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

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

I'd love some sort of replayable conquest mode like Rise of Nations or Dawn of War Dark Crusade. I'd get more value out of that instead of a campaign I will play once and never again. Bonus if there is a Co Op option.

I'd also be ok with this as long as like the capitols of each nation where unique and the ai didn't have pre built bases with just wave spawning... I mean like actual ai.

just campaign ? it needs more and more contents , but look what they done , no pressure, no competition, no playing games, just focusing on professional balance and eSports. For this game, single-player and non-professional players are completely unnecessary; they are seen as groups that won't bring any commercial value or benefits to the game. Furthermore, the DLC that was supposed to release in December this year has been delayed until 2025. Such a large company, yet with such terrible and slow production capacity. Age of Empires IV has no future at all, and in the end, the real winner will still be Age of Empires II. Let Age of Empires IV and its studio go to hell, since they obviously don't care about the players.

Age of Empires IV will completely fail next year. It will lack any fun or creativity. In the gaming environment of next year, Age of Empires IV will crash terribly, and no one will want to play it anymore. All of its game modes and gameplay are filled with a narrow and shallow dead end: eSports.

I wasn't aware that there was an announced AoE 4 DLC for 2024.

The DLC this year was for AoE3 and it has been delayed to next year. They just recently announced a new DLC for AoE4 coming 2025. I'd say let's just wait and see what's coming before going all fatalistic.

The Sultans Ascend campaign was OK. I mean it was enjoyable. Not historically accurate though... definitely an interpretation of history made for the ((modern audience)) basically "freeing slaves" from the "evil Christian demons" with MAMLUKES lol...
