Finally, something more interesting is happening in AoE 2!
It is unknown if these achievements apply to RoR DLC, but most likely yes.
However, it seems to me that 36 new achievements for RoR DLC would be a small number of achievements after all. I would also prefer the achievements from the RoR DLC to be separate from AoE 2 (something like a separate game in the game?). It’s quite possible that these new achievements are part of a huge update that the developers have announced. It may also be that the work on RoR is too advanced and the developers have decided to release other DLCs for AoE 2 in the meantime - maybe those DLCs similar to Dynasties of India DLC.
Yup. I haven’t seen them mentioning to put the AoE 1 campaigns into AoE 2 - maybe they’ll add them via mods?
AoE 2 style campaigns with AoE 1 civs also seem very likely.
That’s slightly inaccurate. The new civs usually have 3 campaign achievements rather than 2 (in addition to the one for completing the campaign), so it’s 6 achievements per civ.
In addition, “tain n unique units of civ X” isn’t systematic, aside from DoI we had several achievements for using new mechanics rather than recruiting units (see “Fast Food”: Gather 500 food by constructing farms next to Folwarks as the Poles), but this one doesn’t change the count.
campaign clear achievements = 3
campaign flavor achievements = 3 each = 9
First Civilization Victory achievements = 16(aoe1) + 1(aoe2 roman) =17
total 29
The remaining 7 should be some flavor achievements for new systems and civ such as trade in RoR
Ok, yes I think it’s valid… But it would be strange to me that they take so many months of silence to only put 3 new campaigns, the 16 civs of the multiplayer and already… now you tell me, 3 100% new campaigns, the 10 original campaigns of 1 DE (through mods or in a separate launcher) and the 16 civs of multiplayer, there I see it more feasible … but until they say anything… Well, we only have to debate in the clouds…
You know that Macedon were greek even when they invaded Persia, right? Greeks were under Alexander yoke and that was the Hellenic empire. Even Empire Earth feature Alexander the Great in battle of Issus and Gaugamela
It wasn’t the decision of the original devs when they made Wonder of the World in the greek campaign. Then, FE could have allowed us to play the remade Wonder of the World with Macedons instead of Greek, but it doesn’t matter now.
Hmm… there are 36 new achievements and 36 campaigns in AoE II DE, coincidence? I think it’s probably not RoR DLC just new achievements for completing those campaigns in hard difficulty or above.
