Give me more of those! This is definitely the best DLC released so far, and the interesting campaigns are exactly what I'm looking for!
The devs have raised the bar in AoE2 campaigns.
This campaign is unlike anything we've seen in AoE before. You get the impression as if it was a completely new game. (...) I hope that we will see more such expansions in the future.
