Worth Getting Sultan DLC?
Hi guys. I have the base game of AoE 4 installed, thinking about getting the Sultan DLC. Is it worth getting? Thoughts appreciated :)

Skirmishes have to be taken into an account as well, but not everyone likes skirmishes and I could understand why some people prefer campaigns over skirmishes. (Edit) The only argument that can be made against this is that apparently some people who gave Sultan's Ascend a negative review is because they do not like the campaign. As mentioned previously with myself personally I cannot even get past the first mission even on standard difficulty partially because of the crashes and partially because the first mission seems like it is too hard.

To me multiplayer is the game. You're a chess player that only plays chess puzzles, and there's nothing wrong with that, but chess is a strategy game. Maybe not the perfect analogy, but AoE4 seems very focused on multiplayer, so you're judging it based on what it's not. Like a League of Legends player that doesn't like the storytelling. Or a Minecraft player that doesn't like the graphics.

Just want to throw in, the vast majority of all RTS gamers, whether it's AoE, C&C, Warcraft or whatever are campaign players.
The Stormgate team shared a graph on Social Media on Day 1 of Stormgate's Early Access. 48 % played campaign whereas only 15 % versus (= ranked MP).

That's such a bad example. What did you expect people checking out Stormgate to jump into during the first few days? Multiplayer 1v1?

It's actually isn't, as it's no secret that the majority of RTS players love campaigns, no matter how MP orientated the game is.

But yes, MP players are the ones who play a game the longest.

I love how you always defend your bad takes with "no", without actually backing it up. "There is no secret" lmao
