Attila had high aspirations for a barbarian. The most famous of these were the Huns, and if you know only one name from that time period, you have probably heard of Attila. Rome was already waning when horde after horde of barbarian raiders started pouring out of the forests of Europe and the steppes of Asia. In some cases the differences in a scenario played on the easiest and most difficult settings are so extreme that it is almost worth playing the scenario both ways to see all the differences. The new difficulty level system in the Conquerors Expansion will ensure that casual gamers can finish any scenario in an hour or so, while hardcore fans should face some pretty titanic struggles. I particularly want to mention difficulty level, because we came to the conclusion that the AOK campaigns were probably too hard for many players.
We have learned a lot about storytelling, using triggers and difficulty level. I think that players will find all four campaigns to be better than those in Age of Kings. Thus, we have the Battles of the Conquerors-eight scenarios spotlighting battles such as Agincourt, Lepanto and Manzikert. As a fourth campaign, we brought to light an idea that had been kicking around since AOK: what to do with all those famous battles that were important in history, but not robust enough to support an entire campaign. In the end, we came up with three great names: Montezuma of the Aztecs, El Cid of the Spanish, and Attila the Hun. As we whittled this list down, we focused on those conflicts that would best show off the new civilizations, and which conquerors players would most want to portray. We kicked off the Age of Kings expansion pack with a long list of famous conquerors, all of whom could support great campaigns. It certainly looks impressive so far and as soon as we can dive into the preview copy we've received, we'll be able to give you our first impressions.Ĭampaigns In Age Of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion The fourth campaign is a collection of individual battles from the medieval period. Montezuma's up next driving the Spanish from Tenochtitlan. Next week we'll cover El Cid's defense of Spain. We'll start off with the Attila the Hun campaign which sees the player taking command of the Huns to invade Europe. Over the next four weeks, he'll feature a different one of the campaigns. The features are authored by Ensemble Studios Game Designer Greg Street. Well, we managed to weasel an overview of each of the expansion's four campaigns. "Where's the AOE2 Expansion preview?" "When are you going to do the preview?" "Why haven't you done a preview already?" For a solid month now we've been fielding questions from fans of Age of Empires II: Age of Kings.
