....it’s been an incredible journey to see what Age of Empires II: HD Edition has become. I think the future looks brighter still, for the sun never truly sets on a classic.

I really like that this awesome game keeps getting better.

Make it mod friendly. That will ensure it will still be played 10 years from now.

Announced: expansion civs
Age of Empires II HD – Dev Blog #1 – New Civilizations

The Berbers (~700 AD) are the first African civilization to be seen in the new expansion pack. We caught a glimpse of them in the original El Cid campaigns in “The Conquerors”, where they are portrayed in a more generic term as Saracens. Berbers, however, are more than worthy of becoming an Age of Empires civilization. With dynasties across Northern Africa, the ancient Berbers will primarily be a Cavalry & Naval civilization. They’ll have 2 unique units and will also feature a unique technology that affects the entire team.

Age of Empires 2 is quietly having an incredible year

Both versions of Age of Empires 2 sit in the top 100 games on Steam, with the Definitive Edition sitting at #25. Combined, however, the Age of Empires community on average pushes up to the #15 spot—or higher, on peak player count days.
