I must say I've not always been the biggest fan of their recent civ additions to the main AOE2 roster but this one easily takes the first place. The game is literally set after the Fall of Rome. Why the hell would you add Romans?

[Flickmann]

The game is NOT set entirely after the fall of Rome. We have The Huns as a civilisation and two whole campaigns set entirely before the western empire fell. Why are you so upset over this?

[Crossil]

So why are they in two campaigns already? Attila and Alaric.

I personally would've liked their campaign to be Syagrius (ruling the last "Roman" state after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire) or other latter emperors. At the latest, I might tolerate the crisis of the third century. Trajan, of all things?

[jonoliveira12]

Romans are in. Nothing to do now.

[gio.bruno]

The Trajan campaign is for the AOE1 mode.

For me, the ideal campaign for AOE2 Rome is a narration of the events that led to it's downfall.
Think of it as a prologue of the Dark Ages. Or the very transition from Antiquity to Dark Ages. The very start of the Middle Ages as we learnt in school.

[Akos]

We don't even have a campaign for aoe2 Romans.

[Akos]

I am just hoping there is no civ limit because the devs have been wasting civs slots greatly recently

[Dantastic]

Huns, Attila, Alaric.

I wanted to disagree with OP but all the good points were already made.

[Whakahoatanga]

Starting from 200 CE, the Romans were just dying. It's not exactly what comes to mind when I'm playing an empire building game.

The Huns died in the 5th century CE and they were/are already controversial.

The (Crimean) Goths disappear completely in the 18th century but their Kingdoms vanish at the end of the 8th century CE.

Romans are on a completely different scale of not belonging to the game than anything else before.

Might as well add the USA next /s.

USA sounds more like a age 3 civ

The game is about civilizations. The USA is a britishmen horde that ravages the land, not a civilization, more like a force of Entropy.

Does that mean you'll stop complaining about the Huns being present?

Does that mean you'll shut up about the Huns being present?

Now that the Romans are in, the Huns do technically belong.

Why don't the 'RoMaNs DoNt BeLoNg In AoE2' crowd not cry about this?
