I love the original age of empires. However i always was more of a campaign-single player guy than a multiplayer one ( i sucked online lol ). I have played all of the old campigns and enjoyed them so much. However, once in a while, i encountered a scenario that i could not defeat in any way on the higher difficulties: for example the babylonian Great Hunt and Niniveh scenarios kicked my a\*\* several times. Especially the first one was just nearly impossible. And you? What was your “impossible” scenario? ---

I always found Ctesiphon really really difficult for some reason ---

I hope we will get all of those great campaigns again! I’m so eager to see them. And I’m curious if the game will perhaps include new campaigns or give a chance for developers to add new campaigns like they’ve been doing on aoe2 in steam, that would be quite interesting and opens a world ofmpssibilities a new campaigns of the era that could be added!! Hopefully just as difficult as those impossible scenarios ---

I loved the one where you started only with one priest, one of the first campaigns I think. ---

> @MereBracelet440 said: > I loved the one where you started only with one priest, one of the first campaigns I think. Yeah. The voices of Babylon - Holy man. Really cool mission. Overplayed that one a lot of times. The most impossible mission for me was Phyrrhus of Ephirus on hard mode. I never got passed that one somehow. ---

> @MereBracelet440 said: > I loved the one where you started only with one priest, one of the first campaigns I think. I just played that one Yesterday. I was at a friends House and his little brother didn’t know Age of Empires. So I showed him this small mission. Took me about 45min, after I failed the first attempt in a matter of seconds. ---

Since I played the game at release, when I was 7, every scenario was very hard -if not impossible- for me to complete (except the tutorial campaign, with the Egyptians, which I loved). If I had to pick one though would be Land Grab, the first scenario of the Greek campaign: I got annihilated by the reds in a matter of minutes. 😟 ---

Yes. Same one. But they’ll eventually build a dock in it. If you don’t kill the yellow player as I did back then. With ‘navy’ I meant 2 galleys or so 😛 ---
