Other than that, there is usually no exact order in which they are played. The story of each campaign only concerns itself and has no relation to the story of any other.
Except Khotyan, who with the Genghis Khan Campaign, talks about mongol invasions at the same time and in the same place formerly covered by the Mongol Campaign.
The colors the player uses within each campaign are purely cosmetic. Or maybe you're talking about the colors used to indicate each Game Expansion.
It is the Swords next to the name of the campaigns that identify the difficulty of each one. But they are not very precise, some missions within the campaign always end up being more difficult than the media indicated by the Swords.
This is also a very common order for them to be played.
After william walace's campaign you should do the other tutorial, the Art of War campaign. It is an MP tutorial, but it will be very useful for SP as well
It works in a different way. All missions are released from the beginning, and you earn bronze, silver or gold medals according not to the difficulty (standard, moderate and hard) but according to the efficiency and speed with you meet the objectives.
They don't have a particular story order. Only William Wallace would be first, & that's if you want to start with him because his is a campaign to learn how to play.
I basically picked them randomly: it's the stories the ones that make the fun out of it. To this day I'm still crying because The Chakravartin died in peace u_u.

Generally speaking, all campaigns are the same, as in the first 1-4 missions tend to be relatively easy, with the last one or two being insanely difficult. That's mostly because the devs went for the unrelenting onslaught route on the final missions, where it is usually 2-4 enemies with cheated ressources that keep producing the same kind of unit compositions in high numbers at periodi intervals. This usually means you'll be on the backfoot from the getgo and need to fight and handle eco at the same time at a high level.
So, no, I don't think @Thor II is right on this one, all the campaigns become crazy hard, but almost none start out difficult.
Edit: No, scrap that. Atilla the Hun in DE plays worse than in previous Age2 versions. The laughable pathfinding ruins it 100%.
Also ignore the sword diffculty indicator icons. Just increase or lower diffculty setting as you go incase you run into a scenario too hard or too easy. It can be a bit inconsistent.
So how would be the order in case of easy to hardest difficulty? I still don't know what the purple, teal, green etc colors mean xD
-Red: It is the color of the base game Age of Kings. And Europe.
-Blue: It is the color of the first expansion, The Conquerors. And Asia.
Age of Empires II HD (2013):
-Green: It is the color of the first expasion of the HD version, The Forgotten. And America.
-Yellow: It is the color of the second expansion of the HD version, African Kingdoms. And Africa.
-Teal: It is the color of the third expansion of the HD version, Rise of The Rajas.
Age of Empires Definitive Edition:
-Purple: It is the color of the expansion that comes along with the DE, Last Khans.
It's hard to make a list like that. Mainly because with 27 campaigns, it would get a giant post. Opinions vary, it would be necessary to indicate why a mission with 1 Sword is considered difficult and one with 3 is considered easy, indicate that missions of each campaign make it difficult, among others.
As I said, after William Walace the best would be to do Art of War, the other tutorial. It's like a basic and general tutorial and another more advanced and specialized.
The campaign I consider easiest I think is Tamerlane. Then I find Joan of Arc quite easy, although some considered the last mission difficult (I don't know why). Genghis Khan is also easy despite some litle problems along the way.
Sry still learning the order xD
edit: I tried dos pilas & barbarossa and failed miserably lol
If you bought the game for single player only I recommend refunding if you still can. I also started with Barbarossa and the single player AI is so horrible that the whole campaign is unfun.
Dos Pila is really quite difficult. Barbarossa if you can build walls around your base and place castles and towers in the right places the 1st mission is easy.
