Since we’re on the subject of campaigns. Previously I made a few suggestions of Vlach\Romanian campaigns:
- With Micahel the Brave, right at the end of AoE2’s timeline.
Michael the Brave briefly united much of the future Romania under his rule. He routed the Turks at Călugăreni (where 10.000 Wallachians defated 100.000 Ottomans) and Giurgiu. In total he had 12 major battles. 9 wins, 3 loss and 1 assassination. Was outnumbered in all of his battles.
- Stephen the Great, Dracula’s cousin and in many was his polar opposite.
Dracula was very cruel, Stephen was a very religious person. But they were cousins and allies. And Stephen was more succesful than Dracula. He ruled for 47 years and had a total of 48 battles out of which he won 46. He defeated: Ottomans, Hungarians, Poles, Tattars and Wallachians. His only 2 defeats came at the hand of the Ottomans as you may have guessed it, in totally outnumbered battles.
- Bassarab & Bogdan, a story about how the first Romanian states came to be independent from Hungary. You play 3 missions as Bassarab and 3 missions as Bogdan. Unlike the other 2 possible campaigns, I have also made a script for the intro and outros of missions. Where a native Moldavian named Grigore Ureche narrates the “origin of his people” to Władysław IV in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Grigore Ureche was Moldavian chronicler who wrote on Moldavian history and spent time in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The intro narration could begin in 1633 at the start of the Polish-Ottoman War of 1633-1634. Knowing he will have to face the Wallachian and Moldavain troops who are loyal to the Ottomans, one of his advisors, Grigore Ureche, who is of Moldavian origin, starts telling him about the story of his people, how they became a free people.
