The new DLC for AOE2 is exactly what AOE 4 needs badly.

[WarMaster GoreHowl]

A huge campaign DLC that has an actual GOOD campaign. The abassid one is trash in the latest DLC. Just make some damn good campaign mission with actual AI its really not that hard. Hell even just copy and paste some AOE 2 campaigns into this

problem is with playerbase, will they receive a campaign-focused dlc well or they will rage because it wasn't about pvp?

The AoE series traditionally is both and it would be a bad move for Age 4 to "deny" its roots.

5 campaigns 3 years into release

AoE 2 has over 30 now

wtf is wrong with devs....

I would say, that even the "classic" RTS genre (Warcraft, Starcraft, Command&Conquer etc..) in general is traditionally both Singleplayer and Multiplayer

Yea, especially C&C with its trademark FMV cutscenes.

I would "highlight" Starcraft, many people "blame" Starcraft for e-sport and multiplayer, and it has best SP campaigns - Starcraft 1 has best sci-fi horror / space opera story and Starcraft 2 has best designated SP campaign within RTS genre IMO

The point is, that expansion should not solely focus on Singleplayer or Multiplayer.

It should add solid SP / Co-Op campaign and new civilisations for multiplayer / skirmish. Simple.

Chronicles: Battle for Greece is really good, I would say , one of best campaign in Age of Empires serries in general. Yes, they should use this concept/ production for AoE4

The Sultans Ascend has good and interesting campaign, but it has very specific mission design, the developers did not use "classic" "build & destroy" missions, but experiment with unique ideas... which is interesting, but not best AoE game

I would rework AoE2 Mali campaign into AoE4...

Anyway, AoE2 has a lot of campaigns, but not the best, most of the are badly balanced - same missions are too easy or too hard. You can notice, that AoE2 has very low % for campaign completion.

You mean what YOU need badly. AoE4 is doing fine.
