Age of Empires 4 campaigns are amazing, and from the moment you start playing them you can see their quality, but what wins the biggest prize are their cinematics and readings that remain at the end of the campaigns. That captures the essence of all Age of Empires, learning some history while playing an RTS game, as far as I’m concerned AGE4 has done it perfectly with their cinematics, however, the lack of campaigns is notable of the other remaining civilizations which are: Delhi, Abbasid, HRE, Chinese and now with the new civilizations of the Ottomans and Malians.
It is understood that making these cinematics has a very high cost, due to its incredible production and detail, but it would be a great detail if in the future they were adding the campaigns of the missing civilizations. It would be quite interesting to see those incredible cinematics of the cultures of other civilizations.
Personnally speaking, what I feel regret most is that we exactly have more exciting historical battles, but they are not included.
Just like Saladin regaining Jerusalem,and Richard the Lionheart participated in the Third Crusade, or Hulagu breaks through Baghdad.
Too many of them!
It would be quite interesting to have those battles within the campaigns, and to have them documented in the cinematics and in the gameplay, just as they did in the campaign of the Normans, Mongols, Rus and French. That is the quality that I would like to see in the following campaigns. I very much agree with your point.
Exactly, in AGE2 all the civilizations that I understand have a campaign. However, it should be noted that in AGE2 less funds are needed compared to making a campaign in AGE4 much more funds are required, for all the production that it entails. So it would be good if they were taking out at least 1 campaign a year or 2 if we see it with more greed hehe
It does have a ton of campaigns though since they’ve added them over the years. It started with only 5 and one of those was the tutorial.
Starcraft 1/2 has a campaign for every faction as does Warcraft 1/2/3 as do pretty much all of the Command and Conquer games. However those games all have only 2-4 factions total.
I agree that I’d like to see more campaigns in AoE4, with or without the extra cinematics. Historical battles would also be good and probably easier to add.
Honestly, new campaigns would be a good idea. If a campaign that features the Ottomans is to be added, I’d wait for that until the Byzantines are added to AoE4.
Agreed. Byzantines do need to be in AoE4 in order to have an Ottoman campaign. That’s why I suggested that we see an Ottoman campaign when the DLC that’s adding the Byzantines becomes a thing.
