200 hour long campaign?

"Explore all the original campaigns like never before as well as the best-selling expansions, spanning over 200 hours of gameplay..." - That's what's written on steam page, is this true?

-Yes there is a lot of campaign content.

Plus there are 5 - 8 missions per campaign, which makes it an even more interesting and time-consuming (in a good way!) game.
Not to forget that the campaigns are a great way to get to know your civilisations better.

Well right now in Age of Empires (2013) there are 22 campaigns (correct me if I'm to stupid to count). As DE includes 3 new factions into the game we could simply say it'll probably have 25 different campaigns. This would mean you'd have to finish each campaign within 8 hours to reach 200 hours of game time. Depending on skill level and the selected difficulty I'd expect a lot of people to take longer than 200 hours while some will do it in less. Also gotta count for all the restarts you'll have since you carelessly let your hero die... AGAIN.
200 hours sound reasonable to me. If anyone wants to look into the actual count of games within all campaigns, feel free to do it.

Edit: It'll have 35 civs and 27 campaigns. Math is slithly off now but you get the picture.

Hey there, a player who's done all campaigns in the AoE II (2013) on the hardest difficulty here!

Can't say precisely, but - completing all those campaigns took me roughly 150hrs.
Plus another 100hrs on messing around and replaying maps I loved with different units. It is hell lots of content.

AoE II is my current game with highest hrs on record (462hrs :D ), and it's very likely I will spend at least half of that time in the Definitive Edition. *_* Can't wait!

My most played game is Crusader Kings 2 with almost 1,900 hours

But the AoE 2 HD campaigns are not a good comparison for how long the DE campaigns will take. In AoE 2 HD the campaigns take longer because the AI is so overtuned to be a beast and make your life difficult as hell.

In the original game the campaigns were nowhere near as difficult as the HD version and could be completed much quicker.
