Any reason, why there is no Persian campaign?

[Deso.]

Just curious, i've finished today Bukhara mission and this is once, where you play as Persians.

Bukhara is one of the hardest scenarios in Age of Empires II. They should have a Persian campaign with some slightly easier scenarios where Elite War Elephants could shine. They are stronger than the Southeast Asian variant and can take more arrow fire.

It can be pretty tough to fend off the Mongol deathball push with mangu+siege onager+ram+light cav. I got a fairly decent video playing it on hard

there is also a twist at the end which can be tricky if you are not expecting it to happen

Same reason why there is no Magyars, Chinese, Turks, Mayans, Vikings, Koreans campaigns.

They just never got around to them.

It is a very hard build-&-destroy mission, however.
Specially once the norther Turks betray you, and you get double teamed by opponents with infinite resources.

For what it's worth, most of those have one or more levels with those. With the one off battles and what not, conquerors I think it's called or something.

The devs have slowly been adding campaigns for old civs that never got them. We finally got a Britons campaign with LotW, and we got a Lithuanian campaign with DotD. My hope is that we'll get a Persian campaign added alongside a DLC that introduces civs like Armenia and Georgia. And after that maybe we could get a DLC for Tibet and the Jurchens that adds a Chinese and/or Korean campaign.

I finished this on hard but only on HD not DE. It was definitely a pain since the mongols had infinite resource and an already built production line. I stalled them with using TCs as castles and some towers until I had a decent army. Using hit and run with light cav to the TC and back, TC filled with archers. By the time I got to the turks I had already weakend them with light cav raids at the mills/gold mines, before allying.

that would be epic. Maybe they will do it after they finish fixing the main issues on AoE 4

Wait... Actually Wikings got thier some factions like Greenland etc? Winland Sagas got Greenland vikings.

A bunch of the OG civs never got full campaigns, but the Persians were the only onese that had no official content up to the HD re-release and The Forgotten expansion.

Persians also don't get a ton of love from custom scenario community; I'd recommend checking out the "Apranik" campaign from the mods database if you want a really well-made Persian campaign.

I kinda want multiple campaigns of some civilizations. The ones that really blossomed for long periods of time. The campaigns could be set around different points in their history.

The Byzantines were a break away from the original Roman empire. Would be fun to play out some of their spats with roving hordes and old eastern nations at different points after they broke away from Rome. It wasn't just the huns they had interesting encounters with.

Persians have a boat load of history to them as well. A campaign based on their rise to power would be great.

and whut about some of Britains spats with France and Spain during the renaissance? That would be f'ing epic. There's so much to choose from, devs got no excuses to stop making new campaigns >: ] I'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ buy them dlcs too so long as there's two or three campaigns for each one.

Actually the whole Joan of Arc campaign revolves around franks fighting the britons. Well, you're the one with the franks. And there was a campaign, not sure where it was, I think it was either Hastings or Agincourt, either way, you should study about both, very interesting pieces of history. Needless to say, even though I was playing Franks I would always convert as many longbowmen as possible and getting a sick army of frankish knights and british longbows. For some reason I never train axemen.

Aye, you get Agincourt in the fourth campaign with all the stand alone missions... I think that was in Conquerers... and then we got Joan of Arc for the French Campaign (franks), can't remember which expansion that one came with. But I meant more expansive than that.

For instance. We could have the celtic clashes with the Romans who settled in Britannia for a time before their final demise. Boudica would be an awesome campaign or maybe even from the other perspective. and then I think we actually have the battle of hastings at some point already in there but why not expand on that to include the period between the fall of Rome and 1066? You could get a campaign out of all the different British factions vying to power during that time if wanted.

Heck, if we only include the Roman's Chinese and Britain alone, we could get 60+ campaigns out of those three alone. The renaissence and imperial age clashes between spain and France and Britain would be hella fun :D and what about the French revolution?

There's so much potential it's not even funny :D Devs added so many civs, now they gotta make campaigns for every single one of them. At least 3/civ >: ]

The devs could get busy by just doing campaigns on dlcs. Currently doing the Edward Longshanks campaign. Funny info on some "English" royalty. Richard Lionheart didn't even knew how to speak english (very possible) and he spoke Norman French. Britain for him was merely tax money for his life spent in conquests on the mainland.

Anyway the Persian campaign could be anywhere in history up till the 15th century even later maybe as it covers more than 2000 years of history up till what is currently Iran and neighbouring countries.
