I would also be happy if Chronicles remained it's own, separate thing - an Age of Empires 2.5, if you will.
