In 2015, Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms was released, bringing the total number of civilizations to 27. It was coupled with more bug fixes, advanced AIs and balancing. It required the HD Edition to be installed first. It features 7 campaigns and 5 civilizations. It’s also available on subscription service Xbox Game Pass for PC.Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties ReviewĪbout 13 years after the previous expansion pack, Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten was released.

AI enemies are less likely to feel like they’re cheating, or worse, to behave self-destructively.ĪI has come a long way in the last two decades, and Definitive Edition’s improvements in this area really show.

In single-player mode, the game’s AI has been spruced up. Online play has also seen a lot of user interface improvements as well as a switch to server-based contests. The transition to playing real humans is now much smoother. Now, the transition from AI to human enemies is eased with a specific tutorial called Art of War, that can save a lot of dismal defeats online. There’s a bunch of hard lessons to learn about common strategies. Playing online is a totally different experience than playing computer-controlled opponents, almost to the point of being a different game.
