My lasting memory of the AoE2 campaigns is that La Hire wishes to kill something. Awesome game regardless, there's an alternate history where I have a slightly better grasp of the internet in 2000 (or slightly better internet at home) and I become an RTS person thanks to this and Starcraft.

E: oh also Return of Rome, which is apparently them putting AoE1 stuff in 2. 9!

I secretly like AoE1 more than 2 so this is good to hear, thanks!

The blood on La Hire's sword is almost dry!

Which is why we need to do Joan of Arc next.

Is the tiny island with a Cathedral on it supposed to represent Notre Dame?

There's a statue of Joan of Arc where I live in the US, I've never asked why it's there but it looks cool. The actual legend is a fun story and that's good enough for me.

It's a monastery, and yes.

Really running into scale issues there.

Monastery! That's the unit name I was trying to think of. Thanks.

This is the only thing that I know about competitive AoE2 (oh God it's almost a decade old)

I'm way into upgrades myself. You mean I can spend these resources and make ALL of my units better? And they still cost the same? It'd be stupid not to! (has a dozen military units total)

Update may or may not be happening tonight due to some real life stuff. In the meantime, here's the official release trailer for Return of Rome that dropped today:

Consider the following:

- They just fully gave up on AoE I Definitive Edition, here it is in AoE II instead with a few additional modern gameplay tweaks.
- Please enjoy your bonus classical era Vietnamese civilization.
- No, you can't just have the Huns face the Babylonians or whatever, they're two entirely separate experiences.
- Unless you're the Romans, in which case please enjoy your bonus medieval era Roman civilization which we definitely didn't already h... *gets trampled by Cataphracts*
- Please enjoy your bonus classical era Vietnamese game mode.
- 3 new campaigns (Sargon of Akkad, Pyrrhus of Epirus, Trajan).
- Will the old campaigns be coming back too? �\_(ツ)_/�

Awww I liked AoE 1

Though I guess I didn't play the DE all that much for whatever reason. Guess I better grab AoE 2 DE...

I rarely ever used the Koreans in this game, but I have to shout them out for being the descendants of my favorite AoE 1 faction (Choson)

As for where to go next, El Cid

I like that the Buddhist monks give you Atheism if you do that sidequest for them. They don't seem to be very good monks then!
