Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Return of Rome is an exciting expansion that introduces the Roman civilization as a playable faction, complete with unique units, technologies, and buildings that reflect Roman history. Players can dive into new campaigns that explore the rise and fall of Rome and engage in battles using the original sixteen civilizations from Age of Empires, alongside a new addition, the Lac Viet.
The expansion transforms Age of Empires into a sub-game within Age of Empires II, featuring new gameplay modes, including a fan-requested D3 Game Mode. There are three new fully voiced campaigns centered on historical figures:
1. Sargon of Akkad - Follow Sargon’s rise from cupbearer to leader of the Sumerians.
2. Pyrrhus of Epirus - Navigate the chaos of post-Alexander Greece while establishing yourself as a renowned general.
3. Trajan - Guide the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan as it faces a time of crisis.
Additionally, the expansion brings various quality-of-life improvements including enhanced AI, UI upgrades, and visual enhancements. Return of Rome enriches the classic experience, merging historical themes with engaging real-time strategy gameplay.
