For completing all of the campaigns at least once on AoE: DE without cheating regardless of difficulty settings "yes" where I doubt that RoR will be returning back all of the original campaigns anyway; although, for me personally I prefer to play starting on standard difficulty usually instead of easy difficulty or harder difficulties and worth mentioning that AoE: DE campaigns seem like they are overall harder than RoR campaigns as well (and especially the Egyptian and Carthage campaigns where I could easily get gold on RoR dlc from my first attempt). Despite AoE; DE's mostly positive Steam rating I feel as if this game is mainly for casual gameplay instead of regular gameplay. For skirmishes and map editor for custom scenarios (although, I could understand why some people might like custom scenarios more from RoR than AoE: DE) important to keep in mind that you will have to use different strategies from AoE: DE than RoR skirmishes as well; although, it is worth mentioning that I have not used "sacrifice" yet from the temple and understandable as to why RoR dlc replaced this with theocracy. Also, AoE: DE is better for multiplayer than RoR dlc despite the fact that AoE: DE is the second least used multiplayer (including probably less people on multiplayer than AoE IV multiplayer despite its basegame costing twice as much as AoE: DE) with only RoR multiplayer being worse.

I have no idea, still pondering about that myself as mircosoft had apparently ditched AOE:DE for good. Feels bad they gave us the bird without getting a slap across the face.

Until they dont port all campaigns to AoE2 Returnof Rome i will stick with this one. When it is on sale it is well worth that 5 bucks (lot of good content)
It shame that devs abandoned it, it really need just few improvements to shine..
