Please allow us to reset campaign progress

With the upcoming DLC introducing a bunch of new skins and reworks of existing civs, can we PLEASE have an option to reset our campaign progress, basically getting a fresh start to the single player of the game? This used to be possible before, where you could just remove your locally saved profile while disabling cloud sync in Steam and then enabling it and syncing the fresh profile with the cloud.

Ever since they introduced syncing with Microsoft’s own servers in the game, the only way to (temporarily) reset campaign progress is to block a bunch of links using hosts editing, but then you face connectivity issues, including being unable to connect to multiplayer servers and the moment you revert the hosts file/remove the blocked links, the game syncs up again and updates your campaign progress to what is stored on Microsoft’s server side cloud save.

So yeah, can we get an option to reset campaign progress?

Yeah, how about an extreme mode for each level i think someone asked that. I think steam achievement is good to incentivize player to replay but its not visually integrated with the UI in the campaigns.

There is already such an option to start with a fresh SP.

Its called creating an additional steam account and launch the game with it …

That is most definitely not a solution. This was a problem that did not exist and was created by the developers when they started linking the single player aspect of this game with the cloud. Why should I have to create a new account just to reset campaign progress?

I agree. So every time you want to start fresh you have to create another Steam account?
How many Steam accounts are you going to make in the end?

We all want that reset put in. The resets they post online don’t work, and if you ever want to unlock everything again right away, just use the cheat codes like a scrub.

Search the web Developers. You’ll see an endless number of posts complaining about not having a reset.

Put the “RESET CAMPAIGN” option in the game.

I’m not against having a proper option to reset campaign completion, but why not just use pen and paper to keep track of which campaigns you’ve completed on your second run?

It’s like saying why play a game. Just watch it instead.
