Rody One Half posted:AoE2 Definitive is an absurdly gigantic game, yes. I haven't gotten any of the expansions for it though, I don't think. It's only gotten bigger! Does AOE2 DE contain all the stuff from the 2013 HD's expansions?

Thanks! The steam store page has surprisingly little info on its contents

I'm re-playing the game and turns out I'd played through the Celtic tutorial campaign at some point but I had zero memory of it So I started the French campaign at the same time you did - the next mission was interesting! A bit more in depth, not on rails, but definitely railroaded imo.

Aces High posted:Henry V has been dead for almost a decade when Joan of Arc first appears in the history books. The Battle of Agincourt took place in 1415, Henry V dies in 1422, and Joan arrives in Vaucouleurs in 1428 to ask for an escort to Chinon. She was actually dismissed the first time, but then she came back at the beginning of 1429, this time being backed up by Jean de Metz and Bertrand de Poulengy (our two heroes), and then we're all caught up with the campaign. Does Gilles De Raise show up?

Played this mission myself last night and made a point to hunt down Fastalf's forces and they're like a cancer, his villagers spread to all points of the map to rebuild. One of his villagers built a TC underneath one of the enclosed english castles for safety. Really channeling the low elo "I don't lose until you've killed all of my buildings and units" mindset.

Finished that mission, it was my experience that Rheims immediately went batshit and threw everything at me the second I started crossing the river to Chalons, and they went batshit a second time when Chalons fell. I'm not sure if there's a "reinforcement wave" or something that the English get when you're closing in on Rheims but once I beat that second big wave, I just got reinforcements coming out of their base one at a time - they didn't try to mass. on a related note, the AI does NOT like monks converting their units, they disengage whatever target they're on immediately to target whatever monk is currently converting. E: The next map is mean, Level mechanic spoilers: stick that caravan guy somewhere safe because they enemy likes to snipe tithin fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Apr 2, 2023 |

Honestly? This one was extremely forgettable, I took out the end Burgundians with no issues. Paris was a cake walk.

The last mission was tricky for me, because both Shrewsbury and Burgundy south attacked from the very start that I had my base (both even going so far as to forward settle barracks and stables within sight of my walls - that didn't last long), and with such an awful economy at the start I was required to play defensive. By the time I had my economy in a decent state, my imperial age army had been worn down by attrition. Once I was able to build that back up and focus solely on Burgundy, the map became significantly easier.

Trusting Henry the Lion to come to your aid seems to be akin to trusting an AI not to try to kill you
