About

Welcome to Return of Rome, a new type of expansion pack which brings Age of Empires, the title that started it all, as a sub-game within Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Within this self-contained experience, you can challenge friends with the original sixteen Age of Empires civilizations — plus one brand-new Return of Rome exclusive civilization, the Lac Viet — and relive the triumph and trials of antiquity. This sub-game also allows you to battle your way across the ancient world with three new campaigns featuring conquerors, empire-builders, and gifted tacticians fighting desperately against fate! We will also be adding a limited selection of Age of Empires’ campaigns over time to keep the action going! As an additional bonus, the Romans will no longer be bound by time as they become a new playable civilization within Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, ready to battle in the new Age, and graduating to Ranked Play in a future update!

    Return of Rome ist wohl der merkwürdigste DLC, der mir je untergekommen ist. Das liegt an der Umsetzung, vor allem aber an der Ausrichtung. Im Plus-Test erkläre ich euch, warum die Erweiterung für die Definitive Edition von Age of Empires 2 zu Recht so manchen auf die Palme bringt. Aber auch, warum der DLC an und für sich gar nicht so schlecht ist, wie er teilweise gemacht wird.
