![]() It features four new civilizations from South Asia (the Bengalis, Dravidians, Gurjaras, and Hindustanis), by reworking and splitting the existing Indians civilization, three new campaigns (for Bengalis, Dravidians, and Tatars/Hindustani) and new achievements. On April 14, 2022, the third expansion was announced, Dynasties of India. In addition, new cooperative campaigns and Historical Battles were announced and have been gradually added since July 6, 2021. It features two new civilizations from Central and Eastern Europe (the Bohemians and the Poles), three new campaigns (for Poles, Bohemians, and Lithuanians) and new achievements. On April 13, 2021, the second expansion was announced, Dawn of the Dukes. It features two new civilizations based on historical kingdoms of western Europe (the Burgundians and the Sicilians), three new campaigns (for Burgundians, Sicilians, and Britons) and new achievements. On December 15, 2020, a new expansion was announced, Lords of the West. It also features an extensive rework of the campaigns of The Forgotten. It also includes the Enhanced Graphics Pack that increases the Definitive Edition to ultra-high fidelity resolution. It features a fully remastered soundtrack, multiple quality of life improvements, significant graphical upgrades, and includes all content from Age of Empires II: HD Edition and The Last Khans, an expansion that adds four new civilizations based on Central Asia (the Cumans and the Tatars) and Eastern Europe (the Bulgarians and the Lithuanians), and three new campaigns (for Tatars, Cumans, and Bulgarians). We've all played a better alternative priced at half the price.DE: The Last Khans DE: Lords of the West DE: Dawn of the Dukes DE: Dynasties of India DE: Return of Rome Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a remaster of Age of Empires II, released on November 14, 2019. The world has changed a great deal, so has technology. Decades later I'm a grown man that's experienced a whole world of exploration and excitement. But it's not worth even half its price tag, I'd maybe pay £10? I was at secondary school when AOE2 was released. I'd recommend you try if you have game pass on PC. We're talking tiny slithers, trade routes. A tiny fraction of what 3 innovated on, 4 has kept. It's not a bad game, because age of empires 2 isn't a bad game. They're tiny and you'll look over them immediately, because there is no impact. I just don't care enough about the changes. ![]() It strikes me that either the Devs forgot this was a sequel, or perhaps hoped to cash in on nostalgia before it's players discovered in the second hour of gameplay that this is just AOE2, with a little more shine, and hills. It's quite frankly a bit of a disappointing mess. ![]() You don't feel the ages as strongly either. Age of empires 4 feels like a village builder. Age of Empires 3 felt like it was trying to justify the Empire tag, with all its dark colonial exploitation. Age of Empires 2 felt like a game trying to reach for its grand title. But if I wanted a 20 year old strategy game then I'd play one. The graphics are okay, the presentation is okay, definitely reminds me of the history based games we saw 20 years ago. It's not a true sequel and lacks much of what I'd expect from a modern sequel. In reality it's a reimagining of the second game on the core series, AOE2.
