Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Lords of the West - レビュー・評価・同時接続数

Sometimes seems to be strange to play as enemy of old main character, especially against St.Joan and Wallace. Though the stories of Grand Duke and English King are heroic to taste.

Age of Empires II - Lords of the West Wonderful Campaigns with Great Storytelling Really worth getting as part of a discounted bundle! Lords of the West was the first expansion released for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. This DLC features three new campaigns centered around historical figures that had not previously been explored in the series, with stories shaped by betrayals, political intrigue, and struggles for power in Europe. One of the expansion's greatest strengths is how its campaigns connect with the original ones by placing the player in the role of the antagonists of some of its classic stories. For example, Edward Longshanks presents the English perspective against William Wallace, while The Grand Dukes of the West explores the Burgundian side of the conflict surrounding Joan of Arc through the character of Philip the Good. This DLC revisits these historical events from the perspective of the opposing rulers and armies, with a revisionist perspective of the conflicts that had previously been portrayed in the game from only one side. It is an expansion that is absolutely worth playing for anyone interested in experiencing campaigns with stories that feel very much similar to those of the original game. Edward Longshanks' Edward Longshanks' campaign is the most remarkable of the three, it has many challenging scenarios with creative objectives and missions, ranging from defending castle builders in Scotland to protecting Crusader cities in the Holy Land and taking part in the siege of the Stirling Castle. In my opinion, it is one of the most enjoyable campaigns to experience in the game on the highest difficulty because of how demanding it can be and the satisfaction that brings from finally overcoming its latest missions. The storytelling of this campaign is brilliantly narrated from the perspective of Edward II, the king's own son, reflecting the brutality that characterized the English campaigns against the peoples of the British Isles. The Grand Dukes of the West This campaign offers a fairly easy game experience, even on the highest difficulty, mainly because most of its scenarios allow alliances to be formed with other French factions that constantly provide resources and military support while also serving as a distraction for the enemy armies. The campaign's story is very well crafted, with a clear and detailed narrative explaining who the Burgundians were and the historical context of France during the Hundred Years' War. The Hautevilles On the other hand, The Hautevilles can be a very challenging campaign when approached as intended by its design, although many of its scenarios can also be approached through very aggressive strategies and early rushes against main objectives, such as eliminating enemy commanders or destroying castles. It is also the campaign that offers the most freedom in how missions can be tackled, introducing basic game decisions that influence the course of the scenarios and that can even change their objectives based on the choices made.
