I must say that I was disappointed at first but now, after seeing some videos on YouTube, I am positively surprised.
Rome at war was always my favorite mode for AoE2DE. It closed the gap between AoE1 and 2 and had good mechanics and many diverse civs.
Now its finally (partly) official and I can’t wait to see more (or lets say all of them) in the game.
We have now 3 and have 31 more to go. Please give us frequent additions, so we don’t have to wait 10 years ;).
I understand that this was a lot of work, but I hope that the basis is made and more Civs can be added quicker.
And of course dont forget the classical DLCs. There is more in China and Africa that want to be added.
