So I bought the dlc rome. Hoping to get access to the original AOE. My favourite campaigns were the stone age simple times. I have since discovered you get 4 campaigns. That's very bad marketing, very misleading

Yeah, I think they could've done that one better, though I guess they had a variety of reasons why they didn't have those campaigns. Some things that just didn't work right because of it not being the AoEI engine.

But I don't recall specifics on that one, as I haven't paid a whole lot of attention, given that, despite having the Rome DLC, I haven't actually played the AoEI content, at all.

That said, I thought I recall some rumors about them working on porting over the original campaigns, so I wouldn't be surprised if you get those campaigns eventually.

But, yeah, not yet, and not something they mentioned specifically in this update, in any way. At least as far as I read.

Oh agree. You get 8 campaigns I think. But the dome ones aren't even the original. So I'm confused about it being original at all
